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 (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.
