Greetings, RetroDECK dev here, this was a known issue that was solved on 0.6.2b (15/03/2023), now we are on 0.7.5b and that bug is only a memory. Please let us know if you encounter any issue related to your config if you will decide to try RetroDECK again. Thanks a lot for your patience :)

Oh, that's amazing to hear! I prefer the design of RetroDECK over Emudeck a lot, so I'm more than happy to migrate back then.

Pssst… Hi, got a couple questions, one’s potentially bug related, the other is feature related.
First question: when I plug a controller in and try to play something with Dolphin, many times I have to go and swap the controller in Dolphin’s gamepad setup, otherwise it doesn’t see the controller. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that way when I originally installed retrodeck (I could seamlessly go from holding the deck to using a controller on the couch), so I’m wondering if there are any settings that I might have accidently enabled/disabled that are requiring me to manually swap controllers in dolphin settings. If it helps, the steam deck shows up as Xbox 360 pad 0, my steam controller shows up as Xbox 360 pad 1.
Second question: someone else mentioned that it’s possible to use emudeck to launch games directly from steam. Is this possible with retrodeck, and if not, are you planning to implement the ability to do something like that?

RetroDECK CM Here:

We recommend using the Steam Input interface to leverage order switching, look here:
Change Controller Order
We are also working on better external controller support with a variety of hotkey for the next big update 0.8b.
You can even download and test them right now (check the comments for latest ZIP):
Issue 573
They are subject to rapid change as I’m rethinking several aspects of them, until their first version in 0.8b.
