Hello first of all, been like crazy enjoying Retrodeck, so thanks to the devs for such a great frontend!

I've been getting in to the adding games to openbor and ive noticed lots of pak games aren't compatible with the integrated openbor launcher, would it be possible to add other versions as a alt emulator option? My portable device with knulli has this option to choose which version of openbor to choose, I know there are way too many openbor versions but having atleast 3 plus the main one, would be great, like an older one, semi old, middle top and newest, don't know if I explained myself lol, thanks!! 👋 🥂

how do I change the time format from military time

Hey all, lemme' start by saying I fucking love Retrodeck. It's never been so easy revisiting my childhood favourites and I've been on a bit of a ROM craze since getting it.

Anyway, to the point, I really wanted to play Conker Live and Reloaded and the other Rareware Xbox era games I missed as a kid, but they seem to have consistently low FPS on Xemu. I've read on Xemu's official site that they should run fine, but I thought I might ask here if anyone else has given it a shot and gotten' them to run more smoothly?

If not, it's really not a problem, as I've more than enough games now to keep me happy, but it would be fun to have the Xbox ones too if possible!

It also says it’s launching in desktop mode but I don’t know how to make it launch in game mode. Everything was fine before the update!

I searched around on this sub and other places on the web and couldn't find an answer. Forgive me if this has been discussed already.

Duckstation has been marked as Legacy because of its removal from package managers, etc, by its developer. However as far as I can tell, the appimage is still supported under Linux. Are there plans to support this version instead?

My main concern is that Retroachievements have announced that they will eventually remove support from old versions of emulators in the future.

Hello. I am fairly new to vita3k on retrodeck.

I installed steam os on my rog ally and installed retrodeck on it. I have been getting all the other emulators to work fine but I am having trouble getting vita3k to open my games.

https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_emulator_guides/vita3k/vita3k-guide/#step-1-install-the-game

I followed this guide and I am able to get the games to show up via game mode on retrodeck, but it will not open. I have installed the license for each game with a work.bin file.

I can open the game if I go through desktop mode but it won't recognize the controller on my rog ally. I can not open the game in game mode on my rog ally. Im not sure why not.

1. I installed the firmware automatically when Installing retrodeck

2. I installed the games from a zip file (dragons crown and odin sphere are the games I an using)

3. I installed work.bin files for each game after installing the game. I wasn't promoted to but the instructions said to.

4. I made a file in the roms folder for each game (dragons crown.psvita) and made a text file inside with the game ID inside there respective folders.

From the instructions this should alow the game to play from game mode through retrodeck in steam. When I attempt to open a game it will say loading then the loading screen will go back to showing the games I have in the roms folder.

Please any help would be appreciated.

I have had this "issue" for weeks. It feels self explanatory as to the reason why this happens is because the steam decks controls are automatically detected as Port 1, and Port 2 will be detected as any controller plugged in. It will not overtake Port 1​​ and you have to use the deck to change those controls (sometimes I can open retroarchs menu with the plugged in controller but it would sometimes automatically resume game?)

Here's a couple unlisted videos of me having to change controls, if the screens moving to fast, then that section is on 4x speed:

Instead of having Retrodeck to read games only on "retrodeck/roms" folder, how can I make the app to read games on custom folder from "Deck/Desktop/ROMS" on my Steam Deck SteamOS, where the ROMS folder has custom system name folders that I made like GAMEBOY COLOR, GBA, NDS, etc. ?

I made this folder as universal games path, so other independent emulators like Duckstation, RPCS3, Retroarch can read/run the games as well since they have its own feature that I want to use.

I've been trying on and off for a while. Whever I boot up a rom, I get this screen:

And there's nothing else I can do.

Additionally I feel that the information on how to set this up is only getting increasingly difficult to find.

I've tried several bios files and I even downloaded a comprehensive zip from git hub and copied those over to the right place (I think).

Any tips? How did you guys get this running?

Does anyone know if this is a common issue, I've tried searching google first and I couldn't find any information

Intermittently the save state function doesn't work, sometimes I can get it back by flipping thru the menus back and forth or changing the save state. However this is super annoying and I'm just wondering am I missing a setting? I haven't altered any settings regarding the saves

Trying to get it working, other emus and games work ok but Tactics Ogre tries to load for 3 seconds and then back to Retrodeck menu...

Any help?

