## What does it means "tailored for the Steam Deck"?
Means that all the configurations are ready to go and tweaked to get the best graphics and perfomance on the Deck without having the hassle of choosing, installing and configuring tons of emulators: just put your games in the roms folder, provide your own bioses and start your games.

**Do I have to partition my disk to install it?**\ ## Do I have to partition my disk to install it?
No partitioning or formatting is required. RetroDECK (differently from AmberELEC, Batocera and others) comes as a flatpak: just install it as any other application and launch it from your desktop or Steam library. You still retain the ability to return to SteamOS by pressing the Steam button or opening the Quick Access menu while using RetroDECK. No partitioning or formatting is required.

No, RetroDECK doesn't support Windows, but the project is fully opensource so you can port it if you wish. As an alternative, [Retrobat](http://www.retrobat.ovh/) offers similar functionality (but may not be compatible with RetroDECK's rom paths).
