How do people feel about Retrodeck vs Emudeck? Should I just pick one and go with it?
RetroDeck removing / freezing the version of Switch emulators made it a no go for me. EmuDeck may not auto install/update any Switch emulators anymore, but it provides a channel for me to install them myself and benefit from the auto configurations / ES-DE integrations.
So they're a goodie fucking two shoes.
Thanks for the heads up.
I took another look, and it looks like they've gotten around to changing over to Ryubing from Ryujinx. At the time I previously checked RetroDeck out they had Ryujinx declared legacy while Ryubing was going strong.
But there remains no support for Citron/Eden/etc.
Yeah that's no good chief.
I'll be sticking with EmuDeck. Again, thanks for the heads up.
It's obvious they're afraid of supporting shut down project in any way even if the user wants it.
That's okay, we can use something else
Personally, I prefer RetroDeck... you should definitely pick only one, trying to run both at the same time will probably cause you to rage quit from sanity, lol.
I’m not an advanced user, bit the fact that retrodeck was a Flatpak I could easily install on my Steam Deck without installing Deckyloader was a big plus.
I prefer RetroDeck, plus they are close friends with the RomM team, hopefully we'll see an integration soon™.
