What follows is a list of features and software currently included in RetroDECK.

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.

The RetroDECK Configurator

Is a powerful Utility that can be used to change/modify and manipulate various aspects of RetroDECK.

The RetroDECK Configurator is the Utility that exposes some parts of the RetroDECK Framework to the RetroDECK users.

What can the RetroDECK Framework and by extent the RetroDECK Configurator do?

It can help with:

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.
