## What is RetroDECK?
|
|
|
|
RetroDECK is an all-in-one game application powered by[ES-DE Frontend](https://es-de.org)and available as a [Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/net.retrodeck.retrodeck). It includes various pre-configured software like emulators, systems and game engines.
|
|
|
|
### Easy to Install
|
|
|
|
You can easily download RetroDECK from Flathub via your software center, such as KDE Discover or Gnome Software.
|
|
|
|
### Easy to Update
|
|
|
|
RetroDECK updates through your software center, just like other system updates.
|
|
|
|
### RetroDECK is contained
|
|
|
|
By being an all-in-one flatpak application RetroDECK is sandboxed and contained. Thus put all important files from all software in a minimal amount of locations, instead of having them spread out over your entire system. That also makes RetroDECK very easy to remove and clean-up (if you so wish).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Saves Space
|
|
|
|
RetroDECK also saves space comparing to installing all emulators separately as we can cross reference libraries and functions the Emulators / Engines have in common and only ship one instead of several.
|
|
|
|
### RetroDECK Configurator
|
|
|
|
The RetroDECK Configurator, accessible from the ES-DE main menu, allows you to change and configure settings across many systems from one interface.

### What is the difference between the main version and the cooker version?
|
|
|
|
