• New - Steam Input Template for DuckStation with left trackpad Touch Menu (Thanks Moskeeto)
• New - Yuzu AppImage ( Seemingly better performance than the one in discover store, also right click to open menus work! )
  It is VERY important you let Emudeck run the updates on Yuzu so the data migration can happen seamlessly. You will be notified if we find data in the default appimage location and can choose to keep and migrate the old Flatpak data, or you can use the existing AppImage data you have.
  The chosen data will be migrated to the AppImage location, and linked back to the flatpak data location.
  Steam ROM Manager users will need to re-parse for Yuzu games to use the new AppImage.
  The Flatpak installation is NOT removed, but must be for EmulationStation-DE to use the AppImage instead.
• New - Storage folder to keep Xemu, Yuzu, and RPCS3 data in the Emulation folder. Migration will happen at the start. You may need to re-parse for rpcs3 installed files.
• New - Binary Updater tool added. Ths new tool can update EmulationStation-DE, SteamRomManager, Cemu, Yuzu, or Xenia to their latest versions without going through the EmuDeck install process.

• New - Wiimote 2,3,4 are mapped to steaminput devices 2,3,4 - but not connected by default to avoid phantom cursors
