There is the possibility to provide custom emutlators provided by the user.
At the moment the only one available is Yuzu.
Place your custom Yuzu files (AppImage and such) in the custom/yuzu folder without any other subfolders, like in the example:
retrodeck/customs/yuzu/yuzu*.AppImage
WARNINGS on custom emulators:
- Custom emulators are self managed: means that RetroDECK Team is not supporting nor troubleshooting them.
- Custom emulators could potentially break other included emulators configs: use them at your own risk.
- Remember to make the binary executable, otherwise they won't be launched.
- Hotkeys might not be working if not configured by the users.

View file

@ -0,0 +1,19 @@
Please note that the PSVita support is still experimental, and for the way Vita3K is working the automation is limited.
In order to install a PSVita games is needed to:
- Install a game opening the Vita3K emulator via Configurator, the supported formats are pkg, zip, vpk.
- Upon installation the zRIF may be asked, it's different for each game, you can find it via web search.
- Install DLCs and patches in the same way.
- Create an empty file in roms/psvita/gamename.psvita, please mind the .psvita extension. For example: roms/psvita/WipEout 2048 (EU).psvita.
- Edit the empty file adding the game Title ID (more below).
- The game should appear in the game list after RetroDECK is re-opened.
How to find a title ID
It can be found inside the Vita3K GUI in the Title ID column, or found via web search.
For example the game WipEout 2048 (EU) has an ID that is PCSF00007.
So simply add PCSF00007 to the WipEout 2048 (EU).psvita file and the setup for this game is complete.

# Themes general information
## How to switch between themes?
Go into `Main Menu` - `UI Settings` - `Theme Set` to select the theme you want to use.
## ES-DE Theme List
Look over at the [Theme List](https://gitlab.com/es-de/themes/themes-list) and find themes you like.
## How do I add additional themes?
RetroDECK uses [ES-DE](https://www.es-de.org) for its interface so any theme that is compatible with ES-DE can also be used with RetroDECK
### From the Theme Downloader
Go into `Main Menu` - `UI Settings` - `Theme Downloader` from there you can download a wide array of themes.
### From the Internet
If you find a theme you would like to use that is not in the `Theme Downloader` please download it and place it in `~/retrodeck/themes` (make sure the theme has its own folder in that directory).

# Different controller layouts in games
## Configurator Switch Y-X and A-B
You can enable a mode that switches the Y-X and A-B buttons for supported Emulators inside the `RetroDECK Configurator`.
## XBOX layout
Many devices like the `Steam Deck` uses the XBOX layout
**XBOX button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `Y` |
| Left | `X` |
| Right | `B` |
| Bottom | `A` |
**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a Xbox game that calls for the button `B` to be pressed it corresponds to the right button.
### Nintendo Layout
**Nintendo - button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `X` |
| Left | `Y` |
| Right | `A` |
| Bottom | `B` |
**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a Nintendo game that calls for the button `A` to be pressed it corresponds to the right button.
## Sony PlayStation Layout
The Sony PlayStation uses it's icon glyphs to represent it's buttons.
**Sony PlayStation - button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `Triangle` |
| Left | `Square` |
| Right | `Circle` |
| Bottom | `X` |
**Example:**
So if you are emulating a PlayStation game that calls for the button `Square` to be pressed it corresponds to the right button.
**Regional differences:**
Depending on the region of your Playstation game, the buttons `Circle` and `X` switches the meaning for confirm and cancel (they are still at the same physical location). But it is good to keep in mind if you are used to exiting out of menus with a certain button and wondering why it works in some games while others not.
**Example:**
In the EU/US `X` is confirm while in Japan `X` is cancel.

# General questions:
## What is the scope of this project?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Read the "Whats the long term vision and goals" on the Home page of this wiki.
</details>
## Do you include any games, firmware or BIOS?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, this can never be done for legal reasons.
</details>
### Can you at least point me towards where I can get them?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Again...no, this can never be done for legal reasons.
</details>
## Why are games call ROMs?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" and was a common method to store games.<br>
The games where later dumped from their ROM chips into digitalized files that can be played with an emulator.<br>
Read more on [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory)
</details>
## What is sudo?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
The command stands for "superuser do" and in the windows world it is called "run as administrator".
Su in "sudo" refers to the "superuser" or in the windows called the "administrator".
</details>
## Retrodeck is a flatpak, what is it?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
A flatpak is generated from a manifest, our manifest is this: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/net.retrodeck.retrodeck.yml
There is a software named flatpak-builder that is reading that manifest and downloads and builds everything that is needed.<br/>
This is creating the RetroDECK.flatpak file that can be distributed as a file or be included in the official Flathub repository accessible from Discovery.<br/>
[Flaptak](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html) is like a sandbox, with its own read only filesystem that is different from your computer's filesystem, that's why flatpak is safer than installing something directly in your filesystem, moreover it persists after any SteamOS update.
</details>
## What is RetroDECK cooker?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Cooker is a bleeding edge snapshot of the current commits, the action of uploading code to GitHub is called commit.<br/>
As you can understand, the code may not be always reviewed and so the cooker it's unstable by its nature, it's just suggested to testers or developer to try bleeding edge function or to contribute.<br/>
More info on the pinned post in #💙-i-want-to-help on our [Discord Server](discord.gg/Dz3szYsP8g).
I don't support the cooker user side.
</details>
### Why the name cooker? 🍲
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
That's what cooking in the pot at this moment and not yet ready to be served (released).<br> This name was also used by Linux Mandrake and Mandriva for the bleeding edge channel.
</details>
# Updates, feature requests and more devices/OS questions:
## Will you support the general Linux desktop and not only the Steam Deck?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Technically it is working, but the user experience might not be that great it could contain desktop specific bugs and other issues.
You will also need to manually configure the input to match your desktop and might need to tweak more settings. If you want to try it make sure that your distribution has native flatpak support else, you might need to install it.
We will start to tackle desktop bugs and have a bigger desktop focus after the beta period is over.
</details>
## Will you support other SteamOS or Linux handheld gaming devices with flatpak support?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
We do plan to support other SteamOS based devices in the future. But during the BETA we are focusing on the Steam Deck.
You can get it to run on other Linux based devices it is not just as seamless as we want it to be and does not live up to our higher standards.
You will need to manually configure the input to match your device and might need to tweak more settings if you try it on a none Steam Deck device. There might also be some hardware specific bugs.
</details>
## Will you support Windows or Windows based devices like the ROG Ally?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, RetroDECK doesn't support Windows, but the project is fully open source so you can port it if you wish.
As an alternative you could try https://www.retrobat.ovh/ that offers similar functionality.
</details>
## Will you support MacOS?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Not supported and not planned.
</details>
## Will you support Android/IOS?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Not supported and not planned.
</details>
## Will you implement X/Y/Z emulator?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Our goal is to implement and configure a selection of the best emulators for each system. If your favorite system is not integrated you can request its integration by opening an issue on this github page.
</details>
## Will you implement none emulator software inside of RetroDECK like Batocera?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Nothing in the short term but maybe in the future. It also need to fit inside the scope of project for example: GZDoom would be ok. But another project like a multimedia center solution like Kodi would not fit.
</details>
## When does the next version of RetroDECK come out?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
> When it's ready.
</details>
### When does the version after the upcoming version come out?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>

# Documentation questions
## I see ~ refereed in documentation and examples, what does it mean?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
The tilde character ~ is the a short way of saying the logged in users home directory in the UNIX world.<br>
So for example the Steam Deck<br>
`~ = /home/deck`<br>
Read more on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_directory)</details>
## I see SA refereed in documentation about emulators what does it mean?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
SA means Standalone and the emulator is not inside RetroArch/LibRetro but a separate program launched within RetroDECK. </details>
## I see CLI refereed in documentation what does it mean?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
CLI stands for command-line interface and is often refereed commands you can run in the the Linux Terminal </details>
# Other Emulation Solutions questions:
## Are you related to EmuDeck?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, the two projects are not related.
</details>
### So what's the difference between RetroDECK and EmuDeck?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Apart of that from the user point of view EmuDeck and RetroDECK may sound similar but technically they're completely different.
EmuDeck is a shell script that you run in the Steam Decks desktop mode that downloads and configures all the separate emulators & plugins for you from various sources using a built in electron based gui.
RetroDECK is an all-in-one application contained in a sandboxed environment called "flatpak", that is downloaded from Discover (Flathub). This is Valves and other Linux desktops recommended way of distributing applications on the Steam Deck and Linux desktop in a safe way. It grantees for example even if Valve makes major changes to the file system in a SteamOS update, RetroDECK and it’s configurations will not be touched and will be safe.
RetroDECK only writes in these two folders: `~/retrodeck` for roms/configurations/bios etc.. And an hidden flatpak folder located in `~/.var/net.retrodeck.retrodeck`.
As everything is contained within those two folders it will not have conflict if you decide to install an emulator from another source like Yuzu or RetroArch with your RetroDECK setup. Even if you uninstall RetroDECK all your roms/bios/saves/etc.. are safe until you remove the `~/retrodeck` folder. So if you for some reason don't like the application after playing for a while you can easily move out your important files after an uninstall (or you can just reinstall RetroDECK again and start where you left off).
This approach of everything is in a all-in-one package will also allow RetroDECK to do tighter integrations with each bundled emulator in the future and expose all those settings when you are inside RetroDECK, so you do not need to go into Steam Decks desktop mode to do changes and tweaks. All things should be, in the long term, inside the application itself and you can already see a part of that inside the RetroDECK Configurator in the Tools menu.
</details>
### Can I install RetroDECK if I have EmuDeck already?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Yes, as RetroDECK is completely standalone.
</details>
## Are you related anyway to Batocera?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, but RetroDECK had some dialog before the project started with some of the Batocera crew if there where any plans to start a Batocera non-OS application (there where no plans at that moment and their focus is to make the best retro gaming operative system). RetroDECK and Batocera also have good dialog together with representatives of each projects inside the internal development channels.
</details>
## Batocera or EmuDeck or RetroDECK I still don't get it?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
- Batocera is a retro emulation operative system that you need to boot into separately (like from an SDCard) or replace your current OS. <br> For the Steam Deck you lose access to the SteamOS features and your emulation gaming is separate from your SteamOS gamemode gaming. That said; Batocera has many years of development time, is a great mature OS with a lot of features.
- EmuDeck is a shell script that you download and run. The script downloads & configures all the separate emulators & plugins for you from various sources for various operative systems.
- RetroDECK is an all-in-one application that already provides everything you need without to many extra steps for the user.It is on flathub and thus allows the users to update the application via standard safe operative system update methods.
You can see RetroDECK as the in between of EmuDeck and Batocera. We hope that one day we can offer a complete Batocera-like experience right inside your operative system.
</details>
## What is your relationship with EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE)?<br>
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
ES-DE and RetroDECK are separate projects, but we collaborate to give the best possible user experience.<br>
We have a unique partnership where inside the ES-DE code is a section just for RetroDECK specific features. <br>

