I've installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here's a guide.
I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I'm playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??
"Install this blob of data that you just download from this random URL" isn't something I'm ever going to do on any computer I own. Doesn't Emudeck support something more reasonable like a flatpak?
Tell me more about flatpack. It is a Rom extension? The file i ~~downloaded~~ used was .Xci, played with Yuzu
Flatpacks are very restrictive by design. While this is a good thing in many cases, it makes it very difficult for tools like EmuDeck to work properly. For example, automatically installing other applications (in this case: emulators) isn‘t easily possible. This would make a flatpak version of Emudeck pretty much useless.
While I understand your concerns, I think installing an AppImage which has been built on Github from open source code just isn‘t all that risky.
