What are RetroDECK experimental features?
The main function of the experimental features is for the RetroDECK team to do some light testing in the stable environment.
Experimental features are a showcase of what proof-of-concepts we are trying out.
All these features are just conceptual, and we hope them release ready in a later major update or scrap them if they don't work out.
🛑 Backup before testing! 🛑
These features can make you lose all data including ROMS, BIOS and Scraped Data etc...
We recommend that you don't run any cooker builds on your main gaming machine as you daily usage of RetroDECK.
How do I take a backup?
Backup your /retrodeck/ and its content and /.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/.
You could copy the entire folders to a secure location or for a quick test you could just rename both of the folders into something else.
Then RetroDECK will think it's a fresh install.
Example of renaming:
OLDnet.retrodeck.retrodeck/
OLDretrodeck/
How do I enable experimental features?
From CLI run:
flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck uuddlrlrstart
The Developer Options Menu should show up inside the Configurator.
