HEY YOU?! RetroDECK Team Where is the add to Steam Function? 👿
With the focus of both removing Yuzu and Citra + implementing ES-DE 3.0 changes. It is working, but we still have some small bugs to fix before we can release it. In this case it is better to move it to another patch, hopefully a minor patch like 0.8.X.
External Controller profiles
All controller profiles uses the same one layer radial menu with good to have hotkeys in addition to the normal button hotkeys. To access the radial menu press and hold SELECT + Move the Left Joystick and Press L3 to press the radial button.
The external controller radial menu
It features a variety of PC commands and other commands that are good to have. While the most important commands are bound to the normal button combos.

Ponzu
Ponzu is in part the former Yuzu (Custom) AppImage loader and tool that we had planned for 0.8.0b. If the user has personal backups of the last versions of the now dead emulators in AppImage format they can temporarily be used with RetroDECK as-is.
https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_configurator/ponzu/
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 There is also a risk that future updates can break the compatibility with the AppImages (because they are no longer maintained and dead), this is a as-is solution.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).
Will you be looking in into other forks of Citra & Yuzu later and add into RetroDECK?
First, this type of event makes it ripe for scammers.
We would urge all users to be extra careful and not blindly downloading everything you see on the internet including fan fixes for the dead emulators.
If good, safe and ethical forks arises that have been vetted by the FOSS community...we will look into it.
