## Thanks for your patience
|
||||
|
||||
If you read the January blog post we are pushing the Godot Configurator to a later version to implement more feedback we have gotten both internally and from our testers.
|
||||
|
||||
We want to thank the community for being patient with waiting for the next update.

## New Lighter Manifest
|
||||
## New Lighter Manifest & Structure changes
|
||||
|
||||
We have spent several months rewriting how RetroDECK is built from the ground up.
|
||||
|
||||
In doing so we have:
|
||||
|
||||
- Reduced the application size with 600mb.
|
||||
- Building RetroDECK went from 3.30 hours to 1 hour! It makes it easier for new developers to contribute.
|
||||
- Reduced the application size with `600mb`.
|
||||
- Building RetroDECK went from 3.30 hours to about 1 hour.
|
||||
- Went from a monolithic build approach to a modular approach (each component is built separately and stitched together into RetroDECK).
|
||||
- pre_build_automation script was reworked and additional functions have been added.
|
||||
- RetroDECK now is migrated to an organization on GitHub that is hosting the new modular structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Launch with RetroDECK (RetroENGINE)
|
||||
|
||||
You can now directly launch assign and launch game files in the Linux Desktop (Desktop Mode) with RetroDECK.
|
||||
RetroDECK can be used as an headless engine to run your games.
|
||||
|
||||
On the Linux Desktop (or desktop mode), we added the option to open and run various files directly with RetroDECK.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../../owr_infolder.png" width="300">
|
||||
|
||||
**Will RetroENGINE detect what system I want to launch?**
|
||||
|
||||
If you have the game file inside the corresponding roms/<system> folder RetroDECK will understand what system to launch.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
A `.nes` file is inside the `retrodeck/roms/nes` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
When you click on it, RetroDECK opens it with the Nintendo Entertainment System emulator, and the game starts.
|
||||
|
||||
**What if it is not in the correct folder?**
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../../owr_nonedir.png" width="500">
|
||||
|
||||
When clicked, RetroDECK will prompt a dialog window asking which system the file belongs to and then run it.
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES
|
||||
|
||||
## Launch with games via CLI
|
||||
|
||||
A sub function of this is that you can now launch games via CLI.
|
||||
You can also launch games directly via CLI with RetroENGINE.
|
||||
|
||||
Example syntax:
|
||||
|
||||
`flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck retrodeck/roms/<system>/<gamefile>` (`--help` for more information).
|
||||
|
||||
This feature have been requested by other developers in the community (or for those Linux Wizard Grognards that only want to use CLI for everything).
|
||||
|
||||
## Steam Rom Manager & Steam Sync
|
||||
|
||||
RetroDECK is now shipping with SRM-built in.
|
||||
RetroDECK is now shipping with [Steam Rom Manager](https://steamgriddb.github.io/steam-rom-manager/) and the ability to Sync your games to Steam (Steam Sync) built-in.
|
||||
|
||||
**What is Steam Rom Manager?**
|
||||
|
||||
**How does it work?**
|
||||
|
||||
**Notice: Flatpak Steam not yet supported**
|
||||
|
||||
We have not added support yet for Flatpak Steam.
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES WITH SUGAR
|
||||
|
||||
## PortMaster
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES WITH SHIPS AND STUFF AND MASTERS AND MAYBE PORTS
|
||||
RetroDECK is now shipping with [PortMaster](https://portmaster.games/).
|
||||
|
||||
**What is PortMaster?**
|
||||
|
||||
**How does it work?**

||||
## New RetroDECK ES-DE Theme
|
||||
|
||||
We got our own theme and consider it the first version of it.
|
||||
We got our the first version of our own RetroDECK ES-DE theme!
|
||||
|
||||
The theme is a remixed and inspired by the themes: Mini Banner made for Launchbox and ES-DE-Mini made for ES-DE.
|
||||

||||
The original themes Mini Banner and ES-DE-Mini are made by: `Weestuarty`, `DerSchlachter`, `Dan Patrick`.

||||
The RetroDECK Theme features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Other types of sub-menus and layout.
