Quick update on the status of EmuDeck (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since our last update, we are currently working in several QOL improvements and bug fixes, specially with CloudSync both on Linux / SteamOS and Windows.

As you can see from the picture above we have revamped the whole CloudSync interface on windows, we currently have improved the sync speed when using EmulationStation by a lot, but this new update needs a lot of testing before we can release it to you.

In the meantime we've created a new way to provide you quick support for the most common issues, it's in very early stages and it's pretty basic, but it will get better and better over time.

You can check it out here:

https://discord.com/channels/934078500552462346/1133491010618540134

So what's in store for the near future?
After we release EmuDeck 2.1.19 aka "QOL update" we will start working on these features:

Windows
- Xenia + Xemu support out of the box.
- Playnite support( thanks to a fellow patron that's developing an EmuDeck plugin.

SteamOS + Windows
- SteamRomManager intelligent parser selection, we will only install the parsers for the systems you are interested in playing.
- Sega Model 2 & 3 Emulation

SteamOS
- New alternatives to RetroArch like Ares

Linux

- Same features as SteamOS
- Better support for more Distros.

MacOS
- Start porting EmuDeck to the Mac, for both Intel and Apple CPUs

OnionOS
- CloudSync between EmuDeck & Onion OS for Miyoo handhelds.

Android
- Start working in a first release so testing can begin.


Those are the planned features for this year 2023, but we always add new stuff that wasn't planned so stay tuned!

Just subbed. Mac user who doesn't currently use EmuDec, but looking forward to a possible/eventual Mac port. OpenEmu has gotten long in the tooth with missing features, bugs, and nearly 3 years since the last update. The developers are "active," but, well, life sometimes gets in the way. So I shifted my Patreon donations to this project instead.

OpenEmu is lovely, I used to have it on all my Macs but yeah...they seem to have halted development in the project :( EmuDeck  is 100% happening

Is there any possible way in a future update to add the ability to have multiple rom directories? On steam deck it's not a huge issue due to symbolic links to folders but on windows I can't get Emulation Station to point to my switch roms because they are too big to be on the same drive as all my other stuff. Would be great if this is something that could be added! Love everything else though one of my favorite emu Frontends currently.

You can make symlinks in windows too! https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink

Now Emudeck is not working at all, can't open the Rom manager, I sent a report YPBFLA

Same for me as well Rom Manger won't load to let me select parcers so it doesn't load in my steam library

Couldn't find anything regarding Primehack in the Wiki, it's neither in the Planned or Supported section for Windows. Emudeck for my ROG Ally is not installing Primehack just wondering if this is expected

Is it possible that the team can add support for the Windows version to recognize .lnk shortcuts in the roms folder? This would be extremely helpful on portable windows devices that make use of and have their primary directory's on microSD cards. Once they are full or even if they're not, some of the later generation systems, with their bigger files need to be stored on the main system also.

I'm thinking about doing a UI for that, so people can have some games in internal, some in an external dock or SD Card. In the meantime you can do it using symlinks: https://www.educative.io/answers/mklink-windows-10

Hello i dont know if this is the place, but i have an issue with Rom Manager (windows 10), everytime that i run the parser it deletes the already added content to steam, for example i added some psx games then restart the pc and added some others roms and run the parser again and select add to steam. this process deletes the older added games

Why doesn't EmuDeck create app icons / shortcuts / entries in W11 Start Menu for anything it installs? On several devices I need to manually find the exe and create shortcuts for everything - please fix it.

I joined last week, very interested in seeing sync between Windows and my Steam Deck, this is kind of a dream come true feature. It is slow, it could take 2 min to start Emulation Station on Windows while it syncs. Could it do time sync/last modified checks before downloading? This should make it faster and more accurate. Or can you think of a better and faster way to do the sync?

Does Start and Select close EVERY emulator? I try that on Yuzu and it does nothing...

It does, if it doesn't you it's because you are not launching the games from Steam. Take a look at our Wiki: https://emudeck.github.io/common-issues/windows/#controls

Hi, this is what we will do on next release, we first check if there's something different, and we also do uploads on the background while you place so this makes the syncing a lot faster
