RetroDECK – RetroDECK 0.10.0b – RC1
🚀 RetroDECK 0.10.0b “Dastardly Dansband” is LIVE — and it’s a FULL REBUILD! 🎮🐧
This isn’t just an update—it’s a revolution under the hood:
- Isolated sandboxes for every emulator? Check. Cleaner, safer, way more stable.
- 800MB smaller thanks to a leaner build pipeline. More games, less bloat.
- New KDE Platform 6.10 runtime — manual install needed for now:
`flatpak install org.kde.Platform`
🎮 NEW EMULATORS ADDED!
- 🎮 Ryubing — Nintendo Switch emulation, now official!
- 🕹️ Azahar — New default 3DS emulator (bye-bye, Cemu headaches)
- 🖥️ XRoar — Tandy CoCo & Dragon 32/64 support, finally!
- 🕹️ OpenBOR — Full RetroDECK launcher integration for .bor/.openbor games
- 🧩 Flips — Built-in IPS/BPS patching tool. No CLI needed!
🛠️ MAJOR UPGRADES
- Smarter first-run setup with optional Steam Sync
- Auto-detects best storage (SSD? External drive?)
- Lahrs iconset + toggleable folder icons for that true retro desktop vibe
- BIOS checker now actually makes sense 🙌
- RetroArch color glitches? GONE.
- GZDoom .doom wrappers now handle spaces, symlinks & multiple IWADs
- Steam ROM Manager works flawlessly with Flatpak Steam!
📁 NEW STORAGE STRUCTURE
All games, saves & assets now live in `retrodeck/storage` — clean, organized, future-proof.
⚠️ NOTES
- Ponzu users: ❌ Not compatible. Stay on older versions.
- Always update via Flathub — GitHub builds are testing-only!
All emulators (Cemu, Dolphin, PPSSPP, RPCS3, MAME, PCSX2, etc.) are updated with better shader/save exposure.
📦 This is the BIGGEST RetroDECK release ever.
If you’re on Flathub — wait for stable.
