## Does RetroDECK ship with Stable or Nightly Versions of Systems?

RetroDECK ships with the best version for running games. For bleeding-edge emulators like RPCS3, it ships nightly versions. For RetroArch, it ships stable releases, but uses nightly versions of cores if no stable version exists.

## Recovering Deleted Folders

If you've accidentally deleted folders (BIOS, Saves, etc.) under `retrodeck/`, you can get them back by doing a Full Reset and redoing the initial setup.

## I have .bin + .cue files and the games shows up twice in ES-DE

We recommend that you use the built-in compression tool in the configurator to compress the games into another format like `.chd`. You will only get one entry and you will also save space.
