- RetroDECK brings an environment to catalog and play your retro games directly from SteamOS and it's tailored specifically for the Steam Deck.
- It's inspired by embedded emulation systems like AmberELEC, EmuELEC, CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera.
-
- Powered by EmulationStation Desktop Edition, which uses RetroArch and other standalone emulators to allow you to import and play your favorite retro (and even not-so-retro) games in a tidy environment without flooding your Steam library.
- No other software is needed as everything it's already included!
+ What is Retrodeck?
+ RetroDECK is an emulation and retro gaming solution to catalog and play your game collection directly from Linux in one unified application.
+ It's inspired by other embedded emulation systems like AmberELEC, EmuELEC, CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera.
+ RetroDECK is powered by EmulationStation Desktop Edition, that uses RetroArch and other standalone emulators to allow you to import and play your favorite games in a tidy environment.
+ No other software is needed as everything it's already included in one package!
+
- NOTE: Albeit RetroDECK could possibily work on every distro, it's supported only on Steam Deck.
+ BETA NOTICE: RetroDECK is still in Beta and the team is actively developing and adding more features.
+
+ About the Beta:
+ The primary focus during the beta period is on SteamOS and the Steam Deck but we hope to expand to more devices and general Linux desktop in the future (NOTE: It can be run on Linux desktop right now but there will be some manual configurations needed for input, storage location and other tiny hickups).

- - Add RetroDECK to your Steam Library
- - [OPTIONAL] Download Steam Grids with BoilR
- - Always start RetroDECK from Steam Library
+ - 1. Start RetroDECK from the Desktop mode (only needed for the initial first time configuration)
+ - 2. Add RetroDECK to your Steam Library by pressing "Add a non-steam game to my library"
+ - 3. Download the offical RetroDECK controller profile from Steam
+ - 4. [OPTIONAL] Download Steam Grids graphics for RetroDECK with BoilR

-
- Known Issues:
-
- - PCSX2: due to its limitation, the standalone PCSX2 doesn't have any way to set the hotkeys, so no save and load state, no quit button. In order to quit press: STEAM -> PCSX2 -> (X) CLOSE WINDOW, be aware that the state is not automatically saved
- - As of this moment external controllers, local multiplayer in gamemode are not supported. Neither is running RetroDECK in desktop mode, we plan on adding the functionality in the future
