Add RetroDECKY plugin

Add RetroDECKY to Plugin Store

A Decky plugin for the all-in-one retro gaming platform RetroDECK. That enables per game hotkeys via built-in menu buttons, automatic boot integration, real-time game metadata and artwork display, plus an in-session PDF manual viewer supporting custom documents like TXT and Markdown. This integration was specifically built for RetroDECK and has nothing to do with EmuDeck or EmuDecky.

Repository: https://github.com/Teppichseite/RetroDECKY

Features

• Running Game Actions - Displays hotkey actions specific to the currently running game.
• Running Game Information - Displays data from ES-DE such as artwork, covers and metadata.
• Hotkey Triggering - Execute hotkey functions through Decky menu buttons instead of keyboard hotkeys, button combos or radial menus.
• Boot into RetroDECK - A function to automatically start RetroDECK when Steam launches in Game Mode.
• PDF Manual Viewer - Read game manuals without leaving the game session.
• Additional Documents - Add PDF, TXT, or Markdown documents per game and view them during the game session
