RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update
-
So I asked my friends on the RetroDECK team if they'd be open to me asking them a few questions about their latest update (which is a full rewrite of RetroDECK), and they were more than happy to.
For context, RetroDECK is a Flatpak-distributed retro gaming platform designed to bundle clients, multi-emulators, game engines, tools, ports and emulators into a single, self-contained application. Built around the ES-DE frontend and targeting platforms like the Steam Deck and desktop Linux, its aim is simple in concept: make endless retro gaming easy to install, easy to remove, and easy to maintain, without requiring users to manually piece together emulators, dependencies, and configurations.
I've used RetroDECK for years now on my Steam Deck, and absolutely swear by it over the alternatives. I love their work, and definitely encourage you to try it if you haven't already
Here's a little edit, my full questions and answers with the devs is available to read with the following link:

Let me know when retro deck supports ALL Switch emulators and to not pussy out and purposely not support them

I built a Steam PC not too long ago. I’ll give this a shot.

Oh I'm so sorry, it seems that you struggle with reading!!!
This isn't anything to be embarrassed about, kids and adults have trouble with reading and comprehension all the time. I'd encourage you to get your parents or a guardian to look into education help. Even (at the worst) YouTube should have plenty of basic comprehension lessons available, which will make following these complex patch notes easier to understand!

Ryubing is the new Switch emulator.
Let me know if I can be any further help! More than happy to help you with reading. I'm also really good friends with the developers behind RetroDECK, so I can always pass on your beautifully and kindly expressed comments.

Can it work on these android retro handhelds?
No, this is not built for Android!

No thanks. I'll just keep using EmuDeck with the ability to keep using Yuzu, Citron and Ryujinx
Edit: and Eden

You should consider using Retroarch instead.

So what’s the difference between Retrodeck and Emudeck? Is there a benefit to switching over really?
RetroDeck doesn't leave crap all over your system and cleans up after itself.

RetroDeck has the advantage of being a Flatpak and not needing Deckyloader plugin if you’re using a Steam Deck.
I’ve had a great experience with it

Perfect answer, thanks!

So what? How much bigger is it than the other one?
If it allows me to not change too many things on the Deck to install, I’m okay with wasting some space compared to other solutions.
Also it can emulate not just one console.

Most people don't care as long as it's not 100 GiB
The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.
Doesn't hurt to use native options if you like them.

That's nice but for me if a software is also available as a Flatpak it's an advantage for people that use Flatpak. If it's available only as a Flatpak (which this one is) it's a disadvantage for all the people that don't use it. 2GB for one app is insane. Duckstation is ~80MB
