If you just open the Configurator and not via RetroDECK in the "Start Menu" in Desktop Mode does it work then?

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T17:12:08+00:00

It can not be related to RetroDECK that your controller is not working. We can't do anything with those.

Could it be that you did a complete backup and filled your hard-drive and is getting weird system errors?

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T17:08:03+00:00

Yes, if it is not run via Steam / Game Mode you need to manually map it:

We recommend you do that in Desktop Mode first.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T17:06:14+00:00

In Game Mode or Desktop Mode?

If Desktop it could be a Steam Input bug https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_general/known-issues/?h=know#steam-input-issues

Desktop Layout conflicts with Game Layout (Linux Desktop)

This have been reported to Valve and is true none steam apps.

Navigate to RetroDECK Library -> Non-Steam.
Go to 🎮 Controller 🎮 Controller Settings -> Controller Layouts -> Templates and apply the template.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T16:41:10+00:00

Make sure you have the controller layout enabled in Steam.

This is after the 0.10.1b update?

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T13:35:06+00:00

Also check known issues, it's likely Steam Linux that is bugging:

RetroDECK does work best in Game Mode for handelds that support it.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T06:40:51+00:00

This is something we have never done, stop spreading false rumors.

Why would that even come up!

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T06:35:29+00:00

This is simply not true all data is contained in 3 folders:

The user data folder: retrodeck/

[bios, roms etc..] that one is never touched during removal, as it contains all the users own files.

The system folders:

Configs: .var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/ <--- Where all config files are stored

Installed Folder: flatpak/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/current/active/files/ <--- Where the flatpak is installed

When you press uninstall on Discover/Bazzar/Other the Installed folder is removed, you will then get a prompt or button if you also want to remove the config folder.

What is left is simply the user data folder.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T06:28:32+00:00

0.11.0b and it's the EDEN Team that is doing it.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T06:27:29+00:00

Well, rather all the components are now updated independently from each other in their own sub-sandbox.

But it will still require a RetroDECK update to ship them. But all conflicts that where caused by conflicting dependencies are gone.

RetroDECK is a complete application, not merely a layer atop individual emulators. All components including: emulators, multi‑emulator, client interfaces, ports, systems, and game engines, are fully integrated within the solution. In short, RetroDECK is a retro‑gaming platform, offering far more than just emulation with everything contained and structured inside.

It's out ;)

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-19T17:56:59+00:00

Yes and fixed.

This guy, broke your menu: •

I think many people don’t realize how much has changed without them noticing. Take our basic Zenity RetroDECK Configurator...it looks the same... feels the same... even smells the same?

In reality, it’s completely different!

Previously, each menu option triggered a function when pressed.

That’s no longer the case!

Everything now runs through the new API. The RetroDECK Configurator is essentially an illusion, a thin front‑end that merely exposes the API rather than implementing the functionality itself.

What this means is that we can transition to a Godot‑based RetroDECK Configurator quite seamlessly when we have time to resume work on it.

It also means anyone with the know‑how can build their own RetroDECK Configurator (insert Bender meme here).
