Flatpaks
Some emulators come from the system repository as Flatpaks. Running an "Easy Reset" or "Custom Reset" will NOT update Flatpaks.
To update Flatpaks:
- Update through the Discover store
- Open the EmuDeck application, open the "Manage Emulators" page, click the "Update your Emulators & Tools" button, and click the "Update Flatpaks" button
It is recommended you monitor and use the Discover store to update any system libraries as well. Not updating these system libraries can cause Flatpak emulators to stop working.
