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?
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.
You…can just download the script and inspect it yourself before running. This cargo cult “security” advice needs to stop.
I did just that. It’s not about security. It’s about messing with my machine’s setup. I don’t want to run a bunch of rando commands that might mess with how my actual package manager manages my system.
