Thanks for your patience

We want to thank the community for being patient with waiting for the next update.

New Lighter Manifest

We have spent several months rewriting how RetroDECK is built from the ground up.

In doing so we have:

  • Reduced the application size with 600mb.
  • Building RetroDECK went from 3.30 hours to 1 hour! It makes it easier for new developers to contribute.

Launch with RetroDECK (RetroENGINE)

You can now directly launch assign and launch game files in the Linux Desktop (Desktop Mode) with RetroDECK.

DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES

Launch with games via CLI

A sub function of this is that you can now launch games via CLI.

Steam Rom Manager & Steam Sync

RetroDECK is now shipping with SRM-built in.

DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES WITH SUGAR

PortMaster

DESCRIBE AND FANCY PICTURES WITH SHIPS AND STUFF AND MASTERS AND MAYBE PORTS

New RetroDECK ES-DE Theme

We got our own theme and consider it the first version of it.

New Website

We soft launched it before, but we are considering it a part of this update! Have you found the hidden games yet?

           <li>New feature for Desktop: RetroENGINE, now RetroDECK can be used as an headless engine to run your gaems. Just duouble click them!</li>
           <li>New default theme: RetroDECK now got its own custom theme for ES-DE, do you like it? Feel free to give us feedback</li>
           <li>We soft laucnhed our new website earlier, come to take a look at retrodeck.net!</li>
        </ul>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
           <li>Duckstation due to licensing changes is frozen at the latest possible build becoming de facto: Legacy</li>
           <li>Duckstation configured to use OpenGL as Vulkan seems to be broken in some cases</li>
           <li>Because of Steam Sync, Favorites collection is now enabled by default on ES-DE</li>
           <li>ES-DE Updated to 3.1.1 with language support and more</li>
           <li>ES-DE main menu tide up, because of our configurator there were too many entries, moved ES-DE specific configs inside a custom menu</li>
        </ul>
        <p>Developers, developers, developers:</p>
        <ul>
           <li>Manifest was completely redone, more on that on the October blog post</li>
           <li>RetroDECK now is migrated to an organization on GitHub, as before, please check the October blog post</li>
           <li>pre_build_automation script was reworked and additional functions are added</li>
           <li>Contributing is now easier and the manifest build time is down to about 1h (was 3h30)</li>
        </ul>
