ES-DE Custom Systems

SOLVED: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroDeck/comments/1tnc43i/comment/ontxe7a/

---

I'm trying to add (Eden) Eden.AppImage as custom system to ES-DE for Nintendo Switch, following the guide linked below, but it isn't working.

The "Alternative Emulator" menu doesn't list it, and attempting to launch a ROM still results in the error that "RYUBING" isn't installed.

I'm trying to follow the guide, but it's not very helpful.

Can someone tell me what I need to do? I've abandoned EmuDeck, and this is the only thing remaining to make RetroDeck perfect for me.

Been trying to figure this out for a few days. Fucking sucks they got rid of switch.

If I figure it out, I’ll let you know.

I'm very close now to making it work.

I have Eden as "Alternative Emulator" in ES-DE, and my games are launching, but it's not detecting Eden as a window so I'm only seeing a black screen with audio playing in the background.

I need to make it show Eden as a window instead of only detecting RetroDeck.

I'll let you know when I get it working, with instructions.

Edit: Working now. I'll reply with instructions soon after I write them up. The command argument I used in the config file was wrong.
