Batocera PC Retro Gaming Setup Guide: PC Gaming from a USB Stick!

Helpful is a understatement, this was the best video I’ve seen when it comes to Batocera. Thank you

Can play assassin creed

Can I play Dreamcast games?

Got the sound to work! I went into Kodi/audio and selected the right HDMI output. Switched in passthrough (same hdmi output). Then in Batocera I had audio output to "auto" and audio profile set to the correct HDMI. Hope this can help others in the future.

thanks for the detailed tutorial!! 1 issue for me: no audio and no option to switch to HDMI audio somehow... anyone had a similar issue please? thank you!

why USB 3.0?

Can this be installed on an SD card? my laptop has a micro sd card slot.

is it fine to install it on an hdd while it has some files? "not important files"

Hey I did the steps and see the Logo on first boot but afterwards it just blackscreens what should I do? pls help

Just know if you use usb, you're going to have stutters no matter how fast your pc is. It's better to flash Batocera to an internal drive if possible

Could we just buy one from you man put the link in your bio

Thanks for the video.

Any idea why it reduces my thumb drive from 200 gigs to under 7

what should I do if it fails to flash to etcher?

Thanks for this great tutorial !
Is it possible to use a SSD to replace the USB key ? It's to have one system without anything but pure gaming.

Anyone run into a black screen after the splash screen? It clearly starts but never gets to the actual program.

How does Batocera compare to Retropie?

How to add PS3 and PS2 emulators on Batocera?

I don't have windows on my pc?

Liked and Subscribed. I have a arcade 2 player vertical cocktail cabinet with JAMMA CONNECTORS. How can I utilize this a little more fully to something that would play or work with this? I am guessing I would also need a really nice modern wireless controller since this only has limited buttons, no track ball, etc. Thanks and all the best. Now that I retired I have time to learn again.

How do you transfer it from the USB to an M.2 SSD?

Good evening Does retrobat work on 32 bit system?

Google Translate

Whoa I've never seen the like button light up on a video before. 🤯

Hi..can u help me? On my laptop, after the Batocera logo appeared, the emulator list did not appear and only a black screen appeared. only the f2 button can be pressed and it displays the time.

Cool, but can we do it in a cd?

Can I get one of those stickers?

HARDDISK FORMAT NTFS/FAT32 ?

hello, i need some help please. i have everything working fine for my laptop, also, when i hdmi port to my tv it works for ps2 and xbox, however, systems like dreamcast just stay black screen on big screen. how can i fix this, hdmi is set on in video settings. ps, i think im on version 38 i believe

Wish mine was this easy I turned off the secure boot but windows keeps start8ng up well this really didn’t help at all thanks anyway

each time I have my somewhat modern gaming laptop boot Batocera I get the Batocera boot animations and then nothing but a black screen... this gaming laptop has 2 gpus 1 in the gpu and the 2nd more gaming powerful one which is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 TI Max Q... I did already search some things up to know that Batocera is supposted to have drivers ready for both Nvidia and AMD gpus which means something else must be corrected to work

outstanding video mate keep up the good work!

i am using Samsung 256GB stick, same the one you show in your setup. Install batocera-x86_64-37-20230617.img using old Dell laptop Vostro, with usb as dafult boot drive. Computer will not boot. Any help Thanks

Will this work plugged on my Nvidia Shield Pro? How good can I expect the performance to be? 🤔

Its not working for me, cant get wifi and bluetooth, works then doesn't, tried loads of times, rolled back versions, got me beat, days at it now, thinking of trying another os, anybody got any help

@Wagner's TechTalk can you give me a link to download games like ps3 psp and other retro games

Would I be able to run batocera off my usb but the games off one of my externals?

Hi Wagner, Where can i download game images, for example for PS1 or Gamboy Advance?

The true reason to buy any of these retro devises or console is that they come with 100,000 + games which i wouldn't have to download as they come pre-installed. Some people in some countries are lucky in this sense cause they have unlimited very high speed internet plan at reasonable price so they can download 5 to 10 TB of data like nothing. At my place we are using 5 mb plan as there is nothing else available.

So if you have internet just buy a big drive and setup your own retroarch, batocera or launchbox etc with full library of games.

You can just buy gamesir controllers to enjoy some games on android phones itself.

I love you man. You're a superstar in my books...

Dude!!! So freaking detailed. I learned a lot from this video.

Thanks so much for the time you took to do this. I appreciate you bro.

I made a Batocera build on exactly the same size and model flash drive several months ago. I just recently cloned the build to a 512GB Micro SD card. The clone (upgrade) process is super simple. Clone to larger drive with Balena Etcher and expand the partition to fill full storage capacity on target drive with GParted on any Linux OS or GParted Live USB. There are several partitioning programs to expand the partition in Windows if that's your thing. You can find complete BIOS packs specifically for Batocera builds with a bit of online searching. I generally dump the full BIOS packs into any new build so I don't have to find them later if needed. Most Batocera BIOS packs found online come with very simple instructions on where to put the bios files. I'm working on a similar Retrobat build that does basically the same thing but from inside a Windows OS.

To those lucky enough to have gotten an odroid h2 before it stopped being in production the pc build of batocera if already installed on the source drive will boot up saturn stutters its to be expected being complicated dreacast seems playable psp works Don't have God of War on it ,ps2 plays ps3 does too, haven't tested others like n64 yet

Can place batocera on a usb, but install it directly to the SSD after setup? I know the idea is to have a portable emulation device, but I'd like to actually dedicate an entire PC to batocera and I have to imagine it would run a lot faster if it was running directly from and SSD rather than USB, right?

Thanks

The only thing im not good at is finding the bios files.

Great tutorial and I was wondering if you have had a issue with flashing where my 256gb stick only had 5gb left after flashing any idea what I did wrong

dis video.
I wonder where to download those games you have added to batocera. Please "link

My Batocera on pendrive doesnt save user settings when power off. What's wrong?

Ok I have Batocera on an external hard drive and I love it. But I also have a 4TB 2.5" internal hard drive with nothing on it and an old PC with no hard drive. I would like to install batocera on there as well. How can I install a fresh install of Batocera on this drive? I don't have a sata to USB cable or anything like that. Is there a way I can install it? Would the best way to install a portable Windows 10 on a USB drive then boot up with that USB drive then install on the internal hard drive?