</details>
# RetroDECK usage questions:
## Can I launch RetroDECK from inside of the Steam Decks gamemode?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Yes, RetroDECK currently only supports Steam Deck's gamemode as it relies on Steam Controller configs. <br>
To add it into Steam please check the second step of [[Steam Deck: Installation and updates]].
</details>
## Do I have to partition or format my disk/sdcard to install RetroDECK?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, partitioning or formatting is not needed at all. RetroDECK (differently from AmberELEC, Batocera and others) comes as a flatpak. Just install it as any other application and launch it from your desktop and/or Steam library.
</details>
## Can I move the ROMs folder to another place?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Yes, you can do so inside the configurator and the `Move RetroDECK` option.
</details>
## Is there a way to reset RetroDECK?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Yes, you can reset various parts of the software using the RetroDECK configurator under the option reset<br/>
Or you can use CLI arguments in the terminal.
Resets the whole RetroDECK at factory defaults:
```bash
flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck --reset-all
```
Resets RetroArch configs at factory defaults:
```bash
flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck --reset-ra
```
Resets all the standalone emulators configs at factory defaults:
```bash
flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck --reset-sa
```
</details>
## How do I uninstall RetroDECK?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
**On the Steam Deck:**<br>
Put the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode `Steam button` > `Power` > `Switch to Desktop`<br>
* Go into Discover
* Press the `Installed` tab and find RetroDECK
* Press the `Uninstall` button
* Manually backup then remove the ~\RetroDECK folder. Warning! Make a backup your data roms/bios/saves etc if you want to save them else they will be gone.
</details>
## Does uninstalling RetroDECK remove my roms, bios and saves?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
No, as long as you don't manually don't delete the ~\RetroDECK folder and it's content your data is safe. You could uninstall RetroDECK and install it again and keep going.
</details>
## Where can I find the logfiles?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
> In `~/retrodeck/logs/retrodeck.log`
</details>
## Can I add a single game to my Steam Library or with Steam Rom Manager?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Not yet but might be in the future, it is technical possible but quite complicated and needs to be done via launch script. We hope we can simplify this in the future via an API call or inside the Configurator.
Example of a launch script to launch to launch a Wii game called Baloon World:
`flatpak run --command=dolphin-emu-wrapper net.retrodeck.retrodeck -e "/run/media/mmcblk0p1/retrodeck/roms/wii/Baloon World.rvz" -b `
</details>
## If I installed RetroDECK from outside of discover, do I need to uninstall the application to update?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
If you previously installed from outside of Discover, you can find the instructions here to
[install from discover](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Steam-Deck-Installation-and-updates)
or here
[to install .flatpak file](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Developer-notes#managing-retrodeck-flatpak-file).</details>
## After installing RetroDECK manually, Discover is not opening or giving me some errors?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
This bug is appearing only when installing RetroDECK manually and not from Discover. The discover release is suggested for all the users.
However you can run this to fix it: `flatpak remote-delete retrodeck-origin`
</details>
# General emulation & games questions:
## What emulators and software is included in RetroDECK?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
You can check this wiki what emulators are currently bundled. We plan to have support for most of the emulators ES-DE support in the long term.
</details>
## How can I set another default emulator?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
The ES-DE interface allows you to change emulators for systems that has many different emulators. In the main menu go to `Other Settings` - `Alternative Emulators` to set other defaults.
</details>
## Game X/Y/Z is not working or showing black screen
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Some emulators needs BIOS and/or firmware files, first you can check if you got the [needed ones](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/BIOS-&-Firmware).<br/>
Then you can check if your got a bad dump by comparing your hash with the ones of the official lists on the internet, such as [no-intro](https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=search&s=64) or even [RetroAchievements](https://retroachievements.org) if your game is supported.<br/>
Moreover please mind that some emulator require very specific roms, please [read here](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/How-to-Manage-your-games#special-roms-formats).
If it still not working you are welcome to ask for support on our [Discord Server](discord.gg/Dz3szYsP8g).
</details>
## PS2 games are not working or buggy in the RetroArch Core.
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
It's a known issue with if you are using the libretro core but you can use the the standalone pcsx2 emulator to solve this issue.<br>
Be sure to check that the bios files are in the correct folder. Read more on the [Emulators: BIOS and Firmware](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Emulators%3A-BIOS-and-Firmware)# page on this wiki.
</details>
## I configured RetroArch but the configuration was not saved.
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Configuring RetroArch can be dangerous for an inexperienced user, so RetroDECK is set to don't save the RetroArch configuration upon exiting.<br/>
The configuration must be saved willingly by going to: `Main Menu` -> `Configuration File` -> `Save Current Configuration`.<br/>
If you find some better configurations however, you may contribute by sharing it on the #💙-i-want-to-help channel on our [Discord Server](discord.gg/Dz3szYsP8g) that may be included in the next version.
</details>
## Will you support Lightguns (Sinden, Gun4IR, Samco etc...)?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
The long term answer is yes, but there are several issues that need to be addressed from various dependencies that are beyond the scope of what RetroDECK can do by it self. We are talking to several projects and hope to have those issues addressed in the future. Right now the best way to use lightgun hardware is to use Batocera as they have developed native support in their OS.
</details>
# Steam Deck emulation questions:
## XBOX games are slow on the Steam Deck
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Unfortunately on thanks to missing optimizations focusing on the Steam Deck and the hardware is limited in scope makes performance not great. Like most emulators they will get improvements over time and we will follow the XBOX emulators progress with great interest.
</details>
## The games are stuck at 30FPS on the Steam Deck!
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Press the [...] button on the Steam Deck, go into the Power menu and see if the Framerate Limit is set to 30FPS and set it to 60FPS or off.
</details>
## Fast forwarding is slow on the Steam Deck!
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Same as above: Check the Power menu Framerate Limit.
</details>
# Theme questions:
## How can I add more themes?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
In the future we wish to include a themes browser and downloader, but for the moment you can put your own themes here: <br>
~/retrodeck/themes
</details>
## How do you switch between themes inside of RetroDECK?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
**On the Steam Deck:**<br>
you can switch between them by pressing the `☰` button to open the menu and then navigate to `UI Settings > Theme Set` to select the theme you want to use.
</details>
## "Why does the theme I am using not work?" or "Why does the layout look broken?" (black screen with blue text)?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
* Please make sure you are specifically using a theme that is compatible with [ES-DE](https://www.es-de.org). <br>
* If you are trying to use a theme that was built for Batocera it will likely not be compatible.<br>
* ES-DE uses a unique theme engine so themes are not directly portable from Batocera. <br>
* Please see ES-DE's [User Guide](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#themes) for more details.
</details>
## Why does the theme layout look squished?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
* The Steam Deck has a screen aspect ratio of `16:10` and most themes that you will find are built for an aspect ratio of `16:9`. Depending on the theme's design this may cause the layout to appear squished when using it on the Steam Deck's display. <br>
* All of the included themes are built for 16:10 aspect ratio so you should not see this issue with any of them; however if you are downloading a theme from another source there is a chance this can occur for you. <br>
* There are 2 ways to fix this if it does occur: (1) see if a specific version was built for `16:10` aspect ratio and use that instead or (2) edit the theme to make it compatible with that aspect ratio.
</details>
# Scraping questions
## Can I manually add custom game images/videos/media for games that I can not scrape?
<details><summary>Click here to see the answer</summary>
Yes, check the file structure over at Emulationstation DE's user guide on gitlab.<br>

# Getting started
This is a guide on how to get started with RetroDECK
# Step 0: Prerequisites
## What do I need?
You need to meet the following prerequisites before you start following this guide:
* You need to have a device to install RetroDECK on (we currently only support the Steam Deck).
* Read up on the FAQs pages: <br>
[Do you include any games, firmware or BIOS?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#do-you-include-any-games-firmware-or-bios)<br>
[Where can I get them?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#can-you-at-least-point-me-towards-where-i-can-get-them)<br>
[What does ~ mean?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#i-see--refereed-in-documentation-and-examples-what-does-it-mean)
* Have related BIOS & Firmware ready
* Have backup rom files of the games you want to play ready
# Step 1: Installation & Configuration
Only install RetroDECK from the official channels via flathub!
## Steam Deck - Installation<br>
Read and follow the:
* [Installation guide for the Steam Deck](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Steam-Deck-Installation-and-updates)<br>
## Linux Desktop - Installation<br>
(more information later)
## Other SteamOS devices - Installation<br>
(more information later)
# Step 2: BIOS & Firmware
**NOTE:** On the Steam Deck this step needs to be done in Desktop Mode
## Information
Read up on [BIOS & Firmware](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/BIOS-and-Firmware)
* The BIOS & Firmware files go into the `~/retrodeck/bios/` directory <br>
**Example:**<br>
You have a BIOS for the PSX called `exampleBIOSPSX.bin`, you just put that file into the `~/retrodeck/bios/` folder.
# Step 3: ROMs
**NOTE:** On the Steam Deck this step needs to be done in Desktop Mode
## On ROMs
Rom files needs to be put in their corresponding system directory inside the `roms` folder.<br>
Note that the `roms` folder location can be different depending on where you choose to put it during the installation process. The following options are available during the installation:
### **Choice: Internal**<br>
If during the installation of RetroDECK you choose the Internal option for the roms folder:<br>
The roms folder is:`~/retrodeck/roms/`
### **Choice: SDCard**<br>
If during the installation of RetroDECK you choose the SDCard option for the roms folder:<br>
The roms folder is: `<sdcard>/retrodeck/roms/`<br>
(Please note that the `<sdcard>` is an example and not called so inside your Linux/SteamOS system but rather your unique per SDCard ID number).<br>
## Let's get started on ROMs:
Read up on [Emulators: Folders & File extensions](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Emulators-Folders-&-File-extensions) to see what folder each system has.
* Put the corresponding roms inside the corresponding system folder
**Example:**<br>
You have an example NES game called `ExampleNESGame.nes` <br>
You have to put that game into the `/retrodeck/roms/nes` folder.
# Step 4: Playing the ROMs
## Steam Deck - Gamemode
Return to gamemode on the Steam Deck and start up RetroDECK. Now the systems you put rom files for should be shown and be able to be played.
**Example:**<br>
The NES column should now be shown with our `ExampleNESGame.nes` from `Step 3`
# Step 5: Making the games "pretty" with videos, images and art.
Do the following:
1. Make an account on https://www.screenscraper.fr/
2. Read up on scraping on the [ES-DE Guide](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/EmulationStation-DE-User-Guide#scraping-and-editing-roms-metadata-images-etc)
3. Login to your screenscraper account inside RetroDECK and start scraping.
4. Look at your nice pretty games.

* [My system storage ran out after scraping!](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#my-system-storage-ran-out-after-scraping)
# Step 6: Themes
RetroDECK comes with several themes built in for the ES-DE interface.
## How to switch between themes?
* On the Steam Deck: you can switch between them by pressing the `☰` button to open the menu and then navigate to `UI Settings > Theme Set` to select the theme you want to use.
## How to add more themes?

# Not yet officially implemented in RetroDECK
Some of these features can be configured by the users manually but work is being done to implement across the board over time.
**Missing features:**
* Cloud saves
* Netplay
* External controller support *
* External display resolution support
* Not all Emulators supported by ES-DE are included as of this moment (more will be added all the time).
* A configurator that is controller usable
* Better art
( * External controller support "semi works" in some emulators if you have docked the Steam Deck and pair a Bluetooth controller inside the Steam Gamemode GUI. Not all hotkey combinations will work how ever!)

# Where to put the games?
PS3 games comes either as a Blu-ray rip directory (folder) with a bunch of different files or a digital PSN title that needs to be installed (see guide on this page).
PS3 games should be put under the `retrodeck/roms/ps3/` directory.
# How to: Install the PS3UPDAT.PUP firmware
There are two ways to install the firmware:
## Install PS3 firmware from RetroDECK Configurator
1. Open RPCS3 `RetroDECK Configurator` - `RetroDECK: Tools` - `Install: PS3 Firmware`.
2. Press `OK` and this will download the PS3 Firmware and open RPCS3.
3. You will get a prompt asking if you want to install the firmware from the /tmp/ folder, say `Yes`
4. Wait for the installation to finish
5. Exit RPCS3 from the GUI under `File -> Exit`
## Manual Download
1. Download the latest PS3 firmware `PS3UPDAT.PUP` from Sony [here](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/)
2. Open RPCS3 `RetroDECK Configurator -> Open Emulator -> RPCS3`.
3. In the RPCS3 interface navigate to `File -> Install Firmware`.
4. In the file browser navigate and select the file `PS3UPDAT.PUP` file.
5. The firmware should now be installed.
# How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface
To get the games to show up you need to rename the directory to end with a `.ps3` file extension.
_Example:_
You have directory dump of the a game Blu-ray PlayStation 3 game called Hockey World, the directory is called `Hockey World`.
To get the it to show up you need to rename and add `.ps3` in the end of the directory name.
The directory `Hockey World` becomes `Hockey World.ps3` and the game will show up.
# How to: Install DLC or patches on disc based games
**NOTE:** On the Steam Deck this could be easier to do in `Desktop Mode`. If you want to do it in `Game Mode` you need to press the `Steam` button and switch between windows using the window switcher.
If you want to install some DLC or patch you can do that trough RPCS3 itself.
1. Open RPCS3 `RetroDECK Configurator -> Open Emulator -> RPCS3`.
2. In the RPCS3 interface navigate to `File -> Install Packages/Raps/Edats`.
3. In the file browser navigate and select the file you want to install.
4. The file will be installed inside the a new game directory on the RPCS3 hard drive under
`retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` where `GAMEID` is unique for each game [PS3GAMEID-List](https://www.gametdb.com/PS3/List).
5. The patches or dlc should now be installed and in the GAMEID directory.
6. Move the content of the GAMEID directory into the games directory inside the `retrodeck/roms/ps3/GAMENAME.ps3` directory and overwrite & replace the files.
8. You can now remove the `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` directory as the files have been moved.
9. The game can be launched inside the ES-DE interface with patches and DLC installed.
_Example:_
The game `Hockey World.ps3` inside the `retrodeck/roms/ps3/` has some DLC & and a patch you want to install.
You follow the above guide and install the files.
The installation made a newly created directory called `BCA111111` under `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/`.
You open up the directory `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/BCA111111` and copy all of it's content and paste it into `retrodeck/roms/ps3/Hockey World.ps3` directory and replace/overwrite the files.
You can then remove the `BCA111111` directory in `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/`
# How to: Install digital PSN titles
**NOTE:** On the Steam Deck this could be easier to do in `Desktop Mode`. If you want to do it in `Game Mode` you need to press the `Steam` button and switch between windows using the window switcher.
If you want to install some PSN tiltes you can do that trough RPCS3 itself.
1. Open RPCS3 `RetroDECK Configurator -> Open Emulator -> RPCS3`.
2. In the RPCS3 interface navigate to `File -> Install Packages/Raps/Edats`.
3. In the file browser navigate and select the file you want to install.
4. The file will be installed inside the games directory on the RPCS3 hard drive under
`retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` where `GAMEID` is unique for each game [PS3GAMEID-List](https://www.gametdb.com/PS3/List).
5. Install any patches or DLC for the game by repeating step .2 and .3 for each file.
6. After the game is ready move the digital games directory from `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/GAMEID` to `retrodeck/roms/ps3`
7. Rename the directory to the name of the game and add the .ps3 file extension to the end of the directory (see guide on top).
8. The game should now show up and be playable inside the ES-DE interface.
_Example:_
You installed a file that contained the digital game Hockey World 2, it created a directory called `BCA123456` under `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/`
After that you moved `BCA123456` from `retrodeck/bios/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/game/` to `retrodeck/roms/ps3`.
The directory `BCA123456` is renamed to `Hockey World 2.ps3`.

