Status Report
Hello everyone!
A quick status report of what I'm working right now:
EmuDeck ROM Launcher & EmuDecky
I've hit a "writer's roadblock" developing the launcher so besides being pretty frustrated I've used all that knowledge to do something really cool.. a decky plugin to launch your games! ( see attached image). This is going faster than expected, the only thing missing right now is the artwork scraper so I hope I can do a new update to our EmuDecky plugin with this new feature soon. I've also added an option to update the emulators from the Decky plugin, the idea is to bring all or almost all EmuDeck features to the plugin so there's no need to go to desktop mode besides the initial installation. A rom importer will be next :)
EmuDeck MacOS
I have EmuDeck in a working status on MacOS, I just need to migrate all the SteamRomManager parsers, test cloudSync and a first release will finally be ready.
OnionSync
I'm waiting on the OnionOS devs to make some changes since they need to do some important ones to make Onion compatible with EmuDeck, until then is on pause.
EmuDeck Android
I'm fixing all bugs you guys are reporting, I just received a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro so I can test on it. So far it's been tested on Retroid Pocket 2 and 3, Odin 2 and some Galaxy phones. Every device is different, so it's hard to get it right. Edit: It's working on the RP4!
That's all for now, thanks for your support!

When my Anbernic RG556 comes in, I am going to see if I can get it to run on it.
I feel like an idiot.. but my RP4 is coming in a bit and I can't find any links etc. on how to install for android. Can anybody point me in teh right direction?
I had the same issue. There is a different Patreon called "ES-DE frontend" (not This one "EmuDeck"). Which is quite confusing as heck as we see "android" status updates here... But the links for APK I get are for ES-DE from that other patreon. The idea is the first 5bucks for joining the Patreon gets access to download. We are allowed cancel the Paid subscription but will still be sent the ES-DE Patreon newsletter (even for "free" members) include a download link for the APK. I just downloaded 1.03 last night for the AYANEO Pocket Air. --- Background: This follows that Amazon app store and Google Play Store fiasco where they just wouldn't play nice with the awesome EmuDeck/ES-DE Devs yet allow other crummy faker "emulation" clones on the stores (this has been reported widely by retro and emulation enthusiasts such as Mr Sujano). -- Minor correction I think on the EmuDeck (this one) the instructions a few months back was to get the Android installer files one needs to open EmuDeck for Windows desktop, and in one of the options/settings is a button to Generate Android Installer. My point above about ES-DE still stands as that still sends me emails with the APK. See https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ANDROID-DEV.md Where it says You can buy the Android APK from Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/es_de I subscribed to both Patreons for a while finance permitting. Last edit: EmuDeck Devs are separate to ES-DE Devs. I hope the support for the multiple platforms improves. The discord is a bit "noisy' with a mix of Steam (understandable as the OG EmuDeck), ROG Ally, Windows and occasional android Qs such as this one right here I'm replying to ,😂 First world problems
Hi can't wait to try on my android
If I join Patreon to get ED for my android device, and cancelled the Patreon, does that mean I will be stuck with what I’ve installed without any future updates?
Hey, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your work. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. 😀
I got an android based KT-R1, hope this update fixes the issues I have. Looking forward to trying it. I'll post the issue on Discord tonight if I get time...
Still problems, does not work right, added to a bug on discord (under a RP4 ticket
Dont worry about “writers block” launcher is good already just improve upon what you have and you’re golden imo!
What about adding sync saving in the next update and fixing the sync saving for all of us pateron members
what's the issue you are having? Please post it on Discord so I can take a look at it.
Sounds like a massive undertaking, thanks for the update.
Looking forward to trying out the Mac version on my M3, because why not!
I'm focusing both Apple and Intel :) . Proud owner of a M1 Pro :D
I've got a Pixel 5a, 6a, and 7 Pro, so I can see how well it works.
please report back if you find any issues!
I think you might like super Mario world. Retro is compat will be amazing! Take your time
Never heard of it. PS: The RP4 works with EmuDeck!
that Mac OS version is probably the most exciting update I can think of, so awesome!
Thanks for working on the retroid compatibility! I'm sure it's annoying but I think it's a great platform for EmuDeck!
aaand it's working
Hi, some of the GitHub issues from over a month ago haven't yet received any replies, I hope you can get to them soon
please post the issues on our Patreon discord, I take a look at those several times per week
