## Thanks Lx32, MonkeyX and dottormac
|
|
|
|
Special thanks to former RetroDECK Team members Lx32, MonkeyX and dottormac for their contributions.
|
|
They are now RetroDECK Alumni with special roles on Discord.
|
|
|
|
Life can sometimes pull us away from contributing to open source projects. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to:
|
|
|
|
- dottormac for their significant help with early testing of RetroDECK.
|
|
- Lx32 for focusing on the SRM implementation, and for his earlier work on BoilR to finally add games to Steam.
|
|
- MonkeyX for his contributions to the Godot Configurator and more.
|
|
|
|
We wish them a happy journey ahead and for those who just got into entrepreneurship ventures we hope for a big success.
|
|
|
|
Keep in touch, Itakatta! 🤌🍕🍝🍌🤌 ❤️

## Open with RetroDECK - New function
|
|
|
|
<img src="../../../owr_appselect.png" width="500">
|
|
|
|
On the Linux Desktop (or desktop mode), we added the option to open and run various files directly with RetroDECK.
|
|
|
|
<img src="../../../littlemedusa.png" width="300">
|
|
|
|
In these examples, we will use the [Little Medusa - Demo](https://megacatstudios.com/pages/little-medusa) a `.nes` file called `LittleMedusa_8bitdemo.nes` from Mega Cat Studios.
|
|
|
|
### Example 1: The Game Inside the Correct Roms Folder
|
|
|
|
<img src="../../../owr_infolder.png" width="300">
|
|
|
|
In this example, the `LittleMedusa_8bitdemo.nes` file is inside the `retrodeck/roms/nes` folder.
|
|
|
|
When you click on it, RetroDECK opens it with the Nintendo Entertainment System emulator, and the game starts.
|
|
|
|
RetroDECK knows that because you opened it from the `/roms/nes` folder, the game must correspond to that system.
|
|
|
|
### Example 2: The Game Outside the Roms Folder
|
|
|
|
<img src="../../../owr_nonedir.png" width="500">
|
|
|
|
In this example, the `LittleMedusa_8bitdemo.nes` file is not inside the `retrodeck/roms/nes` folder but in the `download` folder.
|
|
|
|
When clicked, RetroDECK will prompt a dialog window asking which system the file belongs to and then run it.
|

|
|
## Framework
|
|
|
|
- RetroDECK can now pick up logged-in Steam profiles for systems like SRM.
|
|
- Several light manifest pipeline issues resolved.
|
|
- More logs piped into the central retrodeck.log.

|
|
|
|
## PortMaster Integration
|
|
|
|
- No reported issues; it works as expected in cooker. ✅
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Steam ROM Manager (SRM) Integration
|
|
|
|
- SRM is now working with your Steam username and syncing your favorite games to Steam. ✅
|
|
|
|
We know how you feel:

|
## Godot Configurator
|
|
|
|
- More menus and buttons added.
|
|
- Added the ability to launch SRM for tweaking settings or images.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## What is left for 0.9.0b release?
|
|
|
|
- Emulators/Components updates and resolving any issues.
|
|
- Minor tweaks and bugfixes.
|
|
- Godot Configurator - some missing tools from the Legacy Configurator still need to be implemented.
|
|
- Godot Configurator - design improvements (this might take more time).
|
|
|
|
But as always anything is subject to change.
|
|
|
|
## That is all for now
|
|
|
|
There are more things we are working on, but you will see them in future blog updates!
|
|
|
|
Thanks everyone!
