Don't waste time on setup
Once installed, you can start playing with RetroDECK immediately. No setup wizards or configuration needed (although you can get into the weeds if you want).
Browse your games in style
Because RetroDECK is built on top of EmulationStation-DE, your game library will be matched by ScreenScraper and TheGamesDB. Metadata like cover art, release dates, and summaries will be automatically downloaded.
Access emulator settings without breaking your flow
The custom RetroDECK controller profile makes use of the left touch pad on your Steam Deck. Just touch it, and a radial menu will appear. Menus are tailored to your current emulator and include features such as save/load state, upscaling, and more.
Use your official and unofficial controllers
Use your first-party Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo controllers, as well as many 3rd party controllers. Guitar Hero controllers? ✅LEGO Dimensions ToyPad? ✅
More supported controllers and how to implement them can be found in the Wiki
Save your old data
If you have an emulator that's not supported by RetroDECK, you can use the Ponzu tool to move your save files to a new emulator. Please note that we do not officially support any emulators that are not part of the RetroDECK install.
