We will also give regularly donations to all the tools that EmuDeck uses, so donating to us will also allow us to contribute to the entire community.Ī: Yes! EmuDeck does not actually install on your system.Some examples of this are CloudSyncs of saved games, direct multiplayer, bug fixes, optimizations of Emulators, etc. Everything we code inside our team will be kept as an early access feature, those features will be released to our early access users weeks or months before the public release.Early access users will still get new features first if that that doesn't contradict rule #1 We won’t keep EmuDeck on new platforms like Windows exclusive for early access users for a long time, we will release a public beta to the public as soon as we have something stable enough and then work from there.If we add a third party tool or emulator we'll always ask permission to the developer of said tool.

We are an open source project so we support the whole Emulation open source community.ĮmuDeck's is in a special situation because it needs a lot of tools from some other developers so we want to make clear what means making a donation to EmuDeck and be transparent about our own internal rules Add some of your ROMs to your Steam library and manage the rest in EmulationStation-DE!
