What is Retrodeck?RetroDECK is an emulation and retro gaming solution to catalog and play your game collection directly from Linux in one unified application. It's inspired by other embedded emulation systems like AmberELEC, EmuELEC, CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera. RetroDECK is powered by EmulationStation Desktop Edition, that uses RetroArch and other standalone emulators to allow you to import and play your favorite games in a tidy environment. No other software is needed as everything it's already included in one package!BETA NOTICE: RetroDECK is still in Beta and the team is actively developing and adding more features. The primary focus during the beta period is on SteamOS and the Steam Deck but we hope to expand to more devices and general Linux desktop in the futureNOTE: It can be run on Linux desktop right now but there will be some manual configurations needed for input, storage location and other tiny hickups.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STEAM DECK:For more detailed information check our wiki: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wikiIf you want to sponsor the project: https://www.patreon.com/RetroDECKIf you want to join the RetroDECK community check our:Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroDECK/Discord: https://discord.gg/Dz3szYsP8g (If you want to help out with the project join the "i-want-to-help" channel)

Citra is an experimental open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger written in C++. It is written with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and macOS.Citra emulates a subset of 3DS hardware and therefore is useful for running/debugging homebrew applications, and it is also able to run many commercial games! Some of these do not run at a playable state, but we are working every day to advance the project forward. (Playable here means compatibility of at least "Okay" on our game compatibility list.)
