# RetroDECK is currently in in BETA
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**What is: RetroDECK is in BETA?**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It means that the software is still under heavy development and big updates can be made that change or add certain features.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RetroDECK is missing some minor and major:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Emulators
|
|
||||||
- Systems
|
|
||||||
- Features
|
|
||||||
- Configurations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That we want to add before we consider it a full release.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RetroDECK is perfectly fine for daily use even during the beta period and the core application should be seen as stable. The main reason we consider it a BETA is all the things we want to improve and add before a full 1.0 release (see the missing features list).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are also experimental features that could be unstable but those are exclusive to the cooker builds or must be enabled by CLI.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RetroDECK during the BETA period supports the Steam Deck and the Linux Desktop. Our goal is to have the full release of RetroDECK to be as easy to use on the Linux Desktop as the Steam Deck is currently.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RetroDECK will keep developing post the full release.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What is the difference between the main version and the cooker version?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Since the main versions is in fact the stable version, the cooker version is the unstable version that is always under heavy development.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Missing Features
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We are working on implementing all these features over the big releases. Some will take longer time than others and we will also add more things to this list when needed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Missing features:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Add games as separate game entries in Steam
|
|
||||||
- Cloud sync
|
|
||||||
- USB transfer
|
|
||||||
- STFP / FTP
|
|
||||||
- Better gyro support.
|
|
||||||
- Dynamic external display resolution support for borders and viewports.
|
|
||||||
- Emulators & Engines supported by default ES-DE (there at least one option per system in RetroDECK).
|
|
||||||
- PortMaster integration.
|
|
||||||
- A rebuilt Configurator that is a Godot application that supports controller navigation.
|
|
||||||
- A rebuilt first run installer and updater in Godot.
|
|
||||||
- Better art: Mascot, Easter Eggs, Logos.
|
|
||||||
- A multi-user system with user profiles.

## What is RetroDECK's development philosophy?

|

Emulation is a global multi-generational effort of development that has lasted for decades, motivated by the pure love for video game preservation for current and future generations. RetroDECK depends on the constant development of all our dependencies (the emulators, front-end, game engines, various assets, etc…). It would be unfair to both the hard work that has been done in those projects and to the entire open-source community if we said otherwise or tried to take credit, conceal, monetize or obscure it for our own gain. As it is their software that makes running the games possible, not RetroDECK by it self as all RetroDECK is unified experience with a framework on top.

## Inspiration for RetroDECK
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RetroDECK is 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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What are the long term vision and goals of the RetroDECK project?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The long term vision and goals of the project is an all-in-one application to manage your entire retro games backup library that is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Already configured and should just work with your games.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Has disaster recovery and multi device support: with cloud saves and syncs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Easy to install with one click installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Easy to use and provide a "Console-like / Batocera-like" featured user experience.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Easy to manage your collections of roms, mods and romhacks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- As much as possible should be configurable from inside RetroDECK itself without needing to exiting the application.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Make tighter integrations with bundled emulators and expose more features and ways to handle them to the end users.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should be secure, safe, and stable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should have an easy way to mange external controllers and other inputs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should support a majority of all supported Emulators in ES-DE, so at least you have one good option per system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should in the long run support applications outside of the scope of ES-DE via a ports manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should be plug and play and fill the need for a portable retro gaming solution that you can bring on the go to a friend’s/family/others house. Just dock into the TV and get going!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Should fully support Steam Deck, Linux Desktop, other SteamOS or Linux based devices.

||||||
|

||||||

## Missing Features and BETA Period

|
|

We plan to add more emulators, engines, systems, and functions over the course of the development cycle.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We do not have any plans to ship all emulators, engines, or systems in existence for each game system or console. The goal is to ship those that handle that system the best with the most features and we are allowed to ship.
