# Launching External Emulators
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This experiment was initiated by the user **TopHatCat:** and later expanded upon by the RetroDECK Team. The goal was to explore the possibility of launching desktop games and apps within RetroDECK.

### Disclaimer on Experiments

These experiments are created by the RetroDECK Team and/or Community. The guides are intended for people with technical knowledge and a passion for tinkering. Using these guides *might* put RetroDECK and your data at risk.

## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Flatpak Spawn Permission
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Information:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This experiment requires the `flatpak-spawn` permission, which breaks the sandbox environment that RetroDECK operates in. Therefore, we do not recommend attempting this unless you are confident in your understanding of the process and its implications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can enable it by running this command in the terminal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
flatpak override --user --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak net.retrodeck.retrodeck
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Add RetroDECK to Steam
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We also recommend that you add RetroDECK to Steam to utilize Steam Input as there is a higher chance of inputs working from the external source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also some RetroDECK built-in hotkeys in the radials like `Alt+F4` might help you close windows.
