## ES-DE 3.0 in 0.8b
The ES-DE Team just released a major update version 3.0 of ES-DE with a lot of cool new features and that came with big architectural changes.
The ES-DE Team just released a major update: ES-DE version 3.0
RetroDECK will need to accommodate for those changes so we can't ship a minor update with just ES-DE 3.0 but we will make it part of 0.8b as we need to verify everything and make the upgrade as safe and as smooth as possible.

### ES-DE Android Port
As we are friends with the ES-DE Team we also want to highlight that they just released their Android version of the app on the Amazon Appstore. This brings your favorite launcher to Android!
They have a one time donation purchase to buy the app and have removed their Patreon. So if you want to show the interface we all use some love, buy the app :)

### Joystick as Mouse
This is a feature many underestimate the value of.
This is a feature many underestimate the value of. Steam Deck user already have a built in Mouse on the `Right Tochpad` in our profile.
So we want to bring that function to the external controllers as well.
**What does this allow me to do?:**
This will allow you to do the following from your sofa for maximum laziness with a external controller:
This will allow you to do the following with a standard external controller:
- Play Point & Click Adventure games.
- Use Mouse in PC-System games.
- Play Lightgun games.
- Navigate PC Interfaces that can not be navigated by controllers like the Emulators GUI and change settings.
- Control the Wii Pointer and navigate Wii Menus with a normal controller (we are changing the Dolphin binds to account for this), press and hold `Select` and quickly capture those starbits with the right `Right Joystick`.
- PC-Systems: Use it as a mouse (duh) for games that requires mouse input like Point & Click Adventure games.
- Navigate PC Interfaces: Navigate and click in interfaces that normally can not be used with a controller like several Emulators GUIs.
- Arcade / Console: Play Lightgun games.
- Dolphin: Control the Wii Pointer and navigate Wii Menus (we are changing the Dolphin binds to account for this).
- Dolphin: As you can quickly switch between mouse and joystick in this allows for some manouvers in certain games like: Press and hold `Select` and quickly capture those "bits of stars" with the Wii Pointer using the `Right Joystick`.
**Standard Controllers:**
By holding `Select` + Moving the `Right Joystick` you can now simulate a mouse on a standard controller.
By holding `Select` + Moving the `Right Joystick` you can now simulate a mouse.
While holding `Select` use `R3` to `Left Click`.
While holding `Select` pressing `R3` sends `Left Click`.
While holding `Select` use `L3` and press the the `RetroDECK Logo` in the Radial Menu to `Right Click`.
While holding `Select` moving `Left Joystick` open the Radial Menu. By pressing the `RetroDECK Logo` it sends `Right Click`.
**PS4 & PS5:**
All these features are enabled on the fly by using the built in touchpad and there is no need to use the `Right Joystick` (but you still can if you want to).
In addition to the commands above you can use the touchpad instead without the need of pressing `Select`.
**Steam Controller:**
For the Steam Controller the `R4` button will toggle the `Right Touchpad` between permanent `Joystick Mode` or permanent `Mouse Mode`. But you can still do the hold `Select` + `Right Touchpad` as `Mouse Mode` if you want to.
