A plugin for Playnite to automatically configure Playnite to use Emudeck via Playnites built-in emulator launching and library scanning tools.
Install from Playnite Add-on Browser or by visiting this link.
On first boot, you will be prompted to set your Emudeck installation path, select the folder and all will be configured for you.
Open Add-ons > Extension Settings > Generic > Emudeck and point the Add-on to your Emudeck installation directory. You will receive a notification notifying that your Emulator configuration was updated.
Then, simply hit Update Game Library > Update Emulated Folders > Update All and Playnite will begin scanning the Emudeck ROMs folders for your ROMs.
Clone the repository and set up your environment in VSCode as per the Playnite Docs
In VSCode, Run Task > Publish to build the extension, and enable it in Settings > For developers in Playnite.
Run ./scripts/pack.bat to package the add-on for distribution.
The definitions for the emulators are stored in Resources/emulators.yml, which is read by the Add-on at runtime to configure Playnite's emulator functions.
The majority of these definitions are generated by the NodeJS script in scripts/SteamRomManagerUserConfigParser which parses the userConfiguration.json for Steam Rom Manager provided by Emudeck.
To run this:
cd scripts/SteamRomManagerUserConfigParser/
npm i
node index.js
and copy the output to Resources/emulators.yml.
Ultimately, the entire emulators.yml file will be generated via this method.
The plan for this add-on is simply to match the functionality provided by Steam Rom Manager through Emudeck, and to maintain compatibility.
- Support for popular emulators (PS/PS2/PSP/GC/Wii/WiiU/Switch/NDS/3DS)
- Support for Retroarch emulators
- Support for PS3 (RPCS3)
- Ability to switch on/off which emulators to configure, same as SRM
- Automatic update of emulator configuration on Add-on update
- Improved controller support out-of-the-box
