RetroDECK – RetroDECK 0.10.0b – RC3
🚨 RetroDECK 0.10.0b “Dastardly Dansband” is LIVE! 🚨
This isn’t just an update—it’s a full rebuild. Here’s the lowdown:
🎮 New Emulators Added:
- XRoar → Tandy TRS-80 & Dragon computers ✅
- Azahar → New default 3DS emulator (bye-bye, Citra!)
- Ryubing → Nintendo Switch emulation is NOW IN! 🎮
- OpenBOR → Full .bor/.openbor support with custom launcher
- Flips → Built-in IPS/BPS patcher — no more external tools!
📦 Massive Under-the-Hood Wins:
- Modular Flatpak sandboxing — each emulator isolated, safer & leaner
- 800MB+ smaller install thanks to a fresh build pipeline 🚀
- KDE Platform 6.10 required — run `flatpak install org.kde.Platform` if things glitch
- New Lahrs iconset + toggleable folder icons for that sweet retro desktop vibe 🖼️
🔧 Better Than Ever:
- Completely rewritten setup flow — smoother than a fresh cartridge
- Steam Sync now available during install 🎮
- Auto-detects your game storage — no more hunting for ROM folders
- Expanded BIOS checker with clear warnings (no more “why won’t it boot?!”)
- New `retrodeck/storage` folder — all your games, saves & assets neatly organized
🛠️ Emulator Upgrades:
- RetroArch: Fixed palette glitches 🎨
- GZDoom: Handles spaces & symlinks in IWAD paths ✅
- Vita3K, RPCS3, Dolphin, PPSSPP, Cemu — all updated with better shader & log exposure
- Steam ROM Manager now works flawlessly under Flatpak
💡 Pro Tip: Never install from GitHub unless you’re testing.
➡️ Always upgrade via Flathub — safer, stable, and auto-updates later!
