2.3.13 EmuDeck Bug fix + Need your Feedback!

am I the only one unable to upgrade past 2.3.10 ? from the app I get "failed to uninstall old application files. rerun the installer:2" trying to upgrade using the bat files hangs on "loading hotfix information"

Bart Vincke

It also seems to say that regardless of whether I put in the wrong password or not

Doriyaah!

Not sure if you'll see this reply this late but yeah, still not working. Something about bin/bash: line. Basically it can't find whatever command it needs to find to install this

Doriyaah!

I really like retro library, I think it is a better alternative to all other options. It feels more integrated.

Aspen Feltner

I've installed the plug in for the Retro Library and can see the games, however none of the games will load. Which is strange, as they work normally other ways.

Roberto Stephenson

Yeah. I just replied to (you?) Can't send ya a dm.

Rinoa 3s

not yet but I have to add it for sure

EmuDeck

have you posted on Discord? I'm a little behind on my discord support, I'll take a look asap

EmuDeck

Cloudsync doesn't seem to be working for a few of us. Everything works but upload always fails, and this is across multiple devices.

Thanks for letting me know about Screenscraper. This is great news. Is there a way for me to sign into my Screenscraper account for use with Retro Library?

Jay

Totally understandable. That and working with windows sucks ass in comparison to Linux.

Aaron Quebman

It worked again with one of the updates in the past few days!

Brian McClure

Windows soon, I want to make it as perfect as possible on Linux first.

EmuDeck

Since it's a Decky plugin It can't be appear in Steam as a non Steam Game :(

EmuDeck

Hi, thanks for your feedback! - RL does use ScreenScraper to get artwork, first version used SRM images but I changed to SS a while ago. - Custom emulators will come in the future, right now it detects if you have a Standalone emulator to use over RetroArch but it's automatic. - Videos: I'm still on the fence on this one, we'll see if I add it in the future

Try again, sometimes GitHub is picky

EmuDeck

try again with the latest release, you might have the random bug this release fixes

EmuDeck

1 Not a solution but use EmuDeck compressor to convert them to CHD 2 For me it does on all my testing, can you send me a DM so I can try to work things out? 3 That's easy to fix :) 4 This was working before but I do need to revisit it, I had to disable it because it hanged the system while checking the game hash

EmuDeck

try again with the latest release, you might have the random bug this release fixes

EmuDeck

I've changed the parser for images, try it again and let me know :)

EmuDeck

please try it! :)

EmuDeck

No I just either have to catch the actual emulation station task in the task bar before it goes black and hold it there OR I have to manually swap screens on the ally pulling up the task bar

Aaron Quebman

I feel you! Did you find to deal with that black screen? It occurs me when I try to load a srm added game in steam, too.

Tim

I haven't had a reason to try it over ESDE lol. I might take another look at it just for that wii theme I saw in another post

Frostymm

I would like retro library but I don't find any option to download cover images and it doesn't appear to do it automatically.

Energy Wizard

I come from SRM. I really like the last big update to retro library, however I still have some nitpicks: 1. Doesn’t recognize BIN/CUE formatted ps2 games(gonna have to convert to iso) 2. Doesn’t add hero, icon or logo(you need to do it manually while the game is in recent). 3. The grid covers selected for the ps2 are squared instead of rectangular. 4. The retroachievements integration can’t be viewed in the library(you need to launch the game first and then you can view it while the game is in recent).

Merc224

Hey Tim. Quick question....are you a dev?

Andre Barbosa

I prefer SRM

Spencer Nisonoff

Tim

Well I've just never been able to download retro library, always gives me an error

Sneeze

I was never able to even get retro library to download so there's that

Doriyaah!

I prefer SRM which isn't installing for me right now, SRM install fails.

Brian McClure

I like the idea of the Retro Library, but I find ES-DE to be a better experience for those with large libraries. Screenscraper does a really nice job of getting all the games’ artwork, even for some obscure titles. When I used SRM, it was a major pain and very time consuming finding all the right box art. Just wasn’t worth it. In ES-DE, it’s pretty easy to set custom emulators and I like the favorites feature a lot; makes it easy to find those games. Lastly, I like that ES-DE plays short videos of each game as you’re browsing, and it displays each game’s metadata as well. Nothing you can really do about that in Steam, though.

Jay

i love srm, because i have all games in one place and can use all features of steam like, custom controls per game and playtime for each game :D

Vergil

I really like the idea of RetroLibrary, from day one I'm really excited by it. Actual functionality is getting better and better everyday. I have a suggestion: would it be possible to have it on Steam like ES-DE? I would rather use that option instead of going into Steam Menu.

Antonio De Nardis

Is Retro Library still Linux only? Id argue thats my biggest issue being an ROG Ally owner. I dont love esde and right now in steam it loads to a black screen and I have to manually select a separate window with esde in it so most things other than cluttering my steam library would be ideal lol.

Aaron Quebman

that's great thank you

Nekomian Hand

Yeah that would probably work. If it helps to decluter the library and I could stop relying on ESDE for older systems then that would be great. That would ease the burden of scraping in ESDE which is super slow.

Keith Leyson

What if RL had an option "Add to Steam" under each game? That way you could use it for old stuff but also to add newer stuff to Steam directly

EmuDeck

I've pushed a quick change, now RL will use alternative emulators if installed, so if you have Yuzu or Citron, that would be the default it will use instead of Ryujinx. I'll keep thinking about how to make you guys able to manually pick the emu you want

EmuDeck

I know but I want to be able to start the games I want directly in Steam. I use ESDE for older titles like SNES or Master System. Not a single Wii or Wiiu or Switch or PS3 game.

Keith Leyson

ummm, I'll think about it, some "advanced" option to show additional emulator collections could work

EmuDeck

I personally change emulators based on a per game basis depending on what runs better or other factors Generally it would be nice to have a option enable "a new library group" for emulators that I wanna use so kinda like SRM does it rn making a group for citron and for ryujinx if both are enabled

Nekomian Hand

as in a game per game basis or system level?

EmuDeck

the idea is for it to be like something where both SRM and ESDE converge

EmuDeck

Is that not the point?

Steven McCall

I do like the Idea of Retro library , my main issue at the moment (and why I don't use it) is that I frequently change between standalone emulators and Retroarch ones or for example citron and ryujinx I did see somewhere that that seems to be a planned feature tho and once it is I think I'll be using it more

Nekomian Hand

I don't like Retro Library because it feels like another ESDE
