Can’t get PS3 games in Steam library to open w/ Retrodeck

Basically I use Retrodeck and PS3 games load from within Retrodeck perfectly. However if I try opening one of the same games from my Steam Library, it won’t load.

It looks like it’s because Retrodeck uses its own hidden installation of RCPS3 to load games and the launch options on the Steam shortcuts are for the standalone version, even if I make the shortcuts directly from the RCPS3 from within Retrodeck.

I don’t know if anybody else uses Retrodeck and got these to work in both libraries or if it’s not possible.

Thanks

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?

SECURITY PSA - For Cemu emulator 2.6 (recent AppImage/Ubuntu downloads compromised to include malware, including EmuDeck users)

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.

Retrosync: Couldn't find the Steam Cloud equivalent for emulation, so I made my own

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking for a way to sync my emulation progress (ROMs, BIOS, Saves, etc) across my devices (Steam Deck, Bazzite HTPC, and a Windows gaming PC). I looked around and couldn't really find anything, except for EmuDeck Cloud Sync, but that's a paid feature.

I had a Thanos moment and decided to do it my self. So I put together a project called RetroSync.

Note: "I" here refers to an AI doing the hard work and "I" spamming the keyboard bossing it around.

Basically, it’s a script that automates the entire process of setting up Syncthing via its REST API. It connects your client devices to a central NAS hub, syncing your ROMs, BIOS, saves, states, and metadata without having to manually mess with the Syncthing GUI and pairing everything yourself.

The Windows to Windows syncing (RetroBat) is stable, and I'm currently rolling out and testing the Linux/Steam Deck (RetroDECK) side of things. It is very much in an alpha/testing state right now.

I’m sharing it here because I’d really appreciate any help, feedback, or testing from the community to fast-track the progress. If you have a NAS and use these frontends, I'd love to know how it runs for you, what breaks, and what I can improve.

GitHub: https://github.com/The-HBA/Retrosync/

(Standard disclaimer: Because this is an alpha build, please back up your saves before testing. Also, as a general rule, do not run any scripts you find on the internet unless you read through them and verify they are safe to run!)

Let me know what you think or if you run into any weird edge cases!

Dualsense Edge gyro for Wii emulation with RetroDeck on regular Linux (Ubuntu)?

I was browsing the interwebs and the RetroDeck wiki but I wasn't really able to find an answer for this. When using standalone Dolphin I am able to configure the controller to act as a wiimote. But I am totally lost on how that should work within RetroDecks RetroArch environment. Is there a wiki page I missed or is someone able to help me out otherwise on how to set this up?

Cheers!

All emulators gone after an update, how to reinstall everything the proper way?

I did an update a while back and didn't realize until today that it removed all my emulators. I'm assuming that's the issue since there are no ROMs visible in Retrodeck despite them still being available via file manager.

If I remember correctly, I chose the SD card method when I installed it. So whats the best way for me to reinstall everything? Just wipe the SD card or is there a better method to get a fresh start (I have no saves to worry about and the ROMs I have backed up elsewhere)?
