  • I wish one of these projects would bring in changes from some fork of emulation station I can’t track down.

    I had a handheld that came with some emuelec-based image. That in turn had some version of emulation station that was freaking AWESOME. Had way way more features, including the ability to configure a bunch of things like whether rewind support was enabled, etc. When I moved to the ES:DE one I thought it was a huge downgrade, then realized it’s pretty much the main one everyone uses. I don’t get why they haven’t brought in these other features.

    I also haven’t been able to find the fork; I should go look again.

      We are trying to match that type of functionality inside the RetroDECK Configurator where we have toggles for rewind, save-on-exit etc… right now. There is also big plans to expand the Configurators functions even more further then those ports and everything is done inside RetroDECK.

      ES-DE is only a general frontend that works on all OSes.

      Projects like Batocera have their own version of Emulationstation, with a lot of integrated features. But that also requires you to replace your whole OS.

      While our project can just be installed directly from flathub on Steam Deck or Linux Desktop.
