MODERATORS
With all the love in the world, from one engineer to another;
Fix the docs!
I went looking for an explanation of what RetroDECK is, found this: https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_about/what-is-retrodeck/
And I kind of know how it works, but not what it does. (At least without clicking through to the ES-DE page)
Give people an elevator pitch as to why they want to download and use this software.
“RetroDECK brings the powerful emulation capabilities of ES-DE to the SteamDeck in one easy to install, easy to use package. Play your , and many more from your couch or on your TV with any controller you like!”
Something something ChatGPT can sex that up a little.
Sure, docs should be up to date and showing the right information, but it's more important that the pitch is on the website, where it is: https://retrodeck.net/
That’s a good reply, but even the pitch there doesn’t tell me anything about the class of consoles we’re taking about.
