## Status 0.8b: All Emulators are running
|
|
|
|
Since last month all emulators we targeted are now running from within RetroDECK.
|
|
|
|
- Ryujinx
|
|
- OpenBOR
|
|
- Solarus
|
|
- IkemanGO (M.U.G.E.N)
|
|
- MAME
|
|
|
|
What is left is to make them compatible (where possible) with some of our tools and also update the configurations and inputs.
|
|
|
|
But we are closing in on the finishing line!

## ES-DE 3.0 in 0.8b
|
|
|
|
The ES-DE Team just released a major update: ES-DE version 3.0
|
|
|
|
This has a lot of cool new features but it also came with with big architectural changes. RetroDECK will need to accommodate for those changes so we can't ship a minor update and just update to ES-DE 3.0.
|
|
|
|
We will however ship it as part of 0.8b, as we need to verify everything and make the upgrade as safe and as smooth as possible.
|
|
|
|
### ES-DE Android Port
|
|
|
|
As we are friends with the ES-DE Team we also want to highlight that they just released their Android version of the app on the Amazon Appstore. This brings your favorite launcher to Android!
|
|
|
|
They have a one time purchase to buy the app and have removed their Patreon. So if you want to show the interface we all use some love, buy the app :)

## Update: External Controller Profiles
|
|
|
|
These are mostly done and ready for release in 0.8b and they have a little radial menu as well.
|
|
|
|
Check the following pages on how to try them today.

### Joystick as Mouse
|
|
This is a feature many underestimate the value of. Steam Deck user already have a built in Mouse on the `Right Tochpad` in our profile.
|
|
So we want to bring that function to the external controllers as well.
|
|
|
|
**What does this allow me to do?:**
|
|
|
|
This will allow you to do the following with a standard external controller:
|
|
|
|
- PC-Systems: Use it as a mouse (duh) for games that requires mouse input like Point & Click Adventure games.
|
|
- Navigate PC Interfaces: Navigate and click in interfaces that normally can not be used with a controller like several Emulators GUIs.
|
|
- Arcade / Console: Play Lightgun games.
|
|
- Dolphin: Control the Wii Pointer and navigate Wii Menus (we are changing the Dolphin binds to account for this).
|
|
- Dolphin: As you can quickly switch between mouse and joystick in this allows for some manouvers in certain games. Press and hold `Select` and quickly capture those "bits of stars" with the Wii Pointer using the `Right Joystick` then release `Select` and keep playing.
|
|
|
|
**Standard Controllers:**
|
|
|
|
By holding `Select` + Moving the `Right Joystick` you can now simulate a mouse.
|
|
|
|
While holding `Select` pressing `R3` sends `Left Click`.
|
|
|
|
While holding `Select` moving `Left Joystick` open the Radial Menu. By pressing the `RetroDECK Logo` it sends `Right Click`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**PS4 & PS5:**
|
|
|
|
In addition to the commands above you can use the touchpad instead without the need of pressing `Select`.
|
|
|
|
**Steam Controller:**
|
|
|
|
For the Steam Controller the `R4` button will toggle the `Right Touchpad` between permanent `Joystick Mode` or permanent `Mouse Mode`. But you can still do the hold `Select` + `Right Touchpad` as `Mouse Mode` if you want to.
