RetroDeck is installed, I see an Xbox emulator, but nothing for the 360. Is it possible to add Xenia canary to it? Or any other 360 emulator.

RetroDECK 0.10.0b Publication Issue on Flathub - Don't update yet! (lemmy.zip)

submitted 2 weeks ago by lazorne@lemmy.zip to c/retrodeck@lemmy.zip

1 comments fedilink

During the recent publication of RetroDECK 0.10.0b, the Flathub build bot encountered a failure while verifying that all required files were included.

As a result, the initial release did not ship with everything it should have. Even tho the files we shipped and tested in the Master Branch where 100% working when it was uploaded.

The failure happened somewhere between github and the flatpak publication pipeline. We are currently rebuilding the package and will push again.

Once the updated build passes all checks and is officially released, we will publish a follow‑up announcement.

Please note: Do not apply any updates that may appear from Flathub, Discover, or the Bazaar until we confirm the successful release.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Any way to manually update emulators? (lemmy.zip)

PCSX2 started showing a notification that retro achievements can’t be earned, because the emulator version is outdated. Can I manually update PCSX2 before retrodeck publishes its next update?
