# Guide: Ponzu (Legacy AppImage Loader)
<img src="../../../wiki_images/logos/ponzu.png" width="150">
Ponzu is an temporary as-is function that is searching for user provided Citra and Yuzu AppImages and make them available as emulators inside RetroDECK.
### Should this be seen as official support for the removed emulators?
No, the only official and supported defaults are Ryujinx and Citra-core in RetroArch.
RetroDECK will not provide any new: configs, bugfixes, improvements or support towards the AppImages. There is also a risk that future updates can break the compatibility with the AppImages (because they are no longer maintained and dead), this is a as-is solution.
We strongly recommenced everyone to just use Ponzu as a way to safely migrate to Ryujinx or the Citra-core (save and move).
## Where to put the AppImages
Ponzu is looking for the AppImages in the `retrodeck/ponzu/` directory (lowercase).
### Accepted filenames & versions
- Yuzu*.AppImage
- yuzu*.AppImage
- Citra*.AppImage
- citra*.Appimage
Where `*` means that there can be a combination of any character.
## How to:
Note you need to COPY the appimages as RetroDECK will consume them for the necessary files.
- Create the `retrodeck/ponzu/` folder
- COPY the AppImages in there
- Open RetroDECK and wait.
- When RetroDECK is loaded you can point towards the AppImages (if they still work)
## How to uninstall the emulators
- Open Configurator
- Navigate to RetroDECK Tools
- Run Ponzu - Remove Ponzu
- This removes the Emulators.
Your saves and games will not be deleted, so if you decide to re-install them everything will be as you left, except for the configurations that they will reset as RetroDECK legacy defaults.
## Note on Full Reset
If you do a Full Reset of RetroDECK you will need to do the Ponzu process again.
