I’m sure most of you here have heard about Cemu’s woes over the last few days. The AppImage and Ubuntu zip assets of Cemu 2.6 on the official GitHub was “compromised by a pro-Russian threat actor”.
Clearly this news isn’t good at all, even if it is a smaller batch who might be affected, but the interesting point to me is how RetroDECK has remained separate from this issue because of how it is run:

As always, wonderful write-up. Thank you and Gardiner!
So, yeah pretty much like distros: point release vs rolling release. Personally RetroDeck vibes with me a lot more than EmuDeck, everything they do emanates this “light side of the force” vibe.
And I’ll close with my classic: I’m patiently waiting for the day the fabled RetroDeck RomM integration is released to us mortals.
Thank you, as ever for following along with us!
RetroDECK deserves all the attention and accolades, and do know I’ll bring RomM integration up with both teams again for you :P
Thank you so friggin’ much !!! The day it finally is released I’ll build all of you a freaking monument !
It will be the final form of all emulation I do from now on.
Currently syncthing to a server manages sharing my states and saves between steamdeck, bazzite home rolled steam machine and Desktop. This would be the dream for portability, and user sharing!