# How RetroDECK was born?
Let's take a step back.
RetroDECK was born on March 4th 2022 in Kyoto, Japan, with the name of [351EDECK](https://imgur.com/a/tGC9ZGO) because I am also one of the founding members of 351ELEC, now [AmberELEC](https://amberelec.org/).
What I wanted to do was to "port" 351ELEC to the Steam Deck, but instead of doing a custom firmware to flash, doing it as an application that could be launched from Steam.
Eventually, after talking to the other team members, we decided that we didn't want to support another platform such as Steam Deck, so I decided to continue the project on my own, renaming it to RetroDECK.
Back then I had many options on how to create 351EDECK, such as a bash script, appimage and flatpak.
In the beginning I opted for a simple shell script, in fact RetroDECK/351EDECK v0.1a existed as a mere shell script.
However I had bad feedbacks from the community because someone was feeling unsafe to give my script the root privileges so evaluating the Steam Deck use case I felt like it was not the right direction to take, the people was not feeling comfortable to give the sudo to a random script downloaded from the internet, so they asked to packetize it in some way.
Valve suggests the flatpak technology to port the applications on Steam Deck so, I decided to follow their guidelines, and I created the RetroDECK that you know today, starting from a Manjaro virtual machine as a development environment because I didn't have a Steam Deck yet.

- Launch RetroDECK and enjoy
### Other quick tips:
- Read up on the [[Steam Deck: Hotkeys and controls]] to ease your navigation.
- Read up on the [[EmulationStation DE: User Guide]]
- Check out our other software recommendations [[Steam Deck: Software recommendations]].
- Check various optional optimizations that can make some emulators run even better [[Steam Deck: Optimizations]].
## Full step by step guide:
### Step 1: Go to Desktop Mode
- Put the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode `Steam button` > `Power` > `Switch to Desktop`
### Step 2: Install from Discover
- Open the Discover application.

# How do I update RetroDECK on the Steam Deck?
## Automatic Updates
RetroDECK features Automatic Updates and should download the latest version when you start the application.
This feature can be turned off inside the `RetroDECK Configurator`.
## Manually from Desktop Mode:
- Put the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode `Steam button` > `Power` > `Switch to Desktop`
- Open the Discover application.
- Click on the updates tab.
- If there are any updates available it will be shown here.
- Click on the `Update` or `Update all` buttons.
# How do I move my installation to a new Steam Deck?
**Note:** depending on how comfortable you are using the Steam Deck controller to navigate the desktop environment, this may be easier to do with a connected mouse and keyboard.
The general process is as follows:
1. Put the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode `Steam button` > `Power` > `Switch to Desktop`.
2. Back up existing RetroDECK files.
3. Install RetroDECK on your new Steam Deck [from the Discover store](#step-2-install-from-discover).
4. Before starting RetroDECK, restore files that were backed up in Step 1.
5. Start RetroDECK.
### Step 1: Back up your existing files
You will need to backup two directories: the main `retrodeck` folders and a hidden `net.retrodeck.retrodeck` folder.
- First put the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode `Steam button` > `Power` > `Switch to Desktop`.
- Main `retrodeck` folder
- Open the Dolphin File Manager (the folder icon in the taskbar).
- Navigate to `/home/retrodeck/`. This folder should contain sub-folders such as `bios`, `roms`, and `saves`.
- Copy all contents of this directory to a folder on another device, such as a thumb drive, microSD Card, or NAS
- Hidden `net.retrodeck.retrodeck` folder
- Return to `home`
- Find the "hamburger" menu button (three horizontal lines in the top-right). Open the menu and select `Show Hidden Files`. If on a keyboard, you can type `Ctrl+H`.
- Navigate to `home/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/`. Again, copy all contents of this directory to a folder another device, such as a thumb drive, microSD Card, or NAS.
- Ensure that you are keeping your backups of these two directories in two separate folders.
### Step 2: Install RetroDECK on your new Steam Deck
- Follow steps 1 and 2 of the [standard installation guide](#step-2-install-from-discover).
- Stop after Step 2.
- **Do not open RetroDECK yet!**
### Step 3: Restore your backed up files
- Restore your backed up contents of `retrodeck` to `/home/retrodeck/` on the new device.
- Restore your backed up contents of `net.retrodeck.retrodeck` to `home/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/` on the new device.
- In both cases, you can safely overwrite all existing files.
### Step 4: Return to Game Mode and launch RetroDECK
- Launch RetroDECK from Game Mode and continue with steps 3 and 4 of the [standard installation guide](#step-4-optional-extras).
- Don't forget to install the official controller profile!

# What are some optimizations for the Steam Deck to make emulation even better?
These optimizations are entirely optional and but they can give you better performance on some more demanding emulators.
## Increase the VRAM to 4GB
This increases the VRAM to 4GB in the BIOS, this can give you improvements in certain emulators.
* Power off your Steam Deck completely
* Hold the `Power Button` and `Volume Up Button` until you hear a chime/beep and release the buttons.
* Click on `Setup Utility`
* Click on `Advanced`
* Change`UMA Frame buffer Size` to 4GB
* Save and Exit
## Setup a sudo password
[What is sudo?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#what-is-sudo)
This is a requirement for many optimizations and solutions, it also makes your Deck safer.
It enables you to run commands/applications heighten sudo privileges.
* Go to `Desktop Mode`
* Open `Konsole` or another `Terminal`
* Type `passwd`
* You will now set your new sudo password
* After you are done you can close the terminal
## Install CryoUtilities
This requires that you have set up a sudo password.
This will create a 16GB SWAP file that can improve the performance for some emulators. Note that it will take up that extra space on your Steam Deck.
There is a official video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9EjXYZUqUs&t=17s)
* Go to `Desktop Mode`
* Open a web browser and go to the [CryoUtilities](https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities) github page
* Click on releases
* Download the latewst `cryo_utilities` version and save to the Desktop or Home folder
* Double click on the file and it will begin the installation
* After installation is complete you will find a new desktop icon `CryoUtilities`
* Click on `CryoUtilities`
* Click on `Recommended Settings`
* It should now be done
## Install Decky Loader
Decky Loader is a [homebrew plugin store](https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/) for the Steam Deck and it also enables `CEF Remote Debugging` during installation.
This requires that you have set up a sudo password.
* Go to `Desktop Mode`
* Open `Konsole` or another `Terminal`
* Type `curl -L https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/releases/latest/download/install_release.sh | sh`
* Decky Loader should now be installed and you can go back into `Game Mode`.
* To access Decky Loader you only need to press the `Menu Button - (•••)`
### Decky Loader: Install Power Tools
Power Tools allows you to tweak various performance settings of the Steam Deck.
What the best setting is differs per emulator or even per game.
Decky Loader is a requirement.
In Game Mode:
* `Menu Button - (•••)`
* Go into Decky Loader
* From the Store install Power Tools
* This will add a 🔌 icon to the `Menu Button - (•••)` where you can access Power Tools.

# Any other recommended software?
The following software works great with the Steam Deck and might enhance your RetroDECK experience (these are entirely optional to install).
There is a guide on how to install several of them under [Steam Deck: Optimizations](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Steam-Deck%3A-Optimizations).
# Steam Deck specific recommendations
For general Linux Desktop recommendations go to [Linux Desktop: Software recommendations](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Linux-Desktop-Software-recommendations) as many of them also work on the Steam Deck.
## CryoUtilities
Scripts and utilities to improve performance and manage storage on the Steam Deck.
_Made by CryoByte33_
[CryoUtilities](https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities)
## Decky Loader
Is a great piece of software that allows custom plugins inside Steam Deck's gamemode. It can open up more advanced features then the standard Steam Deck experience offers. But it's a bit more technical to install, please follow the guide on their github.
_Made by Steam Deck Homebrew Team_
[Decky Loader](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader)
## PowerTools
If you install the Decky Plugin Loader above you can download the PowerTools application from the plugin store that let's you do advanced tweaking of the Steam Decks hardware. This can greatly improve performance on certain games in the PS2,GC and above generations. But it requires you to find the knowledge of what setting works best for each game and/or emulator.

[PowerTools](https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools)
## Discover Overlay
If you use Discord this is a program that adds Discord integration into the Steam Deck's gamemode UI.
It's already in on flathub and downloadable in Discover. Note that you need to install and login to Discord as well.

# RetroDECK 0.7.1b
### Release Date: 2023-08-22
## Information:
- Steam Deck users update RetroDECK from `Discover` in Desktop Mode.
- Don't forget to reapply the latest controller layout: Go into the `Templates` tab and reapply the new profile ending with 0.7.1b (there is no need to reinstall the entire layout from the Configurator).
## Bugfixes & other changes:
- Fixed an issue to make sure the RD controller layout file at update with each RD update.
- Fixed an issue with PPSSPP that made `L` and `R` incorrectly bound.
- Fixed an issue in the Configurator that prevented the Yuzu preset for swapping A/B X/Y from working.
- Fixed an notification issues on the latest SteamOS Beta releases.
- Fixed an rsync permissions issue in the RetroDECK Framework.
- Updated Yuzu presets to handle new config syntax in the RetroDECK Framework.
- Changed auto-update to notification only, until permissions error can be worked out.
- Added some new pixelart icons by ItzSelenux (pixelitos-icon-theme)
## Updates
- All Emulators and ES-DE have been updated
## Steam Deck - Global Controller Layout:
We have done some changes based on community feedback
**Layout Changes:**
- `Select` is now a hotkey trigger while pressing it down, `L4` and `R4` are still triggers as well.
- The RetroArch combo of `Select` + `Start` = `Quit` now works on many SA-Emulators.
- `Open Menu` is removed from `Select`.
- `R5` = `A` button (this allows for great Wii controls on the right touchpad and pressing down the R5 for A).
- `L5` = `B` button.
**Global hotkey changes:**
- `Open Menu` is on `Y`.
- `Increase Emulation Speed` is on `Dpad-UP`.
- `Decrease Emulation Speed` is on `Dpad-Down`.
- `Fullscreen OFF` command is removed (as emulators have migrated to toggle).
## Known issues
- The built in auto-updater is not working (we are working on it). Discover is ok.
- Some emulators don't have hotkey support or have bugs affecting their hotkeys.
# RetroDECK v0.7.0b - Amazing Aozora
### Release Date: 2023-06-16
## Read First – Important Changes!
* `PCSX2-SA` latest updates are not compatible with old save states. Please make sure you do an in-game save to your virtual memory card before upgrading.
* The following emulators have changed the defaults and now run the stand-alone version: `Dolphin`, `Citra`, `PPSSPP`. <br>
If you have saves states or just want to go back to the RetroArch version, you can always switch back by pressing: `Other Settings` – `Alternative Emulators` and set them back to the core versions.
* If you decide to install the new `RetroDECK Controller Layout` for the Steam Deck (highly recommended), it will wipe your custom configurations and emulator settings. That’s because all the configs needs to be updated and changed to be compatible. <br>
The choice is yours (you can always install it later via the Configurator if you change your mind).
## New Emulators
- Wii U powered by CEMU
- We had hopes to add MAME standalone as well but we had to push it towards a future update because of various issues. That's why there is a MAME submenu in the new radial menus.
## New General Features
### New - Steam Deck Controller Layout
Please read up on: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Steam-Deck%3A-Hotkeys-and-controls
- All hotkeys for all emulators have been unified where possible.
This Steam Deck Controller Layout features both
- Radial input menus on the left touchpad.
- Button bound hotkeys you can access by either holding R4 or L4.
**Installation of the layout:**
**From an upgrade:**
A upgrade from a older version to 0.7b you will get a prompt during the upgrade process that asks you if you want to install the layout. If you choose to do this (highly recommended), it will reset your emulators custom configurations if you had them.
**For everyone (upgrade or fresh install):**
After installation need to manually enable the config as under (you also need to do this for a new RetroDECK install): <br>
`Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates` `RetroDECK: Official Layout` with a version number.
**NOTE:**
Not all Emulators has hotkey support; some have partial support, some has none and some has a majority implemented.
**Known issues:**
PPSSPP has an issue with flatpak hotkeys currently on their github so we have mapped ESC `HK + R3` ( press the `Escape` key from the radial menu) to `Open PPSSPP Menu`. In this way you can shutdown, save and access PPSSPP functions from there.
As soon as the issue is solved we will remap everything to the correct hotkeys.
### New - RetroDECK system folders
Handling modpacks and texture packs has never been easier! You can read more on the wiki!
https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki
**New folder: Mods**
`retrodeck/mods/` Inside you will find easy to access mod folders for the following systems: Citra ,Dolphin, Primehack, Yuzu
**New folder: Texture Packs**
`retrodeck/texture_packs/` inside you will find easy to access texture pack folders for the following systems: Citra, Dolphin, Duckstation, PCSX2, PPSSPP, Primehack, RetroArch-Mesen, RetroArch-Mupen64Plus
**New folder: Gamelists**
`retrodeck/gamelists` gamelists are now moved into by default for ease of access and added security.

