EmuDeck new Early Access release (Patreon)

UPDATE: There was an issue reseting melonDS config on 2.1.7, please update to 2.1.8

Hello everyone!!

As promised, here's our next release! Let's see what's new:

Windows:

- Improved performance and speed for SD Card users

EmuDeck will now install EmulationStation and all the Emulators on your userfolder\EmuDeck\EmulationStation-DE\Emulators.

- Under the hood changes

To make the first point possible we had to change several stuff, so there might be some regressions, I've tested everything and I didn't find any bugs but you never know, please report anything not working as it should.

If you already have EmuDeck installed you need to do these steps to keep everything working:

- Open EmuDeck, wait for it to download and apply the update until you have version 2.1.7.

- Reset EmulationStation DE config from Manage Emulators ( this will take several minutes, just wait for the confirmation that it has actually finished )

- Reset Steam Rom Manager config from Manage Emulators

- Parse your games and ESDE on SteamRomManager again.

- Play like there's no tomorrow.

- MelonDS Standalone

New MelonDS emulator for those that don't like the RetroArch core, there's an issue thought, melon DS has a bug that prevents it to launch games in zip or 7z, so you have to unzip them before using it on Steam or EmulationStation.

- DualSense Fixes

Fixed controls for GameCube and Wii. To apply them just go to Manage Emulators and reset Dolphin configuration.

Steam OS:

- Cloud Backup

In addition to Cloud Sync we are bringing back Cloud Backup, this will upload your saves to your provider in the background while you use your Deck. Activating Cloud Backup disables Cloud Sync and it's the same the other way around, you can only use one of them at the same time.

Steam OS & Windows:

- New CloudSync providers.

We've added more providers: next cloud, pCloud, SFTP and SMB. With these last two you can do your own "private cloud" using a web server or a NAS.

- CloudSync toggle

Are you afraid of sharing your Deck with your relatives out of fear they could wreck your perfect play and to even  make things worse upload that to the Cloud? Well, not anymore!
We've added a toggle on Quick settings so you can disable or enable Cloud Sync with just a button.

- CloudSaves Install page

Now you'll be asked to chose if you want to sync your games, just back them up ( only SteamOS for now ) or nothing at all when installing EmuDeck.

Next I want to work on Controllers for windows, specially the Switch Pro controller and the Dual Sense to try to make use of their gyro and touchpad special features. I also want to take a look at some easy way to set up a mix of controllers for more than one playe.
