Status report!
Hi, just a quick update on what I'm working on right now:
EmuDeck Android "Companion App"
I'm working on the finishing touches of a new app for Android to accompany the EmuDeck installer, I'm really excited about it since I've been working on it in the shadows for more than a year now but it's not ready yet, it will be ready soon...but not yet.
EmuDeck Android + CloudSync
Force upload / download is working but still needs more internal testing before sharing it with all of you. Also, on device setup is a challenge, that part works fine with EmuDeck Cloud, SFTP and SMB but other providers like Dropbox are still being worked on and might not be there on the first release. This will come as an automatic update from within the app.
EmuDeck 3 or 2.8
The big rewrite is going well, 95% of the Linux / SteamOS code is complete and tested, and about 80% of the Windows code. This rewrite will see EmuDeck using pretty much the same codebase for every desktop OS for the first time so it's a big deal but since it won't have barely any new features I'm still not sure if using the 3 moniker is overkill so it could end up being "just" 2.8. macOS is probably at like 30% complete btw.
I don't have an estimated time for any of those projects but they will probably launch in that same order, companion app first, then CloudSync for Android and finally EmuDeck 2.8/3
As always, THANK YOU so much for your support, you are the reason I'm able to keep coding fun projects like those!
PS: A new Playnix console batch is coming soon, I've finally find some people I can trust to delegate the building and manufacturing so things will go sooo much smoother than the first time. Expect a small price increase because RAM and SSDs are like luxury items these days :(

I am looking forward to the Windows rewrite and the MacOS release. Speaking of MacOS: Are there any plans to look into supporting Apple iCloud as an option for Cloud Saves? I know there have been hurdles in the past with some services (Google Drive) but wasnt sure if iCloud was ever something attempted. They have a stricter authentication stance so I can understand if it's not something 100% doable.
Not planned at the moment but that could change!
I have an XBOX ROG Ally X running Bazzite - which version should I use?
Awesome! Can't wait for a updated Windows build. That Eden showing the start menu is annoying...
Happy to support a great project. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your hard work.
Im receiving my ayn Thor sometime soon hopefully (stuck in customs) I really really hope cloud saves work soon! Been researching an easy and seamless way of doing android cloud saving as seemless as emudeck! Is there an ETA? Obviously not a date but within the next week or few months?
this month I hope!