### Release Date: 2022-10-12
## Important: New save folder structure and migration in 0.5.0b
### General information
[I see ~ refereed in documentation and examples, what does it mean?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs-Frequently-asked-questions#i-see--refereed-in-documentation-and-examples-what-does-it-mean)
**Saves = game saves and save states**<br>
The word "saves" is used to reference both save files and save state files in this wiki article. Both files are treated in the same manner, the only difference is that saves are located at.
**PLEASE BE PATIENT:** <br>
The migration of the saves only needs to be done once. <br>
Depending on how large roms library you have, this migration can take several minutes.<br>
If you have an extremely large roms library (+5.000 roms) this process can take over an hour.
### Why are you changing the save folder structure?
In the long run, it is about the safety of your saves and we feel it's better to tackle this now during the beta period then later.
By default, RetroArch (which handles emulation of most older systems) puts all your saves together in one folder. <br>
This is normally not an issue, but what you if you want to play the same game but different versions of it across multiple systems? <br>
RetroArch has no way of telling the difference between a save for `Mortal Kombat 3` on the Sega Genesis and on the Super Nintendo when the saves are all bundled together. RetroDECK is moving to a save storage structure where every save file is in a per system sub-folder inside of the `~/retrodeck/saves/` for game saves or `~/retrodeck/states/` for save states.
### How saves are stored in RetroDECK pre 0.5.0b:
_Example: Structure of the `~/retrodeck/saves/` folder_
~/retrodeck/saves/Final Fantasy 3.save
~/retrodeck/saves/Sonic the Hedgehog.save
_Example: Structure of the `~/retrodeck/states/` folder_
~/retrodeck/saves/Final Fantasy VI.savestate
~/retrodeck/saves/Sonic the Hedgehog 2.savestate
### How saves are stored in RetroDECK post 0.5.0b:
_Example: Structure of the `~/retrodeck/saves/` folder and with new sub-folders_
~/retrodeck/saves/nes/Super Mario Bros. 3.save
~/retrodeck/saves/genesis/Sonic the Hedgehog.save
_Example: Structure of the `~/retrodeck/states/` folder_
~/retrodeck/states/snes/Final Fantasy VI.savestate
~/retrodeck/states/genesis/Sonic the Hedgehog 2.savestate
Since RetroArch will be looking for your saves in new locations, RetroDECK will do its best to sort your saves into the new structure automatically, so you likely won't need to do anything except enjoy knowing your saves are safer than ever.
### How will it work?
* The fist time you run RetroDECK after upgrading from a previews version to 0.5.0b a new dialog prompt will appear letting you that the migration process will start after pressing `OK`.
* The migration process matches up all of your saves with all of your ROMs.
* Once a match is found, the save is moved to where the sub-folder it needs to be in.
* At the end of the process RetroDECK will let you know if any saves could not be sorted automatically.
* **NOTE:** Only saves created by RetroArch need to be sorted, standalone emulators such as Yuzu and Citra already use their own folder structure and don't need to go through this process.
* **NOTE:** If a match can't be found (for instance if you have a save for Mortal Kombat 3 and have both the SNES and Genesis editions in your ROM library) the save will be left alone and will need to be sorted manually, since only you will know for sure what system you were playing that game on.
### Where will my saves be moved to?
The saves will still be in the `~/retrodeck/saves` folder, but will also be moved into a new folder that matches what system the associated game is on.
_Example: Game save - The Legend of Zelda on the NES_<br>
`~/retrodeck/saves/The Legend of Zelda.save`
will be moved to
`~/retrodeck/saves/nes/The Legend of Zelda.save`
_Example 2: Save state - Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES_<br>
`~/retrodeck/states/Super Mario Bros 3.savestate`
will be moved to
`~/retrodeck/states/nes/Super Mario Bros 3.savestate`
### Why could not all saves be moved automatically?
If you have a large ROM library, it is likely you will have multiple versions of the same game across multiple systems.
RetroArch creates save files that have the same name as the original ROM file. If there are multiple ROM files with the same name as a save, there is no way to tell which system the save belongs to.
In the interest of ultimate safety for your saves, we only sort files we can be sure of. It is unfortunate that some saves may need to be sorted manually for some users, but this is a one time process that will keep your saves safer in the long run.
### How do I move them manually?
The saves can be moved like any other file, using the Dolphin file manager included in the Steam Deck desktop mode to the corresponding sub-folder inside `/retrodeck/saves/(system sub-folder)`.
### Where can I find saves that could not be moved?
If you see a message after the migration process saying some of your saves could not be sorted automatically, they will be found where they have always been, in `~/retrodeck/saves` or `~/retrodeck/states`.
In the `~/retrodeck` folder there will also be a file called `manual_sort_needed.log` listing every save that could not be sorted automatically with a reason it was not moved. In order to be used again, these files will need to be moved into the folder matching the name of the system that the game the save belongs to runs on.
For example, this save file could not be sorted automatically, because there are multiple ROMs in the library with the same name.
**Example: Game saves** <br
A game save from Mortal Kombat 3: `saves/Mortal Kombat 3.save`
Two roms with the same name exist, one for the SNES and one for the Genesis/Megadrive:
~/retrodeck/roms/genesis/Mortal Kombat 3.rom
~/retrodeck/roms/snes/Mortal Kombat 3.rom
If you have playing on the SNES, the save will need to be moved to:
`/retrodeck/saves/snes/Mortal Kombat 3.save`
If you have been playing on the Genesis/Megadrive, the save will need to be moved to:
`/retrodeck/saves/genesis/Mortal Kombat 3.save`
**Example 2: Save states** <br
A save state from Street Fighter 2: `states/Street Fighter 2.savestate`
Two roms with the same name exist, one for the SNES and one for the Genesis/Megadrive:

Hello community!
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
# Status update 2023-04:
Controls, Controls, Controls!
Right now we are working on a huge overhaul of the Steam Deck's input profile for GameMode that should feature a more uniform hotkey configuration for version v0.7b across most emulators.
The team have painstakingly made a huge map (excel) with all the emulators hotkeys, how they can be mapped and in the end classified as important, semi-important och not important.
<!-- more -->
*The thoughts so far:*
* L4-L5 and R4-R5 (the back buttons) are used for various hotkey combos with the traditional buttons. We have to find a layout that feels right and it should allow us do a lot of hotkey binds.
* The left touchpad opens a radial menu with sub menus that gives you more quick access to less used and the frequently used hotkeys across all emulators.
* The right touchpad works as a mouse with left click (WiiMote games, Lightgun, navigate the emulators gui and other things)
There also will be a community feedback and test phase for the new inputs at a later date. We would love to hear your feedback!
*Note: You are not forced to use our profile, you can still make your own and rebind how you want.*
**Expose new folders for ease of access:**
For v0.7b we are going to make it easy to understand where to find the various gamelist.xml and where to put mods and textures. We are adding/exposing folders in the main `retrodeck` folder for ease of access. So you will find new folders for `gamelists` `mods` `textures`.
No more deep diving into various hidden folders of where to put your textures and mods in Citra for your favorite Zelda game!
Just put them in the corresponding mods or texture folder and you should be good to go.
**CEMU**
We are also trying to get CEMU inside the next version of v0.7b
**Trivia: Patch names**
We will also start with naming the big patches from v0.7b and forward.
So v0.7b will be called "**RetroDECK v0.7b - Amazing Aozora**".
It will go up one letter for each version so v0.8 will be a word combo that contains "B B" and v0.9 will be a combo with the letters "C C" and so forth.
**What else?**
There are a lot of other things in the pipeline as well for v0.7b. But we shall save those for a future update (when we have something to share and we don't want to spoil everything).

