Hi!New release for RetroLibrary, changes:

- Improved EmuDeck parser, now with more systems.

- Improved ScreenScrapper parser, it no longer hangs.- Improved parser counter, no longer shows 100% all the time

- Initial Theme support with a port of the well liked AlekFull theme ( set it up in the ... Menu )- Added server side logs to improve accuracyReinstall from EmuDeck to get this new features. - Linux onlyThis requires EmuDeck 2.3.8, as some paths will be different from now on, the $HOME/emudeck folder will disappear soon so we'll begin storing all config data in $HOME/.config/EmuDeck to follow linux best practices.For Windows users everything will now live inside USER/AppData/Roaming/EmuDeck so that way we have a more cohesive installation separated of any other emulator you might have installed outside of EmuDeck.Next SteamLibrary release will probably be Windows compatible :)

Y'all broke the entire install like I can't even enjoy my benefits I pay for because I have to do the install process Everytime, then wants me to pay just to check my EA though I already am a Patreon member, then when it does install it cannot even parse anything like what happened to the auto detect thing that made this easy now made it hard to use and now I have to do a full Windows reinstall because of this software thanks!

EmuDeck

Are you launching EmuDeck with no internet connection? What you describe shouldn’t happen

Jacob Pettry

Any update on when Retro Library will let you remove/hide duplicate entries or Bin/Iso/cue/m3u files when you have multi disc games?

Cyb3rdev

im launching it while connected to wifi

EmuDeck

Did you download the early build from patreon?

Sebastian Gomez

Hi, Thanks for the update, but now RetroArch is not finding the retro nintendo consoles (i mean nes, snes and n64); trying to make it work, i reinstalled retroarch and the parser is not working.

Sebastian Gomez

Solved, i changed the "start in" directory "now it goes to USER_NAME/AppData/Roaming/EmuDeck/Emulators/RetroArch and parsers are working now

Justin

On a new linux machine i jumped from main 2.3.5 to dev 2.3.8 but im not seeing the home folder changes. The wording in that section is a bit confusing. Is from now on this update (2.3.8) or soon? Or am i not understanding what "Reinstall from EmuDeck to get this new features" implies? I dont see an option in emudeck to reinstall, unless a reset is sufficient

Justin

Unsure if it was the reset i did, but i see now all thats in the old location is a symlink to the new location. Works as expected.

EmuDeck

Reinstall is for retro library, for the 2.3.8 changes you don’t have to do anything

EmuDeck

Resetting SRM settings didn’t do this automatically for you?

EmuDeck

I’ll keep it in mind for the future!

This update broke shadps4 shortcuts to esde no longer works , after update the shortcuts don’t work and when checking meta data unable to select alternative emulator , but the games and emulator works so what is wrong with this , just got this update for it to fail this emulator only on esde , I followed all steps seems 2.3.8 broke something with shortcuts esde shadps4

Hello! I am trying to perform the installation on a Steam Deck, but I am unable to authenticate with the Patreon token to use the cloud sync feature. The option to log into Patreon and enter the token is not being displayed. Additionally, it is not possible to complete the installation of version 2.3.8. When reaching the "Manage your emulators" screen, there is no option to proceed or finish.

YME

Now latest update 2.3.9 is causing ES-DE to take longer to load Update Only solution that made it faster is change directory within steam to not use es-de.sh and just run es-de appimage can you fix this

EmuDeck

that's because CloudSync is checking for saves, if you do that then you are not using cloudsync

YME

I knew it did cloudsave before but it usually did that at the same time as it launching not forcing me to wait for it to check then start esde sadly

having an issue with steam rom manager where custom settings and parsers wont work any more since 2.9.3 updated on my pc. I'm using windows and i keep getting error loading custom settings / parsers when loading steam rom manager.

Tosaaa

Update completely broke my installation, having to do a full uninstall and reinstall. SRM is also broken.

Tosaaa

Windows btw. Things like SRM being broken, EsDe not detecting emulators so I can't launch games. It's a mess.

ZeroHector2099

I stop working on Windows since I updated, reinstall everything from 0 and now it does not work for me Xenia or Citra, tells me that I do not find the emulator.

EmuDeck

try resetting ESDE settings

EmuDeck

thanks, I fixed this in 2.3.9

EmuDeck

have you tried resetting SRM settings?

BanjoJ

Forced Emudeck folder migration completely broke my SyncThing setup with no prior warning. Please don't automatically move this stuff in the future

Rick Ritter

hi, no matter what I do, on the legion go, install gets stuck at RPCS3-save links. custom reset, quick reset, uninstall. any thoughts on this?

Chad Brown

Yeah a bunch of times doesn't work and on top of that all my links were deleted from steam. :( Ive tried all the limited things i can think of, when i try to recover settings it just gives me an error the next time i start steam rom manager that says error with custome config settings and parsers...

Chad Brown

the exact error message is "error occurred while reading user settings" that's after i clear cache reinstall and then click reset config for custom parsers and settings. Its just like a blank steam rom manager screen now with this settings error.

Chad Brown

quick fyi as well when i try to fully un-install srm i get an error message on emudeck saying "srm un-install fail. There was an issue trying to uninstall srm."

Sir Doyle

After the updating, I can not install RL anymore :(

EmuDeck

send me a DM so I can help you with that!

EmuDeck

that shouldn't have happened, you weren't using the emulation/saves folders to sync them? that didn't change a bit, what were you syncing?

Luke Rideout

What do I need to do to move everything out of Appdata? I have a small C drive and don't want multiple GB worth of emulators taking up very limited space.
