# What are RetroDECK experimental features?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main function of the experimental features is for the RetroDECK team to do some light testing in the stable environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Experimental features are a showcase of what proof-of-concepts we are trying out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All these features are just conceptual and we hope them release ready in an later major update or scrap them if the don't work out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 🛑 Backup before testing! 🛑
|
||
|
|
These features can make you loose all data including `ROMS`, `BIOS` and `Scraped Data` etc..<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We **recommend** that you don't run any cooker builds on your main gaming machine as you daily usage of RetroDECK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How do I take a backup?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Backup your `/retrodeck/` and it's content and `/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/`.
|
||
|
|
You could copy the entire folders to a secure location or for a quick test you could just rename both of the folders into something else.
|
||
|
|
Then RetroDECK will think it's a fresh install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example of renaming:<br>
|
||
|
|
`OLDnet.retrodeck.retrodeck/`<br>
|
||
|
|
`OLDretrodeck/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How do I enable experimental features?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From CLI run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck uuddlrlrstart`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `Developer Options Menu` should show up inside the Configurator.