# Status update 2023-06:
With 0.7b and summer just around the corner we in the team thought this month we should focus more on a mix of topics.
<!-- more -->
### Read First – Important Changes in 0.7b!
* `PCSX2-SA` latest updates are not compatible with old save states. Please make sure you do an in-game save to your virtual memory card before upgrading.
* The following emulators have changed as the defaults and now run the stand-alone version: `Dolphin`, `Citra`, `PPSSPP`.If you have saves states or just want to go back to the `RetroArch` versions, you can always switch back by pressing: `Other Settings` – `Alternative Emulators` in the main interface and set them there.
* If you decide to install the new `RetroDECK Controller Layout` for the Steam Deck, it will wipe your custom configurations and emulator settings. That’s because all the configs need to be updated and changed to be compatible. The choice is yours (you can always install it later via the Configurator if you change your mind).
# What are the upsides of RetroDECKs all-in-one approach?
Quite many actually!
* RetroDECK is updated via standard secure update channels where you update all your other software (we will have an internal updater added in RetroDECK in 0.7b, so users don’t even need to go to the Discover app to update if they don’t want to).
* It allows us to apply the RetroDECK Framework on the bundled software and apply custom made specific patches for emulators or ES-DE (more on that later).
* We can optimize the data to take as little space as we possibly could. Our whole application in 0.7b is around 3GB. Since we are using a single package, ~~we can avoid a lot (but not all) of the overlap that takes up space when installing multiple AppImages or Flatpacks.~~ (Flatpak does an even greater job of deduplicating data see [**TiZ\_EX1**](https://www.reddit.com/user/TiZ_EX1/) comment in this thread!).
* We can expose various hidden/hard to find emulation features and allow the users to customize various experiences directly inside the application itself without needing to go into the Steam Deck’s desktop environment.
* We are leveraging the power of compiling these emulators ourselves (where possible) to make a more complete unified experience a reality with custom patches.
**What are the downsides of this approach?**
* You are bound to the software we ship inside our application and cannot add more things. But we are always open to suggestions on what to add next, just tell us on Github or Discord.
* *That said we are experimenting with allowing users to import certain emulators early access versions like Yuzu (but no solution in the short term).*
* Emulator updates need to be in point releases and not daily, since we can’t update emulators inside an existing flatpak. As we apply the RetroDECK Framework on top of the emulators, we sometimes need to do some tinkering before we can release a new version. But you can expect semi-frequent emulator-update point releases, historically we have been fast if we feel the need to get something out quickly. Major new updates that add features to the RetroDECK application itself will take more time.
* *There has been some issues with Yuzu in the past, but we have redone our entire Yuzu pipeline for 0.7b s it should allow for faster updates.*
# What is RetroDECK's vision and design philosophy?
* Valve endorsed the use of flatpaks as their preferred and safe way to distribute software on SteamOS’s immutable system. Many other immutable systems like Fedora Silverblue/Kionite and standard Linux distributions have also endorsed flatpaks. We also share the vision that flatpaks are the future for the Linux desktop and Linux based devices.
* Everything must be accessible from inside the application itself where possible. Once you launch RetroDECK, you should have all the tools you need to play games and configure the application. For the Steam Deck that means minimizing switching to desktop mode.
* We need to build a foundation that pushes emulation forward and expose more of the niche hardcore features in an easier way.
* We shall not be so bound by design choices that others have made but make our own path.
* We should ship the emulators with optimized settings for Steam Deck (later other devices) but also allow the users full control to create their own configs and make it easy to do so.
* We should do our best to respect user-made config changes where possible, even during the updates. Any forced changes should always be explained and give the users a prompt to accept them.
* We believe in a transparent open community: Dialog , user feedback and testing development versions will never be locked behind paywalls or subscription tiers . This comes from deep rooted beliefs in open-source freedom. Subscriptions and donations will always only grant cosmetics like a unique discord color.
* We want to make the emulation available for everyone; from the casual to the power user. Keep it simple, everything in one application and download it like any other software. Only one thing to update.
* Prioritize security and keep everything contained as much as possible.
**How does this vision effect design?**
A good example is the new exposure of `mods` and `texture_packs` under the retrodeck folder.
Before it was quite hard for users to add mods and texture packs into the emulators. No work for any other solution (that we are aware off) has been done to make this very hardcore thing more easy to handle.
For the user it means no more looking into hidden folders of when and where to put the files. Our new approach also has received the blessing of famous texture packs and mod pack creators out there that were happy that someone lowered the barrier.
So if you found it hard before to add:
* A magnificent texture pack for Citra
* A spooky HD pack for the Mesen Core
* New 3D polygon racing models for Mupen64Plus-Next Core
Just look our wiki under mods/texture packs and look forward to 0.7b.
[https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki)
Another example is (as others have done) move `gamelists` to under the retrodeck folder. This is a safer way of doing it and it's easier for the users to take backups.
**What to expect in the future?**
You can expect most of the standard stuff like that you can except from an emulation solution in the future:
* Cloud-sync
* USB and FTP file transfer
* External controller management
* Lightgun support
* Most of the supported ES-DE emulators
* Automatic Updates from Gamemode on Launch (0.7b it can be disabled in the Configurator)
* And more...
# What is the RetroDECK Framework?
This is the feature we have been building on since the beginning and the true hidden core of RetroDECK that we are unveiling for the first time today. It’s the foundation we have built over many months of hard work and will keep expanding on in every upcoming update.
The RetroDECK framework is a complete system that applies and adds features, fixes, structure and functions to all applications/data shipped within RetroDECK.
This is also one of the reasons we needed to restructure save file folders in the past updates as well.
**What does the RetroDECK Framework allow you to do?**
It allows us to ship deeper choices, customization, apply settings globally, create custom patches or functions and expose hidden settings to the front.
But what truly excites us in the team is the more advanced big features that we have not seen anyone else do on SteamOS or other operative systems.
**Some light examples in 0.7b of the framework is:**
* Move everything everywhere.
**Note:**
Please be careful when moving data to exotic locations don't be like Mr.Angry:
* Log in/logout/hardcore mode for RetroAchivements hardcore mode for all supported emulators.
* Apply Borders, Shaders and Widescreen mode per emulator / core or globally.
**Note:**
RetroDECK will offer full user choice and not a blanket all or nothing. You could have widescreen on one core while the others have borders.
**What are some advanced big examples that you could do with the Framework?**
Here is one example:
Think about configurations for emulators. How most other solutions are handling changes or updates is just a blanket call all-or-nothing. Either you accept the changes and remove everything you have done or keep your changes without getting the updates.
What we are building with the framework is a system to inject point changes into configurations.
*So instead of doing the crude way others are doing:*
Force replace in `config.xml` old with new `config.xml` yes or no?
***What our goal is and what we are building:***
Be able to open a `config.xml` inject the changed values across all those configs.
If an emulator updates and adds more config options, we can just add them without losing the rest of the user data.
So we can compare changes between the new `config.xml` and the old, then inject the changes.
*But if a emulator totally change how their configuration works and makes a whole new system from scratch (it does not happen often or at all) even we will be out of luck.*
So we hope in the future to be able to save even more custom configs even with the emulator updates. We also hope to make configuring emulators easier... more on that in a future development update after the summer.
**Another big example:**
If you read the recent article, we in the RetroDECK team are happy to unveil the `RetroDECK: Multiuser Mode`. This is only the first one of the big features we have planned for future updates and stands as an example of the complicated features we can accomplish. There is even more crazy stuff in development for the future big releases then this, so consider this a taste of things to come. It will not be ready for 0.7b but can be enabled with CLI commands for testing.
See the following Q&A:
# RetroDECK: Multiuser Mode Q&A
First read here:
[https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/How-can-I-help-with-testing%3F](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/How-can-I-help-with-testing%3F)
This is for testing only in 0.7b!
**What does Multiuser Mode mean?**
It creates a new directory structure `retrodeck/multi-user-data/<username>` and allows multiple users to use RetroDECK from one device.
**Wait... what.. how?! What about saves?! Configurations?! Custom settings?!**
They are all saved per user if you enable it. You, your sister, brother, child, husband, wife, dog, cat could all have their separate saves, states and custom emulator settings just for themselves when they select their own profile.
**Does it support the Steam Deck’s multiple users in Game Mode? Will RetroDECK hook those Steam Users into the enabled Multiuser system?**
Yes, that is the intent and should work, so you can log into your Steam Deck profile and have your RetroDECK saves/configs.
**What about a Linux Desktop PC that don't have Steam installed?**
We also support locally created “RetroDECK Users” so, for those Linux Desktop users in the future that don’t use Steam and just want RetroDECK on their device.
**What happens if I disable multiuser mode?**
You chose one profile as the primary user and the other data still exists under `retrodeck/multi-user-data/<username>`. No data is lost until you delete it manually.
**What happens if I re-enable multiuser mode?**
If you have had multiuser mode enabled and disable it, then re-enable it and have not deleted any `retrodeck/multi-user-data/` everything should work as it did before.
**Will there be an easy way transfer/export/import a user profile, like press a button and my can export to my profile (saves, configurations, with/without roms) to my friend's device on something like a USB or other media?**
Not for 0.7b but hopefully for the next major update 0.8b.
# Other things
**What does Amazing Aozora mean?**
Aozora is Japanese and means blue sky.
So, you could interpret the name as one team member:
*“Amazing blue skies... The first update that shows the exiting new horizon and the path we are heading towards.”*
Or as another:
*“Aozora is just a tiny Japanese banks name! This is clearly just an update to pay some of our dept to the community off! Stop with that horizon nonsense mumbo jumbo!”*
**What are some examples I can help out with with?**
**Artist/Creators:**
* Create new pixel art for the Radial menus.
* Create easter egg art for the new `easter egg system` for various holidays.
* Create menu art for a new Configurator.
* Create input art that can be shown when you start a game.
* Create input art guides for the wiki for the Steam Deck and later various controllers.
* Create patch note videos.
* Create instruction videos.
* Help us make RetroDECK better.
**Developers:**
* Help us put in new features.
* Help us make the configurator a godot application with full controller support.
* Help us get releases out faster.
* Help us make RetroDECK better.
**Testers:**
* Help us test cooker builds and submit bugs and feedback.
* Help us make RetroDECK better.
**Everyone:**
* Be kind and follow the rules.
* Spread the word of RetroDECK if you like it, if you don't like it or have suggestions put them on github into issues or discuss them on discord.
* Engage with the rest of the community.
* Help us make RetroDECK better.
**Summer Period**
As the summer period arrives there will be a holiday break on these kind of development posts until after the summer. Some parts of the team is also going on vacation, you can still except semi regular emulator updates and bug fixes as usual in 0.7.X releases (but no major 0.8b - Bonsai Banana version in the middle of the summer!).
**End Quote**
*We hope you are excited about these features and our vision as we are and we want to get 0.7b out to you as quickly as possible (hopefully next week).*
*We also wish everyone a happy and good summer!*

Hello community!
As we just recently got co-ownership this subreddit (thus making this our official subreddit).
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
# Status update 2023-03:
First of we are working out some bugs and issues with Duckstation and Primehack, the later will have a totally from the ground up redone configuration for a more optimized experience.
<!-- more -->
RetroDECK is also moving to another cloud provider for our buildserver and website, sponsored by one generous community member (THANKS!).
Another recent breakthrough was getting chdman the compression tool for disc based games running inside a flatpak (sandbox environment). It should be accessible later in a future version via CLI and we will check if it's possible to a build in GUI for it later in the future.
Also the work to add borders into the emulators that support it has also begun and we are targeting the next major version.
There are some experimenting with ES-DE 2.0 and the new theme engine.
We are also trying to do a totally new universal and uniform controller profile for the Steam Deck that should work for all the emulators (fingers crossed).
There are a lot of other things in the pipeline as well. But we shall save those for a future update (when we have something to share).
If you want to help with out with the project or just chat join the discord.

Hello community!
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
**NOTE: This is still work in progress**
# Status update 2023-05:
*Controls for everything everywhere all at once.*
As a continuation of last months post, some parts of the team have been working on hotkeys and controls (in fact since October 2022 [GitHub: Issue 194](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/194)).
<!-- more -->
*This is only one part of the 0.7b update.*
**We set out the following goals for the project for a new Steam Deck layout profile:**
* The layout needs to be scalable and adapt for new emulators in the future without adding too much clutter.
* The layout needs to be scalable when a emulator updates and supports new hotkeys.
* The layout should when possible have the ability to hook as many hotkeys into the same input that represents the same function across all emulators.
* The layout need to be unified and support players dynamic playstyles to hop between emulators and games in one gaming session. A player could start RetroDECK: Play a little Switch then quit Yuzu, go directly to PPSSPP and play some PSP then end up in RetroArch to play SNES before the session is over.
**That boiled down into the following points to work on:**
* Check every hotkey that exists in every emulator and how they work.
* Check if some hotkeys are hardbound (none rebind-able) and see if those can be worked into the over all structure of all other emulators.
* Check what rules the hotkeys of each emulator have to bind them (single button only, only keyboard inputs, only gamepad inputs etc..).
* From the result above: Decide and prioritize what hotkeys are so important they need a physical button combo. What hotkeys are "semi-important / good to have" and can live in a radial menu. Decide what not hotkeys not to bind at all.
**Results so far:**
*NOTE: Not all functions are supported in all emulators, but they will be added in as soon as they do support them.*
**Physical button combo input**
* The standard RetroArch = Start + Select to Quit and L3 + R3 for Open Menu is still there for RetroArch.
* The L4 and R4 buttons changes the layout when hold down and allows button combinations with those buttons, example: "L4 or R4 + R1" = Save State and "L4 or R4 + L1" = Load State. It allows for quick access to the following functions with just button presses:
* Save state
* Load state
* Exit/Quit Emulator
* Fullscreen On/Off
* Fullscreen Off - (NOTE: Some emulators don't have toggle and have a separated on / off hotkeys)
* Fast forward
* Rewind
* Pause/Resume
* Open Menu
* Select Previous State Slot

