What's the difference between emudeck and retrodeck? I've been using retrodeck and enjoying it quite a lot.
As I recall, retro deck installs an emulation hub that you go into, and then choose what to emulate.
Emudeck installs a bunch of individual emulators and configures them, and also sets up roms so they show up as standalone games in your library. The end result is the games feel like steam games, and you rarely have to mess with anything showing them to be emulated titles.
Emudeck also installs EmulationStation. You can choose to access your games and not by integrating then into Steam. Just like Retrodeck.
And Decky Loader has several Emudeck plugins, but I don't recall seeing any for emulation platforms.
