# RetroDECK on your device!

    [](https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) # What is RetroDECK? Instead of having several different software on your system for a variety of emulators and frontends you only need to have one: RetroDECK. RetroDECK is a [EmulationStation Desktop Edition](https://es-de.org) (ES-DE) powered flatpak application that builds in a variety of emulators and other software that allows you to play your favorite retro (and even not-so-retro) games in one complete package. It's 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. RetroDECK also adds the `RetroDECK Framework` and the `RetroDECK Configurator` on top of the emulators and ES-DE interface that allows deeper integrations between emulators and easier exposure to a variety of features that you otherwise need to set per emulator basis to create a uniformity between them.
