## Bonsai Banana - Released
|
|
|
|
We thank everyone for your patience
|
|
|
|
## PortMaster ❤️ RetroDECK
|
|
|
|
We are proud to announce that the parts of the RetroDECK Team, Batocera Team and PortMaster Team is going bring [PortMaster](https://portmaster.games/index.html) to x86_64 systems.
|
|
|
|
RetroDECK's goal is to have it ship natively and built-in... and guess what?!
|
|
|
|
It already works in our early POC!

Not all ports have x86_64 versions but more will be added over time and a lot of work left to do for all of us.
|
|
|
|
### What is PortMaster?
|
|
|
|
It is a Linux Port Manager to easy download, manage, create and play various Linux game ports.
|
|
In many of the ports you will need to own game and take files from the original game for the ports to work.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### There exists other ways to run the same games?!
|
|
|
|
Yes, there exists many ways to run these ports and games outside of PortMaster.
|
|
|
|
PortMaster was born from the handeld gaming devices as a way to play these games on something like the Miyoo Mini.
|
|
|
|
For certain ports it might make more sense to install them directly via options and their runners:
|
|
|
|
- [Luxtorpeda](https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda)
|
|
- [Lutris](https://lutris.net/)
|
|
- [Flathub](https://flathub.org/en)
|
|
- [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/)
|
|
- [Heroic](https://heroicgameslauncher.com/)
|
|
- [MiniGalaxy](https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/)
|
|
|
|
Some ports are however very hard to install for the avarage user and PortMaster makes it a breeze to install most of them.
|
|
|
|
What are doing is proving you with a new option within RetroDECK.
|
|
|
|
## That is all for April
|

|
|
Thanks everyone!
