i’ve been thinking about this since i got my oled. while its cool to have all your emulated game in your library with box and all…it definitely makes things kind of cluttered, and its a bit more of a pain in the ass than i’d like. the tool to find the right box art is never quite good enough and often gives the wrong thing anyway. i just don’t feel like taking the time to do it again. I’ll probably just install the emulators and run retroarch and the like manually.

I only use it for specific games that I want specific controls for such as if a game has inverted controls so I can change the controls only for that game via the steam decks controller settings instead of changing it for every game in the emulator.
I only use the Rom manager to put EmulationStation in Steam. I have way too many ROMs installed to put them all into Steam. This way is much cleaner imho.
but then try to change controls for an emulator via the steam layouts and it will apply to every game until you change it back.
Yeah, I like the idea of pushing out the specific games that need alternate layouts. I actually meant to reply to OP about the general point of “push everything into Steam” vs “don’t do that”.
Im in the minority - I use a batocera sdcard for emulation. I just boot it up when i need to play emulated games.
God no. I hate it. You know how many emulated games I have? Somewhere about 2500. Injecting them into Steam is the worst … idea … ever.
Emulation Station my dude. That’s the best.
ROM Manager is pants for bulk collections. I only like using it for Switch, PS2, and PS3 games as it can be useful having custom controls and power settings
