Like most with a Steam Deck, I started with EmuDeck. It’s fine, and clearly used by the vast, vast majority but like you I just had my issues with it.

I had 3 emulators installed and the data (stored in like 289745873407 difference folders in obscure places) was around 32GBs. I love that RetroDECK can exist solely on the SD card, with no problems with performance at all. And that radial dial?! Magic!

I’m glad you enjoyed this :)
