Install Batocera On The Raspberry Pi 4 Full Setup Guide - Retro Gaming Goodness!

[@tuliocastro2302]

That was FAN-TASTIC!!!! Simply my first contact with Batocera and I got amazed. Thanks for the tutorial. You really made things very easy for me!

[@CorbTheCoinBoi]

My brother in Christ I’ve had so many issues trying to install etc. error 256 when opening games and can’t access the IP address via windows due to “refused to connect”. This guide made it look SOOO easy.

[@mr.erdnuss]

I have installed batocera on my Intel Nuc8i3. Dreamcast, Gamecube and N64 games running great on it. I love it.

[@sanmacorz]

Hey I don't know if anyone else would like to see a comparison between Retropie, Recalbox, Batocera and Lakka, he did a video for the first two but that was a long time ago!

[@orlinkunchev3146]

My thoughts exactly!!! I pretty much think that Retropie is master race, but I would enjoy the video! It's just that retropie and retroflag are so slow in development, I'm pretty sure once retropie is available for the rpi4, sales will go through the rough!

[@eddiejager]

You absolutely read my mind! I'd love to see the comparison

[@pooyafitness]

I was thinking of that.

[@zeke7515]

@@orlinkunchev3146 Back when I got my Ras3 It was king, but Bato is looking to be the new flavor of the decade.

[@johnwayne7843]

Agree 100% thanks

[@IRWPD]

That theme at the end is the best looking one I have ever seen. Thanks for letting us know about it.

[@nicolaslarosa]

Thanks, its called epic noir and I have updated, you can find new systems now. Scince its designed for retropie and someone forked to batocera we have to wait him to pull the changes from the original branch, or you can download manually and isntal by yourself

[@IRWPD]

@@nicolaslarosa Awesome. Going to give it a download.

[@drsynthpattern]

Can't believe I was pulling my hair out with retropi. I have installed this on my pi400 and it's too good for words to describe.

[@ladreamin5008]

This is my first time hearing about Batocera I did the research and see I can install it on my Raspberry Pi keep up the great work!

[@Moonanomaly]

Oh man.... This tutorial is brilliant. Very easy to understand and all I need to know. Thank you for your work and greetings from Germany.

[@deathshaker0026]

Batocera is so amazing. I have been playing with for just about a year.

[@wolffactor56]

Deathshaker 00 what’s your favorite theme?

[@jamesdavies686]

Batocera is a leg up on all the others IMO

[@wolffactor56]

James Davies isn’t the latest recalbox fork based on batocera? I could be wrong

[@f65]

@@wolffactor56 Batocera is a Recalbox fork but it has been for a long time now that both OS are completly different. Baocera has got more options than Recalbox and now Batocera system is completely different in all way from Recalbox. In general, people prefer Batocera.

[@wolffactor56]

François-Ferenc FEJES I actually like recalbox a bit more interface wise. It’s been like a year since recalbox went 6.0 from that 18, I thought they forked batocera when going to 6....confusion maybe on my end. Honestly recalbox has better premade images that I rely on so 😅.

[@1337-Ramiel]

Finally a great and stable release for pi4 ! I absolutely love it.

[@metalheadmalta]

Absolutely superb ... I'll be purchasing another card and testing this out... that last theme is absolutely beautiful... thanks!

[@nicolaslarosa]

Great video! Thanks for showcasing my theme Epic Noir

[@cgmckeever]

Mr. Prime -- would love to see an updated review/comparison between RetroPi and Batocera

[@casperlad84]

thank you 4 years after initial upload :-)

[@monza27]

Can you please try some of the more demanding systems? N64, Dreamcast, Saturn etc... Great vid!

[@moisesgarciaperu]

I watch ur channel every single day there is always something I like from ur channel I hope u make more vids like this!

[@Cookiedon15]

Thanks for making this video. Been trying to look for best way to emulate and I think this is it👍

[@micksterminator3]

That click and drag from the chrome download bottom tab to the desktop 🤯

[@JayDubster]

Thanks ETA !! This guide rocks man 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@davidpaillet9739]

Thanks again, for another great video, with clear explanations and easy to follow steps. I really like your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@relaxationforbeginners2089]

You didn’t include how to change the timezone from Paris default. Also how to configure Dreamcast including the controls for Reicast. The ROCKPRO64 Image runs amazing on the gen 1 Nanopi M4. High res textures in n64 work as well. Dreamcast is flawless in 1080p. Love your work.

[@rugbybro119]

It's like you knew I needed a good tutorial for this. This should get this nub up and running now

[@toohighstrung]

I just wanna play nes snes Sega Gameboy advance and N64, when can we get GoldenEye and Conker's to run

[@portnaluinge]

great video - super concise and helpful

[@achimbottner9500]

The image does not run on the Raspberry pi 4. When loading, only comes a black screen. Loading and loading and loading. Too bad

[@sdh2383]

EpicNoir looks amazing.

