I spent a few days with the #RetroDECK team chatting to them about why their project is more than 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 emulation. They all believe in the #retrogaming landscape so much, they just want to bring everything they can to their program

RetroDECK Is More Than Emulation: An Interview with the Devs

There’s a certain way people talk about retro gaming that I’ve never fully clicked with. It almost always comes back to consoles and emulators: what system you’re recreating, how accurate it is, how close it feels to the original hardware. And of course, that’s part of

Switch Emulation Support - Will Be Removed

https://lemmy.zip/post/59382078

Switch Emulation Support - Will Be Removed - Lemmy.zip

After waiting a full year before introducing any support for Switch emulators, in order to determine whether such projects would continue to exist, we made the decision to add limited support for Ryubing in 0.10.0b. In light of recent developments, it has become clear that this was not the right course of action. Switch emulation has consistently been the source of the most issues within the project, generating the highest volume of warnings, bans, toxicity, and support tickets. We would also like to note that the DMCA status of these emulators creates a level of legal exposure and implied responsibility that we are neither willing nor able to assume. RetroDECK is a volunteer-driven project, and we will not place the team or the broader community at risk by maintaining features that could subject us to takedowns, legal threats, or compliance burdens beyond our scope. Accordingly, in an upcoming minor update, all Switch emulation support will be permanently removed from RetroDECK forever. Furthermore, discussion of Switch emulation will no longer be permitted on any of our social platforms effective immediately, and our community rules will be updated to reflect this change. Users who still wish to use Switch emulation will need to configure and integrate it manually on their own, or move it from an old install as a user-made component mod without any support. Please note that your existing games and save data will not be touched or removed. However, you will no longer be able to launch or play them within RetroDECK natively. This is final!
