How do you access emulator in‑game features when using RetroDECK?

We are curious how the community interacts with emulator features (save states, screen shots, fast forward, etc.) inside RetroDECK. This helps us understand how people actually use the system.

When does “retro gaming” begin?

What do you consider is the start of retro gaming?

Reddit polls max out at 6 options, so I combined 1st + 2nd gen into one choice (Odyssey, Pong, Atari 2600, etc.), and I couldn't include 8th gen. Write in your choice if you have something that isn't a poll option?

Pick the earliest generation you personally consider “retro.” I would love to hear your thoughts too. Do you think your age plays a part in your decision?

CEMU Hack and RetroDECK

A recent security incident affected Cemu’s Linux AppImage and Ubuntu packages distributed between 6 May and 12 May.

Official PSA: https://rentry.org/cemu-security-psa

RetroDECK users are not affected. RetroDECK does not use Cemu’s AppImage or Ubuntu builds, and we do not perform automatic updates. Every emulator version we ship is tested, verified, and pinned to a known‑safe, stable build. This slower, curated update process is exactly what prevents incidents like this from impacting RetroDECK users.

To reiterate, RetroDECK users do not need to take any action. Your installation is safe.

This also includes RetroDECK Epicure users. Epicure pulls Cemu from the official Flatpak, which was not part of the compromised distribution.
