This is such a convenient tool for emulation, the global hotkeys and controller scheme for all emulators is a really cool idea

EmuDeck vs RetroDeck pros and cons ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

EmuDeck is more complete, and is easier to setup especially for recent console (e.g. Switch). However it's a script that installs a bunch of flatpaks and puts files all over your device.

RetroDeck is a self-contained unique application so it's cleaner, but last time I checked it was a bit more difficult to get Yuzu to work.

Also, EmuDeck creates individual Steam games for each of your game while RetroDeck is a launcher (EmulationStation) for all your retro game. Whether it's a pro for one or the other is up to personal taste.

@erwan @warmaster which should people choose?

I love RetroDeck, It's about as close as you can get to a turn key solution.
Switch emulation needs work but otherwise it does everything I want.
