# 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, and Batocera. The RetroDECK team consists of several veterans for some of the projects mentioned. RetroDECK 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.