Hello community!
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
If you don’t know what RetroDECK is or want more information check out the wiki.
# Status update 2023-11:
It is the end of November and we want to give you a status update on how things are going with RetroDECK. First off development is going steady, and we have a lot of features in the pipeline but also some IRL things that slow us down a bit (work, new baby etc…). But let us talk about what we are working on and answer some questions.
<!-- more -->
**Note:**
Most listed here are subject to change and is just an outline of what we are working on right now. Not all of these features will be a part of 0.8b and we are also working on even more stuff than what we are showing in this post.
##
## Question: How do I move RetroDECK to a new device?
You can find a detailed step-for-step guide here for both Linux Desktop and Steam Deck:
[How to: Move RetroDECK](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/How-to%3A-Move-RetroDECK-to-a-new-device)
**For a ultra-quick guide:**
* Just copy the \~/retrodeck folder to the new device to the location you want it.
* Install RetroDECK on the new device and point to it the new location of \~/retrodeck during first setup:
* If you put it on the internal drive – choose that option
* If you put it on the sd card – choose that option.
* If you put it in a custom location – choose that option.
* Then proceed installation as normal.
# What are you working on?
## New Emulators/Systems
We will be trying to include all of these in the next big update 0.8b
* OpenBOR
* IkemenGO (M.U.G.E.N)
* Solarus
* MAME (Standalone)
* Ryujinx
* SCUMMVM (Standalone)
* Vita3K
* GZDoom (Standalone)
We have worked with several of the development teams of the emulators to add various functions we could use and improve the emulators for everyone regardless of whether you use RetroDECK or not. They have also worked with us to help us integrate into RetroDECK better. We want to give special thanks to the Vita3K Team and Ryujinx Team.
## New Feature: Yuzu (Custom)
Yuzu (Custom) is something we are working on for those that want to use the Early Access version of Yuzu. So, you will get the ability to run the EA .appimage version from inside RetroDECK in some fashion.
But the downside is that it will not fully hook into the RetroDECK Framework, so you will need to configure things like input manually the first time you run it. But the goal is you can select it in the alternative emulator selector in ES-DE and pick Yuzu (Custom) from the list.
## New Feature: Steam Flatpak version support
We have gotten feedback that users want us to support the Steam Flatpak version and are trying to make it happen. Examples of features that need to work are the “Controller Profiles”, “Add RetroDECK to Steam” and the “Add games to Steam” function. We are still not sure if everything will work as intended in the Flatpak version of Steam.
If you for some reason have both normal Steam and flatpak Steam installed on the same system. The none flatpak version will take preference over the flatpak version (this is also how projects like Lutris do things).
But running a flatpak within a flatpak is something the users will need to think about.If the users want RetroDECK and other flatpaks to run from Steam they will need to open the permissions in the sandbox from either terminal or Flatseal. This does open the sandbox more than the standard configuration that Steam comes with as default.
## New Feature: SFTP
We are looking into letting users enabling SFTP transfers for easy transfers of files (roms, saves etc…).
## New Feature: Cloud Sync
We have done some work cloud sync both live sync and backup to various cloud services. But nothing to show just yet.
## New Feature: USB Transfer / Backups
Like SFPT, Cloud Sync above will be another way to export import files but via USB.
## Status update: External Controllers & Inputs
* PS3
* PS4
* PS5
* Xbox360
* Xbox One / S / X
* Switch Pro
* Steam Controller
* Generic
All standard type controllers supported by Steam Input will work with the normal global hotkeys. We are also changing the layout so that you have even more hotkeys.
If you want to try them right now, you can do that by going into the following github issue and follow the instructions over there (they also work on current stable, just extract the zipfile in the correct folder and enjoy):
[Github Issue with Download](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/573)
## Status update: Multiuser mode
We are still working on it with all the complexity. The goal is to support both Steam users from the Steam Deck and local RetroDECK users for desktop users. It does “work” right now in our cooker builds, but it still needs more time in the oven. There are a lot of variables to account for before we feel ready to ship it to everyone.
## Status update: Adding RetroDECK games as Steam Entries
We are still working on it and have it working on our cooker builds. But we are still trying to get it to work on the Steam Flatpak version. There are also some other ideas we want to try to make it even better, but more of them if we can make them happen in a later development update.
## Status update: Configurator GODOT version
The work is ongoing and not something that will be part of 0.8b. We have general plans for the GUI and internal versions we can play with. But the goal stays the same replace the entire configurator with a nice GODOT controller navigational interface and replace all the Zenity windows with it.
## Status update: Mascot
After the last development update, we got connected with Tyson Tan the artist behind both the KDE and Krita mascots. We are hopeful we can work something out together.
# That is all for now!
Also there will be no December update post thanks to the upcoming holidays!
To everyone out there in our community, we want to wish you a festive holiday period and a Happy New Year.
**Want to contribute to RetroDECK?**
We are always looking for more people to help us with the project.

Hello community!
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
# Status update 2023-10:
We hope that everyone is ready for a tiny spooky October status update.
<!-- more -->
## We begin with thanking all kind emulator developers.
We had some issues with certain emulators caused by the recent QT6 migration and the addition of new emulators (more on that next month).
We tried to contact those developers to request for help or a hint about their project and thankfully they were very collaborative towards us, in some cases making some code changes to accustom some specific RetroDECK needing and thanking us for our work.
It seems like that RetroDECK got a good reputation out there and we're really thankful for this, as one of our main efforts is trying to contribute more good will into the emulation community.
This is what makes the emulation community great when we all can work together. If you need something from us, feel free to ask.
Thank you all!
## What are you working on?
## Adding individual ROMS to Steam and launch them with RetroDECK
More development has been going on into this and how it will work in its first iteration is that the games you flag as your favorites can be added to Steam with a tool in the Configurator.
## External Controllers – Button Combo Hotkeys
We will ship various Steam Input templates that allows you to use the button bound hotkey combos to do various emulator functions like (Save State, Load State, Quit etc..) for a variety of controllers from 0.8b. All you will need to is plug in / connect your controller, go into Steam Controller setting and choose the RetroDECK template for your controller.
This will also work for the RetroDECK Linux Desktop users as long as you have added RetroDECK to Steam and launch it from there.
It will be the same button combos as the Steam Deck with \`Select\` as the trigger but with \*\*no radial menu system\*\*.
We will have templates for all the following:
* PS3
* PS4
* PS5
* Xbox 360
* Xbox One / S / X
* Switch Pro
* Steam Controller
* Generic (Stadia, 8bit, Xiaomi, USB-Clones, others etc..)
**Special notes on Generic:**
To access all the hotkeys, you must have a controller that has all the normal inputs (two joysticks with clickable L3 and R3, four button dpad, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, start, and select).
But if you have start and select you can always quit the game (even with a tiny NES USB clone controller).
**Special notes on PS4, PS5:**
The full touchpad acts as a mouse for Wii input / computer systems.
Left touchpad click = left click
Right touchpad click = right click
**Special notes on the Steam Controller:**
The right touchpad acts as a mouse for Wii input / computer systems.
Right touchpad click = left click
## Turning the Configurator into a Godot application
We are working on turning the configurator into a Godot application. This will allow you to use all the functions with a controller in a Retro Inspired interface that is already working. The interface should be scalable for both TV’s, Monitors and Steam Deck Screen. We are also looking into changing toggle the font to OpenDyslexic so it can be easier to read for those who need it. This might not be done for 0.8b as it’s quite a big project (it will ready when it’s ready).
If you are working with UI/UX design and/or have experience with Godot and want to help on this, please contact us on discord.
## Rekku, the RetroDECK mascot.
Some parts of the team also really wanted a mascot so that will also be a part of the new Configurator. It’s a animated cyborg-cat-like-humanoid that guides you to the various functions in the Configurator. Right now, we only have AI generated concepts of the mascot for reference but if you are an artist and want to help us design the mascot, please contact us on discord.
**Mascot Q/A:**
Q: I get the Godot Configurator, but why a mascot?!
A: Why not?!
Q: Will we see Rekku in other things except the Configurator?
A: Maybe!
Q: I hate mascots with a burning passion, can I turn it off in the configurator?
A: You’re a meanie, but yes!
## That is all for this month!
A minor patch 0.7.3b will be out later with Emulator updates. But the main feature will be ES-DE 2.2, so we will release it when the ES-DE team are ready, and we can implement it asap.

Hello community!
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.
# Status update 2023-09:
We hope that everyone had a good summer and that you are ready for a tiny status update with a plethora of mixed topics.
But before we get into what we are working on we want to make a short statement.
<!-- more -->
# Our commitment to Open-Source
>As the RetroDECK team, we are deeply concerned by the rumors about how others have handled their dependencies and their relationship with those developers.
>
>We would like to say this:
>
>Emulation is a multigenerational effort of development that has lasted for decades, motivated by the pure love for video game preservation for current and future generations. RetroDECK depends on the constant development of all our dependencies (the emulators, front-end, various assets, etc...). It would be unfair to both the hard work that has been done in those projects and to the entire open-source community if we said otherwise or tried to take credit, conceal, or obscure it for our own gain.
>
>We always strive to have the best possible relationship with the teams that generously provide and develop the third-party software we are depending on now and in the future. Everyone that works on RetroDECK is immensely grateful for the global collective effort and work that has been done. Without these projects and those passionate people RetroDECK would not be possible.
>
>We also want to add a word for the developers of the third-party projects:
>
>Please feel free to reach out to us, talk to us for any reason and share your ideas. We value your feedback and suggestions, and our door is always open for collaboration and improvements. You are the backbone of our project, and we appreciate your contributions.
>
>You can find more about our dependencies on the wiki and how to donate to them or us:

# Now on to the new stuff:
**Two new developers and one tester have joined the team**
We are incredibly happy that three new members have decided to join us. All of them have been active in their contributions and helping the community. They bring exciting innovative ideas and skillsets to the project.
**Adding individual ROMS to Steam and launch them with RetroDECK**
One of our new developers is looking into adding individual ROMS to Steam and hopes to have this done for the next big major release 0.8b - Bonsai Banana. This will allow you to list the ROMS you want as a separate game in the Steam interface and thus have different power profiles for each game.
It is something many of you have requested and given feedback about.
**Dynamic viewports / scaling system**
Another new developer is looking into making a dynamic scaling / viewport system for the various emulators and cores to match the borders and resolutions to the most common screen types. \\
This would allow better desktop screen support and better handling on undocked / docked Steam Deck resolutions.
The goal is simple but complex:
The borders and scale of the games should look nice and proper on your external screen when you plug in your movable device.
**Better external controller hotkey support**
As part of the Controller Unification Project and with the addition of the \`SELECT\` button as a hotkey trigger in 0.7.1b. We now have a better understanding of Steam Input’s controller template system and should be able to make a template for common external controllers with the button bound hotkeys combos that use \`SELECT\` as the trigger.
However, the entire radial menu system is a bit harder as many controllers do not have touch input or a logical and comfortable way to navigate it. We will investigate if it is feasible to port the radial system to controllers with touch and those without.
**Status on the Multi-user system**
We are still working hard on the Multi-user system, but it might not be ready for 0.8b as we had hoped. There are tons of complexity, and we want to make it right. Some parts of the development team have other IRL priorities that take preset over RetroDECK development (new baby incoming and fatherly duties).
**That is all for this month**
A minor patch 0.7.2b will be out soon with a emulator update refresh and some bug fixes.
See you next month.

# The Pizza War
Who will prevail?
## The Italian Pizza Legion - IPL
Conservative purists of pure Italian Pizza Force.
*"Pizza is Italian and everything else is a facsimile, a mockery of Italian perfection. Our mothers and fathers gave everything for the purity of the Napoletana and so shall you!"*.
## The Murican Cheese Crust Patriots - MCCP
Patriotic Americans that try to crush the opposition with infinite pepperoni and cheese.
*"The Italian American imigrants took Pizza to the US and made it better thanks to freedom. Are we not free to put as much pepperoni as we want? How about Mozzarella or bread sticks is there a upper limit? We say no there is not! The symbol of new found freedom of the Italian Americans is not the cheese filled crusts? All of these inovations where made thanks to being free."*.
## The Nordic Pizza Cult - NPC
Label as Heretics by the others for their dark pizza magicks.
*"The Italians and Americans are weak, the don't dare to take Pizza beyond their set fake borders and rules. Here in the cold north we have learned and now know the truth... there is no borders. Pizza is an empty canvas, it can be painted in to what ever chaotic image of food perfection we desire!"*.

# RetroDECK ‐ Story & Philosophy
## How RetroDECK was born?
Let's take a step back.
RetroDECK was born on March 4th 2022 in Kyoto, Japan, with the name of [351EDECK](https://imgur.com/a/tGC9ZGO) because I am also one of the founding members of 351ELEC, now [AmberELEC](https://amberelec.org/).
What I wanted to do was to "port" 351ELEC to the Steam Deck, but instead of doing a custom firmware to flash, doing it as an application that could be launched from Steam.
Eventually, after talking to the other team members, we decided that we didn't want to support another platform such as Steam Deck, so I decided to continue the project on my own, renaming it to RetroDECK.
Back then I had many options on how to create 351EDECK, such as a bash script, appimage and flatpak.
In the beginning I opted for a simple shell script, in fact RetroDECK/351EDECK v0.1a existed as a mere shell script.
However I had bad feedbacks from the community because someone was feeling unsafe to give my script the root privileges so evaluating the Steam Deck use case I felt like it was not the right direction to take, the people was not feeling comfortable to give the sudo to a random script downloaded from the internet, so they asked to packetize it in some way.
Valve suggests the flatpak technology to port the applications on Steam Deck so, I decided to follow their guidelines, and I created the RetroDECK that you know today, starting from a Manjaro virtual machine as a development environment because I didn't have a Steam Deck yet.
// Xargon
## What is RetroDECK's philosophy?
Emulation is a global multi-generational effort of development that has lasted for decades, motivated by the pure love for video game preservation for current and future generations. RetroDECK depends on the constant development of all our dependencies (the emulators, front-end, various assets, etc…). It would be unfair to both the hard work that has been done in those projects and to the entire open-source community if we said otherwise or tried to take credit, conceal, or obscure it for our own gain.
We always strive to have the best possible relationship with the teams that generously provide and develop the third-party software we are depending on now and in the future. Everyone that works on RetroDECK is immensely grateful for the global collective effort and work that has been done. Without these projects and those passionate people RetroDECK would not be possible.
We also want to add a word for the developers of the third-party projects: Please feel free to reach out to us, talk to us for any reason and share your ideas. We value your feedback and suggestions, and our door is always open for collaboration and improvements. You are the backbone of our project, and we appreciate your contributions.
You can find more about our dependencies on the wiki and how to donate to them or us under the donations page on this wiki.

