# 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 external emulators games and via RetroDECK of ES-DE supported systems.
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 external emulator games via RetroDECK for ES-DE supported systems.
The main downside of this is that you are defeating the entire purpuse of RetroDECK and keeping everything togheter.
**However, doing this defeats the entire purpose of RetroDECK.**
You are also not getting any of the RetroDECK Features for these systems: Hotkeys, Configurator, Unified Folders, Backups etc.. etc...
You will not get any of the RetroDECK features for these systems, such as:
You are creating an Anti-RetroDECK inside of RetroDECK.
- Hotkeys
- Working Inputs
- Configurator
- Unified Folders
- Backups
- and everything else
Essentially, you are creating an Anti-RetroDECK / Bizzaro-RetroDECK inside of RetroDECK.
>! Absolute Heresy!
Your system will be cluttered, and you will be bound by each emulator's defaults, which you will need to change to your liking.
There is no good reason to launch external emulators via RetroDECK (unless you really like to tinker).
You can simply install ES-DE from their website and install the emulators as normal, running just ES-DE.
Your system will be cluttered and you are are bound by each emulators defaults and you will need to personally change them to your liking.
