Migrating from appimage to flatpak (and back again) - PlumberOfDeath - 07-17-2023
First off, thanks for RPCS3 and all the work you're doing, I'm not only impressed with the functionality but with the frequent updates; its exciting to see improvements (and the occasional regression) in real time.
I don't have a problem, just an inquiry about keeping different types of installs in sync. I have a working setup with the appimage and froze my updates after an update that fixed a bunch of my previously temporarily broken backups that broke with a previous update (now 0.0.28-15338-0d57744e Alpha). I'd like to try out the flatpak release as it gets updated (slightly easier to add/update in Steam). Is there an easy way to sync the two, I assume copying some files from ~/.cache/rpcs3 and/or ~/.config/rpcs3 to ~/.var/app/net.rpcs3.RPCS3/? Are there configurations/caches that should be cleaned out with each migration back and forth? Or could a configuration file(s) be linked between the two install types to keep them in sync?
Context: OS Linux/SteamOS (Steam Deck)

We don't maintain the Flatpak, we only offer support with the official builds which are the AppImage and the rpcs3-git AUR.
