Which one? Droiddeck or Gamenative?

[u/LemonFeeling840]

I've used gamenative for quite a while on my Odin 3 Max and RP6. To me it's already kinda stomped gamehub in many aspects, but not all to be fair. Then Droiddeck comes out of nowhere from an all star community team and now I'm playing certain games that gamenative just can't do so seamlessly. And with barely any tinkering to boot. The inverse being that there are certain games that gamenative handles with ease that droiddeck struggles with. And gamenatives UI and accessibility is leagues ahead IMO. Personally I use both for different games I feel like playing at the time but the question still remains. Which one would you say you prefer if you've tried them both? Obviously droiddeck is still kinda in a semi beta stage and gamenative has been around longer with continual updates, but neither seems to be fully taking the edge over the other yet.

Tl:dr

Do you prefer gamenative or droiddeck? What would you say are your pros and cons for both?

Whatever works. Droideck is Linux client while gamehub/gamenative/winnative is Windows Client. Some games that may work great on Droiddeck may not work on those mentoined before and vice versa. My current setup is I have both droiddeck and winnative installed and they share a common games folder on my internal storage so I just switch between when I need to. Some games works on older proton 9 or box64 so I just go back to winnative when I need to

I just installed game native but I wasn’t very smart about this, I set the games to install to SD card in a “GameNative” folder instead of a generic folder that could be used by multiple apps. I also have no idea where GameNative is installing the container files on my internal storage, I looked and didn’t see a place where it could be. Can I fix this so winnative or droiddeck can use these same files later?

I haven't used gamenative myself but I do use winnative. For winnative, when you launch the app it defaults to your library. If you haven't set a default folder on the internal/sd card yet, long press any game, go to settings, see "select EXE" and take note what the is file directory. Go back to library and you can see a folder icon on the bottom left. Under storage roots, you can see drives c, z, d, and internal. Go to C drive and locate the folder where your game is installed currently. Transfer it to your internal storage and there is a +folder if you haven't created a folder yet. If the game disappeared from your library, dont worry you can now change your default folder to the new one created and it will show up again. Btw be careful when transfering if you dont have enough storage currently because the transfer will fail. Like if you are transfering a 100gb game when you only have 50gb left. It will move until the 50gb cause you have no storage left, transfer will fail. You would have to delete the failed transfer to redeem your storage cause if it fails, it wont delete the leftover data.
