HEY YOU?! RetroDECK Team Where is the add to Steam Function? 👿

With the focus of both removing Yuzu and Citra + implementing ES-DE 3.0 changes. It is working, but we still have some small bugs to fix before we can release it. In this case it is better to move it to another patch, hopefully a minor patch like 0.8.X.


External Controller profiles

All controller profiles uses the same one layer radial menu with good to have hotkeys in addition to the normal button hotkeys. To access the radial menu press and hold SELECT + Move the Left Joystick and Press L3 to press the radial button.

The external controller radial menu

It features a variety of PC commands and other commands that are good to have. While the most important commands are bound to the normal button combos.

Generic - Standard

The Generic - Standard encompasses the vast majority of none official third party controllers that have all the buttons of a modern controller like 8BitDo Pro2 or the Xiaomi Controller.