# Inspiration for RetroDECK and goals
RetroDECK is inspired by embedded emulation systems like:
- AmberELEC
- EmuELEC
- CoreELEC
- Lakka
- Batocera
The RetroDECK team consists of several veterans from some of the projects mentioned above as well as a bunch of other talented other individuals.
# What are the long term vision and goals of the RetroDECK project?
The long term vision and goals of the project is an all-in-one application to manage your entire retro games library that is:
- Already configured and should just work with your games.
- Has disaster recovery and multi device support: with cloud saves and syncs.
- Easy to install with one click installation.
- Easy to use and provide a "Console-like / Batocera-like" featured user experience.
- Easy to manage your collections of roms, mods and romhacks.
- As much as possible should be configurable from inside RetroDECK itself without needing to exiting the application.
- Make tighter integrations with bundled emulators and expose more features and ways to handle them to the end users.
- Should be secure, safe, and stable.
- Should have an easy way to mange external controllers and other inputs.
- Should support a majority of all supported Emulators in ES-DE, so at least you have one good option per system.
- Should in the long run support applications outside of the scope of ES-DE via a ports manager.
- Should be plug and play and fill the need for a portable retro gaming solution that you can bring on the go to a friend’s/family/others house. Just dock into the TV and get going!
- Should fully support Steam Deck, Linux Desktop, other SteamOS or Linux based devices.
- AND MORE

# Known issues
What follows is a list of knows issues.
For a list of reported bugs please check here on github: [RetroDECK issues](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/)
## Big issues
- NONE Reported
## Minor issues
- `PPSSPP` Retroachievements is in the latest version, you can login / logout / enable hardcore mode normally from the emulators interface. It is right now not configurable in the Configurator (as it works a bit different the other emulators), we hope to have a solution for it at a later date.
- `RetroArch: Gambatte` Quitting the core with the `Quit` radial function makes the core swap the palette while playing GB.
- `RetroArch` Borders are in some few cases disappearing in the latest RetroArch version. A possible workaround is to reset RetroArch from the Configurator.
## Hotkey and Controller Issues
**Not all Emulators has hotkey support; some have partial support, some has none and some has a majority implemented**
The plan is to map as much as we can into the RetroDECK Hotkey System below. We are also patching in Emulator Hotkeys with the `RetroDECK Framework` (if possible) to be compatible with the system. If a emulators later versions adds better hotkey support we plan to map it towards the same functions bellow for a unified experience across as many emulators as possible.
### Emulator Issues
* `PPSSPP` has a bug in with multi-input hotkeys in their flatpak version, so we did a workaround and bound ESC is Open Menu. This allows you to access all of the emulator features and can quit.
* `RPCS3` hotkeys/shortcuts do not work and they are a new experimental feature. To exit you have to shut down RPCS3 from the `Switch Window` inside the Steam Deck interface.
* `CEMU` has almost no hotkey support.
* `XEMU` has no hotkey support.
* `Citra` is the only dual-screen emulator that allows a hotkey for changing the screen layout, others: `MelonDS`, `RetroArch`, `Cemu` has no hotkey for it.
# Missing Features
We are working on implementing all of these features over the big releases. Some will take longer time then others and we will also add more things to this list when needed.
**Missing features:**
* Cloud sync
* USB transfer
* STFP
* Better External controller support.
* Better gyro support.
* Dynamic external display resolution support for borders and viewports.
* All Emulators supported by ES-DE so there at least is one per system in RetroDECK.
* A Ports Downloader for additional systems and features.
* A rebuilt Configurator that is a Godot application that support controller navigation.
* A rebuilt First Run installer in Godot.
* Better art: Mascot, Easter Eggs, Logos.
* A multi-user system with user profiles.

# Steam Input
RetroDECK handles most of the advanced controller mapping via Steam Input.
## All controls in Steam Input and RetroDECK can be changed
Everyone is free to rebind the buttons as you see fit in the any of the RetroDECK's Steam Input profiles, inside the emulators or both.
You can make your own profile to better suite your needs and combine it with input changes you make in each emulator.
But always remember if you rebind the keys inside RetroDECK in both Steam Input and the Emulators there will always be a risk that an upcoming update of either Steam or RetroDECK (thus including new versions of the built in Emulators) can come with changes that breaks your profiles.
Also note that if you break your controller profile with your tinkering you can always revert to the Official Controller Profiles or reinstall them from the Configurator.
## Prerequisites for Steam Input work
### RetroDECK must be added to Steam
In Steam go to the tab `Games` press `Add non Steam game to My library` and select RetroDECK to add it into your library or add it via the software `BoilR`.
### Device templates like Steam Deck
Devices like the Steam Deck with a built-in controller you will be able to find the profile under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates`.
### Connect the external controller to find the templates for them
If you plan on using external controllers, you need to have the controller connected via either: `Cable` `Bluetooth` `Wireless` for the controller profile to show up automatically. You will find the profile under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates`.
### The following only applies to Linux Desktop:
**You must have enable all Steam Inputs in Steam** <br>
In Steam go to the `Settings` tab to go into the `Steam Settings`, press `Controller`, enable all Steam Inputs: `Xbox` `PlayStation` `Switch Pro` `Generic`.

# About udev
udev is a device manager for the Linux kernel that gives the system access to various running hardware via device `.rules` files also known as `udev rules`.
udev rules are used to allow and manage the access to a specific devices, so without a proper udev rule some devices such as custom controller could not be used by RetroDECK nor by Steam or any other part of the system.
Read more on:
- [Debian Wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/udev)
- [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/udev)
- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev)
## Important directories
### /lib/udev/rules.d/
This directory contains the default `.rules file` shipped by your system. <br>
They should not be edited.
### /etc/udev/rules.d/ or /run/udev/rules.d (depending on the system)
This directory contains custom `.rules file` additions to those shipped in `/lib/udev/rules.d/` and the administrator can add more rules into this directory.
If a `.rules file` exist for the same device under `/lib/udev/rules.d/` and `/etc/udev/rules.d/` the `/etc` version will always take preset over the `lib` version.
## Example of a .rules file
The content of a Merlin UTMS modem .rules file.
```
ATTRS{prod_id2}=="Merlin UMTS Modem", ATTRS{prod_id1}=="Novatel Wireless", SYMLINK+="MerlinUMTS"
```
A .rules file can also contain more the one devices example multiple 8Bitdo controllers:
```
# 8Bitdo F30 P1
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8Bitdo FC30 GamePad", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1", TAG+="uaccess"
# 8Bitdo F30 P2
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8Bitdo FC30 II", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1", TAG+="uaccess"
```
## Controller udev projects
**Valve's - Steam Devices**
[steam-devices github](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices)
The Steam Devices package is usually installed when you install Steam on your system, it contains rules for the most common controllers.<br>
This package is also part of SteamOS so there is no need to install it on the Steam Deck. <br>
**Game Devices udev**
[game-devices-udev codeberg](https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev)
The Game Devices udev project is an effort to combine all game devices into one package but it is still early and several are missing. <br>
**Batocera udev**
[Batocera - Controllers github](https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/tree/master/package/batocera/controllers)
The Batocera project has also combined a list of other controllers that might be missing from the two projects above.
## Quick tips on udev installation
### Administrator sudo access is needed
Installing a udev rule needs administrator root access with sudo and the rules should be put in either the `/etc/udev/rules.d/` or `/run/udev/rules.d` example from above.
- You can copy the `.rules` from terminal into the directory either from terminal or with a file browser.
- The rules should be in the `.rules` file format and should be extracted from any `.zip` `.7z` `.tar` or any other compressed format.
### Reboot or reload rules
After a rule is added you will need to either reload the `udevadm` from terminal by issuing the following command: `sudo udevadm control --reload-rules` or just reboot the system.
- The udev rule should be added when the RetroDECK or any other software that you want access to the device is not running.
### SteamOS or immutable systems
For SteamOS or other immutable systems udev rules might or might not persistent persist over SteamOS updates (we can't say for certain).

# Adaptive Controllers
Adaptive Controllers is a small category of specialized controllers that are designed to primarily to meet the needs of gamers with limited mobility.
They can be customized to fit the players needs with swapable inputs from various sources controlled by the main hub of the adaptive controller.
You can also sometimes expand to more inputs as well by connecting other controller types like a Flight Stick.
## Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC)
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/xbox-adaptive.png" width="250">
[Microsoft XAC Website](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller)
> When everybody plays, we all win.
### The xone Project
[The xone Project](https://github.com/medusalix/xone) <br>
Has firmwares, udev rules and drivers might be needed to get it to run on your distribution to get the wireless connections working.
### How to configure?
The Linux Kernel has had XAC support since version 3.17.<br>
As the XAC outputs standard xinput we don't see any reason why this should not work with RetroDECK.
None on the RetroDECK Team owns a XAC, but we would love to hear from your experiences using it with RetroDECK. <br>
If there is something we in the team can help you with, maybe we can design a better general Steam Input profile for the XAC or any other feedback feel free to contact us on Discord.

# Arcade Controllers
Arcade Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of third party controllers that are used for playing arcade games, arcade style games or fighting games. <br>
As long as you can connect the arcade solution to USB, it has working udev/drivers and xinput then it should work with RetroDECK.
**Always check for Linux Support**<br>
Just to be safe, it is better before you buy anything to double check if there is Linux support for it.
Wireless Fight Sticks can be a hit or miss depending on if they require external configuration software.
## Fight Sticks
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/arcade-ps3.png" width="250">
Many USB Fight Sticks work nativly on Linux without much of a configuration. There might be need for a slight input remapping if they are a console version of a Fight Stick.
## Fight Stick 2 Player Combo
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/arcade-x-arcade.png" width="250">
Several suppliers have made Two Player Fight Sticks Solutions for versus and co-op gameplay.
## Arcade Machines - DIY
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/arcade-set.png" width="250">
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/arcade-trackball.png" width="250">
There are several predone kits to make your own PC connected Arcade Machine. <br>
They a majorty of them use a standard USB interface to connect to the PC and many times the same connector board as in the standalone Fight Sticks while the trackballs has a seperate USB connection that simulates a mouse.
There should not be any major issues connecting these with RetroDECK except maybe a controller remapping.

# Flight Controllers
Flight Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of third party controllers that are used for playing games where you are flying airplanes or other things as magic carpets. <br>
Some of them might lack Linux drivers or udev rules entirely with others there is a community effort to make them work under Linux.<br>
A few of them also require Windows only software to configure various inputs and buttons.<br>
If you own a Flight Controller the best solution is just to try it on Linux via the Steam Deck Dock or a Linux PC and see if it works as expected.<br>
If it does work on Linux and it supports xinput, we see no reason why it should not work on RetroDECK.
If you have a Flight Controller that did not work on Linux but have found a way to make it work:<br>
- Please try to contribute udev rules to the [game-devices-udev codeberg](https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev)
- (Optional) Inform the RetroDECK team on how you got it working on discord.
**Always check for Linux Support**<br>
Just to be safe, it is better before you buy anything to double check if there is Linux support for it.

# Racing Controllers
Racing Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of third and first party controllers that has everything to do with racing games.
Some of them might lack Linux drivers or udev rules entirely with others there is a community effort to make them work under Linux.<br>
A few of them also require Windows only software to configure various inputs and buttons.<br>
If you own a Racing Controller the best solution is just to try it on Linux via the Steam Deck Dock or a Linux PC and see if it works as expected.<br>
If it does work on Linux and it supports xinput, we see no reason why it should not work on RetroDECK.
If you have a Flight Controller that did not work on Linux but have found a way to make it work:<br>
- Contribute udev rules to the [game-devices-udev codeberg](https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev)
- Contribute to the Oversteer project
- (Optional) Inform the RetroDECK team on how you got it working on discord.
**Oversteer**
The [OverSteer Project](https://github.com/berarma/oversteer) is trying to manage support multiple Steering Wheels on Linux. It is still in the early stages of development.
Oversteer manages steering wheels on Linux using the features provided by the loaded modules.
It doesn't provide hardware support, you'll still need a driver module that enables the hardware on Linux.
Most wheels will work but won't have FFB without specific drivers that support that feature.
## Steering Wheels, Pedals and Gear Shifters

- Steering Wheel
- Pedals
- Gear Shifter
All of them needs seperate driver modules and udev rules to work.

