I stl don't understand how this is better/different than EmuDeck, a project I heard much more about.

My understanding is Retrodeck is a cleaner install, being self contained as a flatpack… and that is.

Emudeck works with standalone emulators that are just hooked into EmulationStation. That means more frequent updates. Also, Emudeck supposedly had better performance due to this, but take that with a grain of salt.

I haven’t used EmuDeck since they’ve apparently revamped the installation process, but I think RetroDeck is (or at least was) a much cleaner installation since it’s just a flatpak. I’ve got it installed on my deck and it works fine. Not really using it atm
