Hi everyone, thanks for watching my RetroDECK guide! If you’ve have any questions, feel free to comment down below!

Thank you for the video. Retrodeck is definitely my choice now. I am not one of those guys that doesent have a clue about tech but after trying to setup Emudeck for one hour and watching different youtube videos I gave up. This is basically plug and play.

Easy set up but for some reason I now have a Collections tab in game mode with 5 folders: Arcade, Arcade Mame Current, Emulation, SNES and Nintendo Switch - Ryujinx but no games in them. Not sure why. How do I fix this? Retrodeck has all my games showing though.

Thanks for this video, much easier so far than the EmuDeck which I couldn't make any sense of. I cannot seem to get MAME to work though. I've copied the the zip files I know do work to the relevant folder but when I select them retrodeck just flashes back to the games list. Any suggestions?

[HollywoodGaming-fyvt]

Will any type of ROM file work like .RVZ, or is it only .ISO that are compatible?

[warpathh]

Which is the best between EMUDeck and RetroDeck?

[RE_Claire]
