|
## Will you implement X/Y/Z system?
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to implement and configure the best version, for each system supported by ES-DE.
|
|
|
|
If your favorite system is not integrated, you can request its integration by opening an issue on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
There are already several suggestions:
|
|
|
|
[RetroDECK Github - New Components](https://github.com/RetroDECK/RetroDECK/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22New%20Component%20%F0%9F%92%BE%22)
|
|
|
|
## I have an innovative idea on a new feature, how do I suggest it?
|
|
|
|
Check if the request already exists in the issue list on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
If not, you can create a new issue and suggest it.
|
|
|
|
You can also discuss your ideas in our community before submitting.
|
|
|
|
## Will you add Windows versions of the emulators and run them via Wine/Proton?
|
|
|
|
Currently, there are no plans to support this.
|
|
|
|
## Will you implement Cloud Sync/Backup?
|
|
|
|
Yes, that is planned for a future update. We will allow users to use their own services via easy built-in tools in the Configurator.
|
|
|
|
### What can I use now while waiting for Cloud Sync/Backup?
|
|
|
|
Here are some open-source options:
|
|
|
|
- [Rsync](https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync)
|
|
|
|
- [NextCloud](https://nextcloud.com/)
|
|
|
|
- [Syncthing](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing)
|
|
|
|
- [Syncthing GTK GUI](https://flathub.org/apps/me.kozec.syncthingtk)
|

|
|
## Will you support Windows?
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
No, RetroDECK doesn't support Windows currently.
|
|
|
|
You can try [RetroBat](https://www.retrobat.org/) for similar functionality on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can install a Linux distribution on your device to use RetroDECK. Supporting Windows would be a major undertaking and would require more developers with Windows experience.
|
|
|
|
## Will you support ARM devices like iOS, MacOS and Android?
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
No, RetroDECK doesn't support ARM devices currently.
|
|
|
|
The underlying systems would need to be rewritten due to different emulators and licensing models,
|
|
especially on Android where some emulators are open source on x86_64 but closed source on ARM.
|
|
|
|
Supporting ARM devices would be a major undertaking and would require more developers with ARM experience.
|
|
|
|
## Will you support RISC-V?
|
|
|
|
The idea of supporting RISC-V is exciting, but it as everything else would be a major undertaking.
|
|
|
|
It might be possible in the far-off future as the platform matures and gains more compatibility.
|
|
|
|
But supporting RISC-V devices would be a major undertaking and would require more developers with RISC-V experience.
|
|
|
|
## Will you support other Linux distribution methods such as Snap, AppImage, AUR, etc...?
|
|
|
|
It's not in our roadmap yet. Currently, the entire build system is based on flatpak-build.
|
|
|
|
The team is not large enough to migrate and maintain other distribution methods.
|
|
|
|
However, if someone with knowledge and passion wishes to help with migrating and maintaining it, we are open to discussion.
