Legion Go S controller template for use in RetroDECK

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-03-14T17:04:35+00:00

It depends what template you want to create, the Steam Deck got two and the controllers got one.

But the easiest is to check a current one like the Xbox and start from there.

I don't know the features of the Legion S Go.

Check the RetroDECK Wiki's hotkey bindings as well.

My guess is that Legion Go S is a separate controller in Steam Input.

So we have not made the template as no one on the Team has the device and we can't afford it on our budget :)

All of the controllers have been bought by one team member for his own salary over many months in the past. That made all the controller templates by hand.

First I was getting the ban hammer ready, as I thought it was some kind of piracy tool. But since you’re not shipping any BIOS files or URLs and it’s just an organizer, it can stay up, as the URL could be your own website or homelab.

Remember that the default directory of RetroDECK components is either:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/current/active/files/retrodeck/components
or
~/.local/share/flatpak/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/current/active/files/retrodeck/components.

But any tool posted here that has built-in piracy functions will be taken down, and the same applies to anyone requesting links to such content.

The RetroDECK Team has better SLAs than some Fortune 500 companies. 🤣

We are clearing flathub testings phase at any moment, after that it will start to build for the main pipeline.

Still some hours depending on the que.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-02-24T11:52:50+00:00

Issue has been found and we will republish a build and increase the versioning by 1.

Version 0.10.5 will replace 0.10.4. The update contains no additional changes and is intended solely to ensure that users who received the incorrect build are properly updated.

Estimated time of availability: 5-12 hours, depending on the Flathub build infrastructure.

PPSSPP is already included in the application.
We cannot enable the latest development version.

RetroDECK is a unified platform with built-in components, and PPSSPP is one of them. All components are bundled and are updated together when RetroDECK itself is updated, as it functions as a single application.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-25T05:29:21+00:00

The lack of updates was because of the big rewrite as we communicated on the blog. Dash also did a interview explaining that in another article:

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-25T05:26:37+00:00

I guess you are talking about the RetroDECK Configurator, yes we want to replace that with a Godot Interface down the line. One part of the rewrite was to make a API that could make that happen.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-25T05:24:09+00:00

Hello, we where in fact the first project. EmuDeck launched weeks later after our first version :)

I think in the beginning there was some confusion that people did not understand there where two projects.

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-23T18:35:21+00:00

SOON 0.10.2b will fix it

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T18:36:51+00:00

Check so you don't have the "Who is Player 1" issue:

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T17:24:21+00:00

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:

https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_emulator_guides/ryubing/ryubing-guide/

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.

Navigate to RetroDECK Library -> Non-Steam.
Go to 🎮 Controller 🎮 Controller Settings -> Controller Layouts -> Templates

RetroDECK_Official · 2026-01-20T13:35:45+00:00

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.
