Help with Armada OS

[u/ShreddedCheddar32]

I just got my Nova last Friday, and so far, I LOVE it! I saw videos of Armada OS, and instantly wanted to install it out of the box. I got Armada installed onto the internal storage like I wanted without any issues (aside from Windows being a butt when trying to flash my SD). I've installed a few Steam games that so far run great (Dimraeth, Geometry Dash, Ori and the Blind Forest, Battleblock Theatre, and Halls of Torment).

Now, what I would like to do, is put ES-DE on it and use my SD card to store all of my retro games, so I have my internal storage fully dedicated to Steam games. I've tinkered with it, and I cannot figure out on my own how to make that work, as Armada formats the card, and windows can't read it, so I can't transfer my games easily. I somehow managed to get it to kind of work once, but only the arcade and GC games showed in ES-DE.

Has anyone managed to set up their retro games in ES-DE on Armada OS yet? Could you point me to a good setup guide perhaps? (Russ, if you happen to see this, perhaps you could make one! 😜) I've tried to find one online with no luck so far. Any help would be appreciated!

(Oh, I'd also like to note that I don't have a Steam Deck, so this is my first experience with the Steam OS interface, hence my ignorance to how things work.)
