He was right. My system sucks. Time to upgrade it. Thanks for the video!

[@craigprocter1232]

awesome video - and timely as well! Thank you.

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

Thanks for watching ! It took me forever to make this video I’m glad people are enjoying it!

Just as a heads up: Piping curl to bash is a VERY insecure thing to do, especially as root. Make absolutely sure you trust the other end, and even then check what curl is spitting out first. Bash is the program you're typing into to run commands. You are telling bash to grab the text output of a website, then whatever text gets spat out, run that in another instance of bash You are basically giving a website permission to do literally anything to your batocera box, including install malware.

would it only destroy batocera or also my windows bc i have batocera and my main windows on the same pc when you know what i mean?

[@tepafray]

@matrox1233 Destroy everything. From batocera you can, at minimum, format and erase any drive. However, I believe batocera can do ntfs formatted drives, which Windows uses. So unless your drive is encrypted, I also get full read/write access to all your files. If you want to check if a script is trying to do something funny to your other os', look for calls to /dev/sd and /dev/nvmen Batocera, and linux in general, represent nearly all connected storage devices as files in this format in /dev/. Everything batocera needs should already be mounted, so any script touching these is grnerally a major red flag.

[@matrox1233]

@@tepafray alr so what your recommendation should I do that?

[@JourneysEnd]

hey man, I love your videos-- super informative. I'm building my batocera machine on a beelink ser7 mini PC and it's been great overall with only some issues here and there I'm still troubleshooting. One of the issues is the Kodi Media Center. It seems to essentially crash my pc whenever I click on it. Do you know why that might be and/or how to fix it? Also a video on using the Kodi Media Center as a home media server would be super helpful. Most existing kodi videos seem to be pretty old.

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

Hmmm I’ve never had any issue with Kodi like that but I will take a look into it!

[@ll_spud]

Another great video! Love it

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

Thanks! I appreciate you for watching!

[@ll_spud]

Can u please help me. Do u know how to disable bd prochot in batocera? I use throttlestop in Windows but don't know how to do it on batocera.?My lenovo m720q usff + T1000 gpu doesn't work properly in batocera. The cpu speed drops down to 800mhz due to having a gpu. Thanks

[@leelee7334]

I wonder how good is the ps2 and ps3 updater. If we could get one for vita3k

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

I haven’t tried them yet! I’ll see if there is any performance difference and let you know!

[@misael4096]

awesome!

[@-Jamie]

How to delete applications after installing plz

[@SilverTester]

That... was actually a good question.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

I don't know much about the pro version of Batocera. I just assumed the apps showcased in the video are what you get from the upgrade.

[@Yuriel1981]

So my dude Casa OS is like a NAS and Program management OS like Truenas Scale or Proxmox. You can run many different VMs or native apps like Home Assistant and Jellyfin or Plex. Even NVR hosting.

[@fizzletits3561]

i think i now know less than i did before i watched the video but it was fun im trying to really learn about the unknowns on this list i like your videos and i am excited about batocera capabilities on older motherboards and sbc's

[@fizzletits3561]

i have guitars, i need guns for duck hunt

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

🤣🤣 Thanks for the comment and I got guns I need guitars 😭

[@jqweary]

What theme are you running?

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

In this video it’s Comic- Scrap! I think there are 2 versions but I have a video theme review of this specific one!

[@MotownBatman]

New Sub; Dryden, Mich. Well done Sir, BATOCERA is Killer, look up the RGS Build, its Tweaked as a Stuffed Base

[@twisteddancer7773]

My red thunder keyboard will no longer work on Batocera i have tried everything to fix the problem

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

Dang I hate to hear that ! I might be able to help but I need some info! Have you confirmed the keyboard works on other devices ?

[@twisteddancer7773]

​@@KevsBatoceraBuildsYes it works fine on other devices. It's a keyboard and mouse combo. The mouse does work but the keyboard doesn't. I have tried deleting the retro arch config files but still not working. Many thanks for your help and your channel

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

@twisteddancer7773 I’m going to do some quick testing and research real quick that’s the combo that comes with the 1 dongle?

[@twisteddancer7773]

@@KevsBatoceraBuilds Yes one dongle for the keyboard and mouse. Thank you sir

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

Wow information is pretty scarce on that but I’m gonna order one from Amazon right now they are such a good deal and I will see if I can replicate and or solve this issue

[@devanshu3896]

5:36 yea i do edge, like daily

[@Nodster]

I am not sure why some of that stuff is even in there to be fair. Things like CasaOS, Portainer and Docker are more for running home servers for an extensive list of things like your own cloud storage or media servers or computer backups etc that list is extensive to be fair but not really something that should be considered to be run under Batocera in my opinion. Just because people can does not mean they should lol. Probably the most relevant things to install will be all the gaming stuff but even then It is probably better to go the the route of a SteamOS like operating system maybe something like Chimera OS or Bazzite etc and use EmuDeck for retro gaming as those OS's are setup to work better out of the box with Steam compared to Batocera.

[@KevsBatoceraBuilds]

At some point around the halfway mark of the video I say something similar about not understanding how a lot of it would be used! Some of the stuff is super useful though, especially for people who know and love batocera and just want to add a little extra or something new!

[@Nodster]

@@KevsBatoceraBuilds Yeah I can see all the gaming stuff and probably Google Chrome :p I joke F Chrome but a web browser for sure. A good addition is a music player too, can listen to all my 80s music rofl.

[@zipeee1]

I've seen people on the batocera discord request casaos and jellyfin server. Some people want to use 1 machine for multiple purposes. "Should not be" is subjective.

[@SilverTester]

​@@Nodsterthe way i see it, batocera is becoming more of an OS alternative to the ultra spyware windows instead of a basic linux distro. You can have a batocera usb drive doing whatever you need cuz its that much versatile. You dont need to use and abuse all the options, but having the options available is fcking great.

[@Nodster]

@@SilverTester This seems like a lot of hoops to jump through to achieve what can be done in less steps with another distro that is more general purpose or more gaming centric + everyday use. Batocera was clearly designed with one purpose in mind and outside of adding basic stuff like music player, web browser, video player etc this just seems little square peg round hole really. outside of 3 people who is really going to require Docker and Portainer on an OS designed for retro gaming when there are better options available? As I said stuff like a video player I get it but everything else is somewhat illogical really. I guess people are going to go above and beyond because they can :D Also F Windows, that did not even enter the equation because Batocera does retro gaming better anyway.

Edge is built on Chromium. Pretty sure Firefox is as well. Choice is an illusion.

[@Jojopiez]

Firefox is not based on chromium. I will add though, they are paid big money by google to make google the default search engine in firefox. Librewolf and floorp would be more private than default firefox.
