Short Explanation

RetroDeck is a Operating System for Emulation on the Steam Deck.

Emudeck is a Addition to the Steam OS.

I still have no idea what this is. The wiki just says that it replaces a bunch of emulators with one? Okay?

On the wiki, the "what is retrodeck" explains it, but it assumes you're familiar with similar software. It lists some Linux OSs geared towards emulation. I think if you want to get the gist of what it is, look at Batocera.

But yeah, it seems the general idea is it's a frontend to put all the emulators in one UI.

I wish one of these projects would bring in changes from some fork of emulation station I can't track down.

I had a handheld that came with some emuelec-based image. That in turn had some version of emulation station that was freaking AWESOME. Had way way more features, including the ability to configure a bunch of things like whether rewind support was enabled, etc. When I moved to the ES:DE one I thought it was a huge downgrade, then realized it's pretty much the main one everyone uses. I don't get why they haven't brought in these other features.

I also haven't been able to find the fork; I should go look again.
