PortMaster is a simple GUI tool designed to facilitate the downloading and installation of game ports for Linux devices and is self contained.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the goals of PortMaster is to not install or upgrade any existing OS libraries for any ports. Any of the ports that need a particular non-standard library are maintained within the ports' folder and made available specifically to that port during execution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That not all 800+ ports are available for the X86_64 system, but the list keeps growing all the time.

### Does PortMaster require BIOS / Firmware / Other files?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PortMaster does not require BIOS or Firmware but depending on the game you might need to supply the official game files from purchased titles to get them to run.
|
||
|

## Where are the files located?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two main directories:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`retrodeck/PortMaster/ports/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This contains the game files, savefiles and directories. This is also where you add any required game files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`retrodeck/roms/portmaster/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This contains the auto generated launch scripts for ES-DE as `.sh` files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to use PortMaster?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You go into the PortMaster menu in ES-DE and Open `PortMaster`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The application will auto update to the latest version and from there a library of ports will be shown. You go to a port and press the download button and it will downloaded and added to the ES-DE interface under the PortMaster menu.
