It is working, but the user experience might not be that great it as we want it to be just yet.
You will also need to manually configure the input to match your desktop and might need to tweak more settings. If you want to try it make sure that your distribution has flatpak support (else you will need to install it).

## Q&A Supported Systems
### Will you support Windows?
No, RetroDECK doesn't support Windows currently and there are no plans to do so.
As an alternative you could try [RetroBat](https://www.retrobat.org/) that offers similar functionality in a Windows environment.
How ever if you install a Linux distribution on your device instead you can try out RetroDECK.
### Will you support ARM devices like iOS, MacOS and Android?
ARM devices are not supported currently. ES-DE does support the ARM emulators, but it is a vastly different landscape.
It would be a major undertaking but one day in the future it could be possible. But it would need to be a unique experience as the emulators, other underlying systems would not be the same and would need to be rewritten.
We would also need more developers with ARM experience to help us with this effort.
For Android we believe that it is not possible to right now bundle and preconfigure emulators on Android unfortunately as the licensing is different of both the ES-DE frontend and several emulators in the Android versions on the various app-stores.
If you want to try it make sure that your distribution has flatpak support (else you will need to install it).

But the team is not large enough to migrate and maintain other distribution methods, so we prefer to focus our effort on Flatpak only.
If someone with knowledge and passion wishes to help us with migrating to a solution and help us maintain it, we are open for a discussion.
### Will you support RISC-V?

It is a vastly different landscape with other licensing models for several of the emulators/systems specially on Android where the X86_64 binary is FOSS while the Android version is closed source.

# RetroDECK 0.8.4b
**Release date:** 2024-08-XX
## RetroDECK Framework / Backend:
**Fixed:**
- An issue where the fix for: second level subfolders inside `retrodeck/` folder were not correctly placed and moved to the new folder structure under the `retrodeck/ES-DE`. This caused scraped data that was stored under `downloaded_media` and other ES-DE data not to be found by the ES-DE frontend. In 0.8.3b was not fully triggering for some users.

Now this might not be so exciting for the majority of our userbase, but we have begun rewriting the entire RetroDECK flatpak manifest for 0.9.0b (it's not done yet, but getting close). This allows us to:
- Make even better synergies between emulator/engine dependencies with less overhead.
- Make several optimizations.
- Cut down build time.
- Reduce space.
