@entropicdrift @Telorand why did you choose retro deck over emu deck ?
Couple reasons:
RetroDeck is a flatpak and EmuDeck is basically a script that installs a bunch of custom stuff directly and configures it. I like the flatpak ecosystem and it makes more sense to me to do it that way so it's self-contained. Seems like it'd be cleaner to remove/update/move the installation and less likely to break due to a SteamOS update
EmuDeck is working on Windows/ROG Ally support, while RetroDeck is just for Linux and dev priorities are still fully focused on the Deck
RetroDeck supports a couple fewer systems than EmuDeck, but they both cover all of the ones I care about personally.
RetroDeck is also more closely partnered with EmulationStation-DE
@entropicdrift is retrodeck ready for use? I haven’t really heard of it compared to emudeck.
IMO it is. They put a bunch of "oh it's still early days" kinda warnings on their github page but for me it was pretty much plug and play
@entropicdrift I feel like retro deck will over take emu deck. Wish emulation station was better or that some other method work better at bringing all my emu games together.
@entropicdrift okay, I’m having issues with the rom transfers. The way I have my rom set up is that each game has its older folder. So, RE2 folder has .cue 1 and .cue 2 and the .m3u file. I put that folder in the psx folder and now retrodeck sees it as separate files and the .m3u file won’t launch. Actually , no Psx game launches.
Hey, I'm not the guy to ask. For one, I don't have any PSX games on my deck yet, but also I haven't had to troubleshoot retrodeck yet.
If I were you I'd ask for help on their discord
@entropicdrift i wish someone did a walk through. I don’t know much about the process involved for retro deck.
Did you want a video or a text walkthrough?
I used the text one. Worked great
@entropicdrift ou great. Thanks! I got the roms and bios but I’m afraid that retro deck won’t read it well like it has happened with emu deck. Duck station just couldn’t load up the roms like I wanted.
@entropicdrift can I get both? I like both.
