    Which emulator do you use on the Deck? I don’t like retroarchs ui, and the other emulators I’ve tried need a cursor, which is fine but I’d ideally use something else.

      I think Bazzite suggests using Emudeck, should also work in SteamOS

      I think Batocera uses EmulationStation, which is what Emudeck installs?

          Neither of those are actual emulators, just unified front ends for ROM management/emulation. Emudeck is essentially an installer and (in)sane config preset tool, emulation station is the frontend you use to boot the ROMs you want to play, in place of opening an individual emulator.

          For emulation station you still need to install the emulators to a location it can see them.

          Emudeck does that for you, with the exception of citra and the Nintendo Switch emulators.
