Thank you, it worked for me (and batocera even works better). I didn't need the dev keys file which I didn't found.

[@classicvwbugs]

Now that yuzu is gone, what would happen if we try this method today? I did this setup months back, so I have yuzu already on my Batocera. But for some reason my ryujinx seems broken, no games launch. If I did this method again to reinstall, would it overwrite and delete yuzu?

Just did this today, 12th May 2024, and it installed all 5 emulators, including yuzu on Batocera 39

Hi Jordan. I'm having the same issues where my games open and the close instantly. I don't know what happened. I don't want to cause more damage but you said you didn't delete anything and just did the command again and they started working. Is there anything else I need to do?

To those who are facing issues in getting controllers working after the game launch. You must first configure the controller. Press F1, go to Applications, yuzu-config, then select from the menu Emulation, Configure, Controls. In that screen, you may configure your controller and save the profile. Also, be sure everything is working as expected trying each button and checking in the screen accordingly.

Switch mode controllers have issues in Batocera in general. They disconnect and can’t reconnect properly. Make sure you’re using it in X mode.

Did it on mine which was 35 and it worked fine. That's what I tested it on prior to filming this video with the fresh setup. Not sure why it wouldn't download them. You have Wi-Fi connected right? I know I know but I have to ask. Did you get the download screens as shown in the video?

I updated from version 36 to 37 and it works much better for me emulators that did not work before or worked regularly (gamecube, ps2, wii) installed on a sixth generation intel nuc i5. You may need to install the bios package for version 37 for the new emulators to appear

Unfortunatley i cannot awnser you question related to the Intel CPUs minimum requirements but If you go with a Raspberry pi 5 you can in fact add a external GPU.
