Emulation on Linux
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
The last time I tried emulation on a desktop PC, whether it was Windows or Linux, I had to install each emulator separately. It was a bit of a mess.
On my Steam Deck, Emudeck made it stupid easy. Retroarch wasn't terrible, but was a bit more irritating and buggy for me to get working. Either way, it had a bunch of emulators all in one spot so I didn't have to go hunting for a ton of them. Are there solutions like this for Linux as well now? What about for Windows or something like a RetroPIE?
I think Emudeck is available as a Flatpak, so you should be able to install it on your desktop too.
It is not, you may be confusing it with retrodeck, which is solely distributed as a flatpak.
Oh really? Boo.
Retrodeck looks good, but the recommended install instructions were just too nutty for me:
curl https://... | bash
is not ok.Well that looks promising. Last time I looked into it, I was put off by a shell script that called sudo, but if it's bound to a Flatpak, I can work with that.
Ahh, yeah that's about what I remember. Too messy for me. This sounds like it'd be better as an actual package (apt/pacman) then.
