## The RetroDECK Framework

||
|
||
RetroDECK adds the `RetroDECK Framework` on top of the software that allows deeper integrations between the built-in software and easier exposure to a variety of features that you otherwise need to set for example per emulator basis to create a uniformity between them.

- Easier management of `mods`, `roms`, `texture_packs`, `scraped media`, `screenshots`, `saves / states` `gamelists` and more

## Missing Features and BETA Period
|
||
|
||
We plan to add more emulators, engines, systems, and functions over the course of the development cycle.
|
||
|
||
We do not have any plans to ship all emulators, engines, or systems in existence for each game system or console. The goal is to ship those that handle that system the best with the most features and we are allowed to ship.