[@crazedlink]

And Batocera doesn't have the Audio issue that RetroPie has?

[@Gmen2010champs]

Hey Patton, in your opinion, do you think the Pis do better with emulation than the Classic systems? I mean i thought that the SNES and NES classics did really well with the games Ive played on them. There were very few that had some issues but for the most part, no complaints. Now the PS Classic Ive had more issues with slow downs and various glitches. But would you say the Pis are a much better option over the classics? Thanks man!

[@luhensis]

Love you vids man! Quick question, does installing the software come with all the ROMS or do I need to manually download and install them. If so, where from?

[@noelpanilagao5597]

ETA can you do a video to include how to have Batocera read roms off a external hard drive please..

[@ramsesji8a]

On Systems settings has a option to use any external drive.

[@willwingrove]

I love these videos easy and reliable

[@chrisumali9841]

Thanks for the info and demo, have a great day

[@UncleCatfish]

you deserve your own holiday

[@yodamann5193]

Great work, keep it up: )

[@gam3zilla16]

Thanks this is a great tutorial. One thing that I would like to ask is can you remove the side bezels and how to do that if possible?

[@jwill7998]

I just saw a video for the G-Boy portable. Interested?

[@bonardalfin]

This!

[@elrinconderoller1560]

You cqn plug between two pc whit crossed network cable and write on Windows "\\batocera" or select batocera on network on Windows menu

[@jhk22]

Great video, got my pi 4 running. Had to change latency due to lag on the controller but otherwise great.

[@michaelmason1986]

Can you make a video on how to transfer roms using a usb on botocera please ?

[@mrlurchAU]

Hey. Only because I noticed when you downloaded Batocera, there is a GPi image? How does it compare to RetroPie?

[@Nevakonaza.]

Great guide,im going to invest in a Pi2 and use Batocera!

[@adfury]

I have a retropie weekly running. Any advantages to batocera?

[@FirstnameLastName-mr8lk]

Retropie is better than batocera but there isnt retropie for the pi 4 so for a pi 4 use batocera anything else retropie or something different

[@AnthonyVitale]

Great Video! Thanks!❤

[@asm_canucks]

i can't find the epicnoir theme… Is it because i'm running 3B plus instead of 4?

[@carlosamaya5044]

Great job !!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@shockwave.9749]

Hey ETA was hoping for some quick advice on how to hide the dreamcast bin files? I have duplicates of all the dreamcast games

[@reneg4491]

I've been using batocera for a month, great retro gaming front-end. Is there any guides on getting steam-link installed on batocera with raspberry pi4?

[@douglasharding6763]

ETA Prime I have five original xbox's, I got talked into hard moding one which did not turn out good, my question is have you or anyone adapted any other motherboards to work with the xbox

[@berberoide]

Hello! Having lots of trouble trying to get the wifi working. Once I enter to the Network settings , everything is enabled, the password is ok but the status is not connected. First time following your video it was working but now. Nothing happens. No matter how many times i restart the system. Any ideas?

[@timhewett5108]

Hi ETA Prime. Great videos. I came back to this batocera one for some help. I have batocera on my mini pc and want to connect it to a 2 player arcade setup with buttons and joysticks for mame etc. can you advise what I need and any brand recommendations? Assuming some form of encoder, cables etc but still lost in the tech jungle

[@abogreisha3714]

Hi, thank you for the easy explaining, just one thing. how to open the file manager ? on PC F1 it works but on RPI not working, i want to transfer my ROMs using flash memory or hard drive not through internet. thanks again.

[@goggyimposter1963]

Hi I done the sd card formatting and I got past the little load screen and I get passed the splash screen then I just get a black screen I am using a raspberry pi 4 8gb of ram if anyone can help that would be appreciated

[@davidheribertooyanedelp1955]

Very Good Video, Thanks.

[@Nevakonaza.]

Great Tut :)

[@edulak1]

Can you pls make a video configuring the graphics of the emulators and the resolution cuz PS1 doesn't look that great.

[@BrianThomas]

you should have used the Argon case. Great video as always. :-)

[@andrewdupuis1151]

I couldn't get work on my 4k TV I was getting no video I had to edit config file make it work. i was thinking it a bug

[@killeriders]

Thx this is working verry good !

[@patrickweggler]

Hey great video as always! Can you please make a short video on how to map the controller for n64?

[@beetwing]

One of the thing we would like to have reviewed when emulation is tested is the latency(input lag) for each emulator. It’s really what is bugging us from playing for some emulators

[@untoldstories372]

Edit, Just worked like a charm

[@wolfbor1211]

How would you add the safe shutdown script. If you have the pie station case for it!?

[@dravin136]

Can you please tell me how did you installed games on your pc because you never showed that part. You showed that you had pre installed games on your pc and then you transfered them in your sd card.