# Special Controllers
Special Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of third and first party controllers that don't fit anywhere else. <br>
They might have been made for a single game.
## The Steel Battalion Cockpit
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/steel-battalion.png" width="250">
The unique cockpit controller for the original Xbox game Steel Battalion.
### How to use with RetroDECK or a PC or anything else?
There have been efforts by user SantiagoSaldana of hackaday.io to get it working on PCs via a Teensy 3.6 / 4.1 Arduino Adapter.
It translates the controllers input to emulated xinput. You can read more about the project here:
[Hackady.io Project Thread](https://hackaday.io/project/182810-steel-battalion-controller-teensy-adapter)
[Github Steel Battalion Controller Library for Arduino](https://github.com/SantiagoSaldana/SBC)
If you have this rare controller and want to try to get it running by the above methods on Linux and RetroDECK please contact the RetroDECK team on discord to inform on your efforts we will follow them with great intrest.

# Toys-to-life Controllers
Toys-to-life Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of mostly first party controllers that are used to connect collectable toys figures that can via the controller interact with the game.
## LEGO Dimensions
### LEGO ToyPad
<img src="../../wiki_images/controllers/lego-toypad.png" width="250">
#### Installing the Toypad
This controller needs to set a system's udev rule, just execute this in the terminal:
```bash
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0e6f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0241", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/71-toypad.rules > /dev/null
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
```
#### What emulator support the Toypad?
At the moment of writing the best way to play LEGO Dimensions with the LEGO Toypad is to use the PS3 version and the RPCS3 emulator.
Just connect the ToyPad to a USB port before starting the game.
**Special Notes on the Steam Deck**
The ToyPad must be connected to an powered USB-hub such as the a USB port of the Steam Dock. <br>
Directly connecting the ToyPad to the Steam Deck it's not working as the Steam Deck can not give the ToyPad enought power output.
## Skylanders

# General information
[I see SA refereed in documentation about emulators what does it mean?](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/FAQs%3A-Frequently-asked-questions#i-see-sa-refereed-in-documentation-about-emulators-what-does-it-mean)
## Different controller layouts in games
### Xbox layout - Steam Deck
The Steam Deck uses the Xbox button layout as it's physical buttons.
**Steam Deck/Xbox button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `Y` |
| Left | `X` |
| Right | `B` |
| Bottom | `A` |
### Nintendo Layout
Nintendo systems uses the Nintendo layout in game where both the Y-X and A-B buttons have switched places with each other from the Steam Decks physical button layout. You can enable a mode that switches the Y-X and A-B buttons for supported Emulators inside the `RetroDECK Configurator`.
<br>
**Nintendo - button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `X` |
| Left | `Y` |
| Right | `A` |
| Bottom | `B` |
# RetroDECK: Steam Deck - Official Layout
**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a Nintendo game that calls for the button A to be pressed it corresponds to the right button on the Steam Deck so button B.
<img src="../../wiki_images/graphics/steamdeck/rd_sd_screen1.jpeg" width="350">
### Sony PlayStation Layout
The Sony PlayStation uses it's icon glyphs to represent it's buttons.
### What's the latest version of the Steam Deck layout?
**Sony PlayStation - button layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |
| :--- | :---: |
| Top | `Triangle` |
| Left | `Square` |
| Right | `Circle` |
| Bottom | `X` |
**0.7.1b**
**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a PlayStation game that calls for the button Triangle to be pressed it corresponds to the top button on the Steam Deck so button Y.
The layout versioning do not always update with each minor patch. <br>
Generally only the major versions comes with profile changes.
**Regional differences:**
Depending on the region of your Playstation game, the buttons `Circle` and `X` switches the meaning for confirm and cancel (they are still at the same physical location). But it is good to keep in mind if you are used to exiting out of menus with a certain button and wondering why it works in some games while others not.
**Example:**
In the EU/US `X` is confirm while in Japan `X` is cancel.

[Steam Deck Controller Guide - A Visual Introduction](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2804823261)
# RetroDECK Official Controller Layout: Hotkeys:
### Current version of the layout
0.7.1b that is written on this wiki
## Information
## Enable the Layout
Be sure to have the `RetroDECK: Official Controller Layout` activated from the `Templates`.
- Add the Official Layout under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates` in the Steam Deck called `RetroDECK: Official Layout` with a version number and apply
Read more on <br>[[Steam Deck: Installation and updates]]
## Everything is customizable
You are free to rebind the keys as you see fit in the RetroDECK: Official Layout profile and make your own to better suit your needs. <br>
But if you rebind the keys inside RetroDECK there can be a risk that an upcoming update will revert your changes if the emulators made changes to the keybindings for the hotkeys. <br>
Also note that if you break your controller profile with your tinkering please revert the RetroDECK's official profile.
## 🚧 Please READ: 🚧
**Not all Emulators has hotkey support; some have partial support, some has none and some has a majority implemented**
The plan is to map as much as we can into the RetroDECK Hotkey System below. We are also patching in Emulator Hotkeys with the `RetroDECK Framework` (if possible) to be compatible with the system. If a emulators later versions adds better hotkey support we plan to map it towards the same functions bellow for a unified experience across as many emulators as possible.
### Known issues
* `PPSSPP` has a bug in with multi-input hotkeys in their flatpak version, so we did a workaround and bound ESC is Open Menu. This allows you to access all of the emulator features and can quit.
* `RPCS3` hotkeys/shortcuts do not work and they are a new experimental feature. To exit you have to shut down RPCS3 from the `Switch Window` inside the Steam Deck interface.
* `CEMU` has almost no hotkey support.
* `XEMU` has no hotkey support.
* `Citra` is the only dual-screen emulator that allows a hotkey for changing the screen layout, others: `MelonDS`, `RetroArch`, `Cemu` has no hotkey for it.
- Add the Official Layout under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates` in the Steam Deck called `RetroDECK: Official Layout` with a version number and apply.

# Different button prompts in games
Depending on what system you are playing the button prompt inputs might not correspond to the one you have on your physical controller or device you have in your hand.
## Xbox Games
The Xbox layout is used by `Xbox Controllers`.<br>
Is also used by devices like the `Steam Deck` `Rog Alley`.<br>
It is used by a lot of `Genric` third party `PC controllers` and `Xbox Clone Controllers`.
**Xbox - Button Layout:**<br>
| Button Placement | Button |Name |
| :--- | :---: |:---: |
| North | <img src="../../wiki_icons/kenneynl-input-pixel16×/tile_0007.png" width="30"> |Y |
| West | <img src="../../wiki_icons/kenneynl-input-pixel16×/tile_0006.png" width="30"> |X |
| East | <img src="../../wiki_icons/kenneynl-input-pixel16×/tile_0005.png" width="30"> |B |
| South | <img src="../../wiki_icons/kenneynl-input-pixel16×/tile_0004.png" width="30"> |A |
**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a Xbox game that calls for the button `B` to be pressed it corresponds to the right button.
## Nintendo Games
The Nintendo layout is used by `Nintendo Controllers`.<br>
It could also be used by other `Genric` third party `Nintendo Clone Controllers`.

**Example:**<br>
So if you are emulating a Nintendo game that calls for the button `A` to be pressed it corresponds to the right button.
## Sony PlayStation Games
The Playstation layout is used by `Playstation Controllers`. <br>
It could also be used by other `Genric` third party `Playstation Clone Controllers`.
**Playstation - Button Layout**<br>
| Button Placement | Button | Name |

| North | <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-triangle.png" width="20"> |Triangle |
| West | <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-square.png" width="20"> |Square |
| East | <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-circle.png" width="20"> |Circle |
| South | <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-cross.png" width="20"> |Cross |
**Example:**
If you are emulating a PlayStation game that calls for the button `Square` to be pressed it corresponds to the left button.
**Regional differences:**
In games from the EU/US `Cross` is confirm while in Japan `Cross` is cancel:
Depending on the region of your Playstation game, the buttons `Circle` and `Cross` switches the meaning for confirm and cancel (they are still at the same physical location).
But it is good to keep in mind if you are used to exiting out of menus with a certain button and wondering why it works in some games while others not.

## Cooker
Cooker, differently from the main (stable) branch, is what it's boiling in the pot now: the bleeding edge of the software development.
Every time a commit or a PR is done, a GitHub action automatically compiles the snapshot with the latest changes and publish them on the [cooker repository](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK-cooker).
This can be publicly tested and if it's stable will be merged in the main branch creating a new release.

# How do I install RetroDECK on the Linux Desktop?
<img src="../../../wiki_images/logos/linux-tux-logo.svg" width="150">
## Prerequisites
1. You need to have flatpak support installed on your Linux desktop. <br>
Follow the official flatpak guides on how to install it for your distribution:<br>
[Flatpak Setup Guide](https://flatpak.org/setup/)
2. We recommend that you have the `steam-devices` and/or `game-devices-udev` package installed as it comes with udev rules for many different controllers. You will have to check your distribution on how to install it.
3. We currently recommend that you add and launch RetroDECK from Steam so you can utilize the Steam Input feature to change various aspects of the external controllers. We will be looking into other alternative solutions later for those that don't want to use Steam.
## From the Desktop GUI
- Go into your flatpak supported software manager in your desktop environment, this is different depending on what desktop you use. Example: for GNOME is often `GNOME Software` and for KDE it is `KDE Discover`.
- Search for RetroDECK and press install.
## From the terminal
- Run the following command `flatpak install Flathub net.retrodeck.retrodeck`
## First Run - Quick Start
1. Start RetroDECK for the first time
2. Choose where RetroDECK should create the `roms` folders `Internal`, `SDCard` or `Custom`.
3. Put the BIOS inside `~/retrodeck/bios/` for more information read
4. Put the ROMS inside `~/retrodeck/roms/` folder.<
5. Add RetroDECK to Steam [How-to - Add RetroDECK to Steam](../../wiki_howto_faq/add-to-steam.md)
6. Make sure you have enabled controller support in Steam [How-to - Enable Controllers in Steam ](../../wiki_howto_faq/enable-controllers-steam.md)
7. Connect your controller to your Desktop.
8. Launch RetroDECK from Steam and enjoy
## Updates
Updates to RetroDECK is handled automatically via your software manager when there is a new version released.
Or if you want to update from the terminal you can type: <br>
`flatpak update`

# What are some optimizations for the Steam Deck to make emulation even better?
These optimizations are entirely optional and but they can give you better performance on some more demanding emulators.
## Increase the VRAM to 4GB
This increases the VRAM to 4GB in the BIOS, this can give you improvements in certain emulators.
- Power off your Steam Deck completely
- Hold the `Power Button` and `Volume Up Button` until you hear a chime/beep and release the buttons.
- Click on `Setup Utility`
- Click on `Advanced`
- Change`UMA Frame buffer Size` to 4GB
- Save and Exit
## Setup a sudo password
This is a requirement for many optimizations and solutions, it also makes your Deck safer.
It enables you to run commands/applications heighten sudo privileges.
- Go to `Desktop Mode`
- Open `Konsole` or another `Terminal`
- Type `passwd`
- You will now set your new sudo password
- After you are done you can close the terminal
## Install CryoUtilities
This requires that you have set up a sudo password.
This will create a 16GB SWAP file that can improve the performance for some emulators. Note that it will take up that extra space on your Steam Deck.
- Go to `Desktop Mode`
- Open a web browser and go to the [CryoUtilities](https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities) github page
- Click on releases
- Download the latewst `cryo_utilities` version and save to the Desktop or Home folder
- Double click on the file and it will begin the installation
- After installation is complete you will find a new desktop icon `CryoUtilities`
- Click on `CryoUtilities`
- Click on `Recommended Settings`
- It should now be done
## Install Decky Loader
Decky Loader is a [homebrew plugin store](https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/) for the Steam Deck.
This requires that you have set up a sudo password.
- Go to `Desktop Mode`
- Open `Konsole` or another `Terminal`
- Type `curl -L https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/releases/latest/download/install_release.sh | sh`
- Decky Loader should now be installed and you can go back into `Game Mode`.
- To access Decky Loader you only need to press the `Menu Button - (•••)`
### Decky Loader: Install Power Tools
Power Tools allows you to tweak various performance settings of the Steam Deck.
What the best setting is differs per emulator or even per game.
In Game Mode:
- `Menu Button - (•••)`
- Go into Decky Loader
- From the Store install Power Tools
- This will add a 🔌 icon to the `Menu Button - (•••)` where you can access Power Tools.
### Decky Loader: AutoFlatpaks
AutoFlatpaks allows you to manage and update flatpaks like RetroDECK directly from Game Mode
- `Menu Button - (•••)`
- Go into Decky Loader
- From the Store install AutoFlatpaks
