For fans of emulation on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, you might want to give the new EmuDeck 2.3 Beta a spin. This new Beta was released September 8th, with the EmuDeck developers now looking for some feedback on how it runs. In case you missed they also recently revealed the EmuDeck Machines.

There's no full changelog of what's been doing yet other than the app having "a new unified UI and multi language support".

I've been giving it a spin today, and it seems to work quite well. The updated interface is quite a bit better, with proper categories for all the various settings and tweaks you can do. Here's a few shots of how it looks in the Beta on desktop Linux:

You can give them feedback in their Discord and download the Beta from GitHub.

Definitely read the manual before playing with this one. It does warn you that it moves roms and such to the folder you select, and I'm not sure if a github readme / somewhere other then the interface warns you, but personally I did not realize it was going to detect my already installed emulators and folders through them and consolidate those to it's folder too.

It's currently rsyncing my RPCS3 dev_hdd0 folder, which is decently large and a ton of inodes.

Frankly while I see the convenience I definitely wouldn't have tested EmuDeck on my desktop if I'd have realized it was going to auto-detect things I didn't enter into the interface somehow.

The only major change I've noticed so far aside from UI is they added support Lime3DS, which is a fork of Citra that is being actively worked on. That's pretty nice to have.

Imagine the billions of dollars left on the table by companies who are too dumb to just sell on PC.

Yeah no, I'm not going to buy your walled garden device and pay for a game only to be required to re-buy it every couple years.

Instead all we get is IQ50 Rage where henchmen are hired to STOP people from having fun. Stockholders should demand that ALL game makers sell on PC. It's inefficient to create all this ewaste by requiring people to buy additional devices that will end up in a landfill too. Existing devices should be repurposed once they are EOL at minimum.

Billions flushed down the drain and an entirely new set of vendors have appeared* to fill the void raking in those billions and billions more and even taking their money bags to console-land to cut into their markets too.

Idiocracy. Complete IQ50 Dumbasses that preside over a industry they neither respect nor understand at* the expense of investors and the market alike.

These projects are always proof that there is demand. But their is no supply due to ignorance.
