EmuDeck Support

[ZaxBit]

Hiya! RetroNAS has been awesome and I'm wondering if there's any easy way it could support mapping to the way EmuDeck for Steam Deck sets up its folder structure? I know it's been asked around before but there weren't any clear answers.

My current plan was to create some symlinks just like the MiSTER integration, but for EmuDeck's folder structure. That way I could have an easy way to keep things in sync in tandem with SyncThing on my Deck. I would love to share my results when I'm done tweaking but am wondering how there might be other ways there could be connectivity? I think my biggest head scratcher will be how EmuDeck handles saves and states wildly different from RetroNAS (by emulator vs. by system).

yes we can look at this

If they are wildly different in the save space, we simply wouldn't support it and would just do basic rom folders, but i can take a look at the repo later today

Basic EmuDeck support is now available in testing

@ZaxBit if you ever get anywhere with this, i'd be grateful if you could share. Sounds like a greet idea

Will do. I think I got close but am a little out of touch with the way SyncThing works-- I was able to begin syncing all the emulation save folders but needed to match the same on my Desktop PC as well. SyncThing would be a lot easier to use if it allowed for easy selective syncing, but instead you need to structure everything folder by folder (unless you get very intricate with the ignore list).
