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.
I stl don't understand how this is better/different than EmuDeck, a project I heard much more about.
I haven’t used EmuDeck since they’ve apparently revamped the installation process, but I think RetroDeck is (or at least was) a much cleaner installation since it’s just a flatpak. I’ve got it installed on my deck and it works fine. Not really using it atm
