Hello community!

|
|
|
We in the team thought we could give you a quick status update on how development is going.

# Status update 2023-04:
|
|
|
|
Controls, Controls, Controls!
|
|
|
|
Right now we are working on a huge overhaul of the Steam Deck's input profile for GameMode that should feature a more uniform hotkey configuration for version v0.7b across most emulators.
|
|
|
|
The team have painstakingly made a huge map (excel) with all the emulators hotkeys, how they can be mapped and in the end classified as important, semi-important och not important.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*The thoughts so far:*
|
|
|
|
* L4-L5 and R4-R5 (the back buttons) are used for various hotkey combos with the traditional buttons. We have to find a layout that feels right and it should allow us do a lot of hotkey binds.
|
|
* The left touchpad opens a radial menu with sub menus that gives you more quick access to less used and the frequently used hotkeys across all emulators.
|
|
* The right touchpad works as a mouse with left click (WiiMote games, Lightgun, navigate the emulators gui and other things)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There also will be a community feedback and test phase for the new inputs at a later date. We would love to hear your feedback!
|
|

**Expose new folders for ease of access:**
|
|
|
|
For v0.7b we are going to make it easy to understand where to find the various gamelist.xml and where to put mods and textures. We are adding/exposing folders in the main `retrodeck` folder for ease of access. So you will find new folders for `gamelists` `mods` `textures`.
|
|
|
|
No more deep diving into various hidden folders of where to put your textures and mods in Citra for your favorite Zelda game!
|
|
|
|
Just put them in the corresponding mods or texture folder and you should be good to go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**CEMU**
|
|
|
|
We are also trying to get CEMU inside the next version of v0.7b
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Trivia: Patch names**
|
|
|
|
We will also start with naming the big patches from v0.7b and forward.
|
|
|
|
So v0.7b will be called "**RetroDECK v0.7b - Amazing Aozora**".
|
|
|
|
It will go up one letter for each version so v0.8 will be a word combo that contains "B B" and v0.9 will be a combo with the letters "C C" and so forth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What else?**
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of other things in the pipeline as well for v0.7b. But we shall save those for a future update (when we have something to share and we don't want to spoil everything).