[@dannyfiumano6320]

Love this tutorial! Having a bit of trouble though. Running games like MvC1 is resulting in screen tearing. Any idea why this is happening?

[@foonsped865]

I am having a hard time over wifi for my hidden private network. Do you have a video for adding games via usb?

[@davidsonmoraes1479]

Could you make a video showing how to solve the audio problem with the Batocera on the Raspberry pi 3?

[@ricardo_mendes]

Hello, i want to thank you for your tutorials, i got a problem scraping since i start using a flashdrive to store my games...do you know why???

[@dallase1]

You can't copy files to the Raspberry Pi with in the Raspberry Pi?

Can you use USB to install games?

[@willisuppe7801]

hi Could you make a detailed video on how to download psx games and play on batocera with all that bios

[@robertohillcantu2121]

great video, i got a quick question for you, im bulding a 4 player pedestal arcade cabinet but every time i start a game player 1 become 2, did you came across that issue by any chance? all 4 players are set up with the same usb bord style (same brand)

[@iRlaugh]

What about a power button for an arcade set up using Batocera on a Pi 4?

[@JAFOpty]

connecting a 4k TV and I am stuck at 30hz. Tried everything, even editing the config files. Nothing works. Anyone suggestions? tnx

[@GoodKindaGuy]

Awesome!!!

[@pauloborges468]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial

[@GermanLopez-CreativeGeek]

Great video! Where did you get the ice tower cooler?

[@MrThomasM14]

how do you get the fan working with bactocera? I have a Pi 5 with an Ice Tower Cooler and the fan does not turn on

[@erraddict]

I recently installed Batocera on my RPi4 but the bezels aren't showing up

[@joselamboglia5778]

After the Batocera Joystick on the screen it went black and is still black? Any suggestions?

[@raindrainxi]

Is there a tutorial on how to access the ext4 drive via Windows Explorer? The wifi transfer is awfully slow on my part.

[@zx322a]

what format do u format ur microsd card? ntfs? fat? fat32? or others? thanks

[@dr_vendetta8361]

Jon when using etcher it gets auto formatted to the correct file system

[@Blafily]

How do I change to English..I got the in game menus all English .but game descriptions are still in Spanish

[@erraddict]

I bought a Pi 4, does it need to be the "B" model or will the non-B work? Also, if I'm installing this in a Ms Pac Man cabinet, how many arcade buttons will I need at minimum + the one joystick?

[@Lemonade197]

Can you do a video wich explain how to connect the ice tower cooler into a RPi 4 and also the name of model used in this video, thanks .

[@shockwave.9749]

Do you prefer Batocera to Retro Pi in 2022? Will be playing Ps1, dreamcast, GBA, SNES, Genesis, so on so forth

[@Igniz99]

Hi ETA PRIME, i would like to ask if you can do a tutorial on a dual boot system between windows 10 and batocera? is it difficult? since i have not seen anyone trying that.

[@wolffactor56]

Ivan Ayala definitely would be cool if possible

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

Not exactly a dual boot, but you can install Batocera on a flash drive and boot from it. If the flash drive is plugged in when you turn on the PC, then Batocera boots. If it is not plugged in, Windows 10 boots.

[@edulak1]

Everytime I use Batocera from my USB pendrive on my PC the wifi never works, any idea what can be?

[@2hrsweekly922]

at this point would you recommend batocera for an arcade 1up upgrade?

[@MD-sc1jk]

when I try to scrape I got a message telling me that API closed for non-register members :(. I assume the scrape server must be swamps with requests.

[@chunkylover5367]

ETAPrime: if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below... (in every video)... Me: Looks for a single ETA reply....nope.

[@ThePbrook1967]

How can I access my game roms from an external hard drive??

[@luiscastro292]

Did you Know you can play online dreamcast games on the pi 4 with batocera, please make a video of it

[@romhtk6912]

Hi, is it possible to play with Batocera on my laptop, while Batocera is install on my rpi4. Only because at the moment I don't have a screen except the one on my laptop

[@moshesolo7198]

Hi i wanted to ask you didn't mention how is Batocera performance VS retro PI

[@joel6221]

I'm currently using Wofanoz's 128gb image ... however i can't figure out how to SSH into the pi to add/remove roms. Does this method of installation make this easier?

[@permanentrampage]

Hey i have got my first raspberry pi 4b and i want to install only batocera. The card is need boot first to install the ios or no ? I use only the ssd card with batocera ? Thanks

[@gagailos]

Why use balena etcher instead of pi imager?

[@mrtravoiceburges]

Yeah but there's no arcade folder where do you put the arcade games

[@sixinbuddslamy6440]

Please can you make a video about how to do ps1 games look better (smoothing) on batocera

[@KageShi]

Does this do PSX better than RetroPie? I can't get psx to work on it but everything else works great aside from a mame or two.