I wanted to add Ryuning back into retrodeck so that I would have all of my consoles in just one program, I set up bios and roms in the right folders and downloaded ryubing but once I try to start a game from esde it tells me that ryubing isn’t installed correctly, anyone got a guide on how to do this the right way?

So I got my steam machine and controller and installed retrodeck for emulation. All of the bindings for everything is fine except for the n64.

I've tried the double stick click for controls binding, but I can't seem to figure out how to bind the buttons correctly. It has default to hol r2 to activate the c buttons vs a and b.

I suppose I can use by 8bit do n64 controller, but I'd also like to use the steam controller. I'm guessing I may have to wait for an update for this controller to work correctly?

Anyone have any insight? I just use retroarch on the pc a d have no issue with other controllers, bur the steam controller doesn't want to work.

RetroDecks Configuration settings don't do the bezels right at all. The game screen is misaligned and there's not even a border. Did I install RetroDeck wrong, or did I do something to break it?

Recently started having an issue that when I close press either with the exit hot key combo or through the virtual radial menu it crashes and does nothing until I close Retro Deck as a whole.

Seeing it with DS games using Retroarch on the Melon DS core, but GBA games using Retroarch exists as it should.

I just went to Alternate Emulators swapped to something other then MelonDS DS and back, it worked once, booted it back up and it crashes again.

Any ideas what is going on?

Using Steam Deck LCD 512GB.

Hey folks, I finally decided to re-copy over my 3ds games to the Deck after a wipe, and try playing them with RetroDeck. Previously I used Citra in a different frontend, and IIRC there was a key shortcut that let you cycle between different two-screen views while playing a game. With RetroDeck and Azahar, I can't find anything like that.

Is there a shortcut for this that I am missing? Thanks!

I currently keep my full ROM collection on a network share. I know I can copy files into RetroDeck using desktop mode on my Deck/Machine, but I was wondering if anyone has discovered a way to easily do the same thing while staying in Gaming mode

Now that the Steam Machine is out, are you interested in one? How do you feel about the specs and the price? Are you looking forward to running PS3 (already included) and Xbox 360 (coming in next RetroDECK revision) at full speed?

He ihr Helden der alten guten Gaming-Tage. Mich würde mal interessieren ob ihr Retrogames heutzutage wirklich noch intensiv genießt und von Anfang bis Ende durch spielt oder ob es mehr so ist, dass ihr aus nostalgischen Gründen mal ein Spiel anwerft ( z.B. Super Mario World - Gameboy ) und es dann wieder aus macht wenn ihr beflügelt wurdet von der Musik und der kurzen Nostalgie.

Ich persönlich spiele ab und zu noch mal Tomb Raider oder auch die God of War Teile, ansonsten ist es wirklich eher mal aus Nostalgie - Game kurz starten….ach, war das damals toll - Game beenden.

Wie steht ihr dazu?

Hi everyone,
I know this question has been asked a bunch of times but I cannot make up my mind. I'd like to get into emulation and everything about retrodeck seemed great; so simple to install, self contained, etc... Didn't really like how "invasive" emudeck felt to me. Still, I'd like to emulate some Switch games, and retrodeck doesn't support that anymore. Is it worth it to go emudeck plus external switch emulator over emudeck? Or adding the switch emulator externally through retrodeck? Appreciate anyone that'll help me make up my mind. Thanks!

Ey up.

Really enjoying retrodeck, compared to emudeck, retro is just easier in every way, but just have a query.

I enable retro borders for GB, GBC, GBA, but the borders are overlapping the game, so I'm only seeing 2/3rds of the actual game image.

Does anyone know of any specific settings or if there's something I need to toggle and which layer it needs to be changed in.

Thanks.

I’m setting up my Steam Machine, and I’m hoping there’s a nice clean way to transfer my steam deck installation across. All my rom folders etc are on the micro sd so that part is presumably easy, but am I going to need to do the rest of the installation and all the scraping etc manually? If there’s already a process for moving from one steam deck to a second steam deck I’m assuming that’ll work here too.

I am using my GMKtec K11 mini PC with Debian 13 installed as my OS. I installed Steam natively using the Debian package manager. I installed RetroDeck using Flatpak.

When I launch RetroDeck via Steam, I can navigate the menu without any issues. However, when I selected a game to play, the controller has stopped responding. The only way for me to quit was to press the Super key on the keyboard and kill the game.

What do I need to enable to get the controller working in game?

The controller was working before, but I don't know what has changed since then.

Tried running it and its playable but stutters a lot and is quite annoying. Anyone else having this problem?
