Thousand Of RETRO Games For FREE! Batocera Super Clean 1TB On A POWERFUL Mini PC!

[@Madlittlepixel]

*FYI AceMagic/AceMagician/Kamrui brands are completely out of China... there have been recent reports of malware being preinstalled on their PC's. They have claimed it was a one time issue and the problem has been resolved. Going forward I will not do videos on their products just out of precaution as there is no recourse against a company like that. Do your due diligence before and after buying a PC from a company based out of China who operates under several names and can easily rebrand the next day without worry...

I got this 1tb build a month ago but I put it on a 2tb ssd and hdd and added additional games that were missing from my collection (including switch games), now it's closer to 1 and a half tb full, got around 400gb left and I am stil adding more games to it. I did do my own build but these had all the arcade games so I used this as my base and improved/personalised it.

[@scherge]

BoredGameDad knows what he's doing. I checked out way too many retro build images over the years, and his images are always among the best, with only very little adjustments and customization required to fit my needs.

[@gregghernandez2714]

I downloaded this build, and yeah it took a few days, but appears to be worth it. I mean 1 TB of games, that is quite a bit, especially if you want to use this in an arcade build. One game that it does include which sealed the deal for me is ICO for PS2. It is highly underrated as far as I am concerned. I remember loving that game. That poor kid with horns locked in some ancient tomb, and he rescues a ghost (of all things) and they have to find a way out. It was very immersive from what I remember.

[@derz3506]

I have a question as Im sure you can tell since im hitting you up in a random comment but any help would be awesome. I downloaded an image off A.P. and once it finished on bittorrent the file is now in .rar instances and the file is already unzipped with 115 files making up the download. In all the videos ive watched the file once downloaded is still zipped and they go in and unzip it to then grab the .img file and put that into etcher. There has got to be something im doing wrong but I am currently stuck figuring this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as im stuck .thank you and hope your day is going great.

[@kyles3335]

I love batocera. What I use on all my builds

[@marvelus10]

I wish one of these llittle mini PCs would have a component or RGB output for CRT gaming.

[@tolishaws]

❤

[@CommodoreFan64]

You can get displayport, or HDMI to component converters, but you need to be careful of resolutions, refresh rates as many consumer CRT TV won't accept what is coming from the PC.

[@boredgamedad]

Thanks for the review, Ron! I DO need to clean up those few gameslists. Arcade Punks may have to update the name to "Mostly Clean" haha! I hope you enjoy playing it and I'm happy to have accidentally resolved your Daphne dilemma!

[@hemiodonnell1347]

Thanks for your all your effort mate. Just wondering roughly how long does it take to burn the image to an ssd?

[@boredgamedad]

@@hemiodonnell1347 That's highly dependent on the drive speed, but I'd say expect a few hours. It definitely won't be days or anything like that.

[@hemiodonnell1347]

It took about 2 hours, loving the build. I have added quite a lot to it now. Can I ask, what scraper did you use? I like how the box art is blended with a screenshot. I can't seem to scrape my new titles like that.

[@boredgamedad]

@@hemiodonnell1347 I'm glad you're enjoying it! I downloaded the ARRM scraper. It takes some set-up but it's fantastic! I believe I have my setting on Mix 2. You'll need to set up a Screen Scraper account as well. There's another scraper I like that's just called Skraper UI that is excellent as well, but that one pretty much forces you to scrape whole systems at a time. Not great if you just add one game and need to scrape it.

[@skideric]

Just got that Image on to a 1 TB SSD today! Also the GC & Naomi Fixes.Loving It!

[@JasonStPierre]

is it posted anywhere?

[@anFy81]

your editing on this video is awesom - thank you!

[@BoomGiggity]

7:15 - Looks like the duplicates are from different countries, so there might be blood/gore differences.

[@Lando00100]

Its modeled after the acemagician ryzen 5. I was wondering when a company would use that case style. Its a very novelty design but its kind cool and fun to use.

[@nikopro6462]

I think people don’t seem to realise (including myself till recently) that you can simply emulate on your laptop (including Mac) just about anything and high powered stuff upto GameCube also

[@franticj67]

You can go beyond the GC. There are good emulators for Xbox (and I believe 360), PS2 of course, Wii, wiiu and even the Switch. Not sure about the later PlayStations and xbox's though.

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

@nikopro6462 Many people would be very surprised at how many games can be played on just a Fire TV stick.😜 Play On

[@dwarfy2k264]

​@@mybachhertzbaud3074i always see you posting around but a firestick isn't playing any further then ps1. Its a waste to buy

[@brave7033]

. Where's the link to Batocera?!

[@raxadian]

Batocera is just awesome.

[@TheIcePhoenixx]

I've got a 14 tb launchbox build.

[@mixedhairless]

Hey fam, was snatcher on the list?

[@RichRetr0]

How in the HECK did they manage to fit all that onto a 1tb build!? What voodoo is this? lol

[@DebitAdams]

It's not that hard. I made a similar build but more ps2 was heavy, and it was just north of 1TB.

[@DebitAdams]

@TURBO-RETRO all my ps1s were chd 😆 I only used cover art for games. Videos take up too much space.

[@lucykaede5863]

Stupid question but since this is a mini PC build, can this be plug and play on a TV?

[@mjdf122]

I have a hard drive that emulates all consoles and their game libraries from the 1st generation to Now so many options/ways to emulate

[@jay88fitness18]

Where do you go to download this Batocera build?

[@phishwak]

Arcadepunks

[@jimr6846]

Is there anything like this from Atari,arcade to Dreamcast with NA games only? There is so many of these I am lost

[@Ronsilk-pu5hr]

I wish I can get someone to make me one of these but heavily focused on most RPGs from every system.

[@RichRetr0]

Also, whats the name of the theme used in that build? I really like that one!

[@boredgamedad]

It's CKAU Book. It's my favorite too! Definitely dig through the theme settings. It's got so much variety it's like having multiple themes at once!

[@RichRetr0]

@@boredgamedad awesome! Is it available on retrobat??

[@boredgamedad]

@@RichRetr0 I believe it is compatible!

[@zandanshah]

How do you go back from a game to main screen? With a Joystick?

[@leshanjefferson4190]

Ok I got to rewatch. This build look decent

[@massimilianociaccia7033]

Pinbal FX3 for Linux Batocera, does it exist? Thanks.

[@tyranno4192]

Is this the best console in your opinion ? I want to buy one system to use it with my tv , not super expensive, but has to be good without games lagging, cause i know they advertise thousands of games but most emulators lagging. Which one do you recommend me buying ?

[@Saetun.]

I'm lost. i downloaded the build using torrent. But since its not a .img file Balena doesnt see it. Can someone point me in the right direction. All the forum threads seem to aimed at those who have at least some exposure to the process.

[@jaymethysell5111]

I need to get me one of these mini PCs with a pre made build on it.

[@isabellanievesthegaminggir6558]

I really love it

[@venturavip]

Did you have to set it up, or just plug and play? Thanks

[@Snake-eyez97]

You should do a tutorial on how to add steam games on batocera

[@KetsubanSolo]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it basically involves downloading Steam via flatpak, logging in, and getting your games that way.

[@JerrardJDDavis-gy9hh]

Crash Bandicoot The Wrath Of Cortex Is My Favorite Game

[@MORRISON1976]

Does this run through your tv?

[@tolishaws]

So rad!

[@roberthernandez6557]

I'm new to all this. So does purchasing this mini pc come with these retro games or do I need to download them onto it?

[@boredgamedad]

The image is a separate download. You can either swap out the internal drive with this (or any other) Batocera PC image, or run the image from a portable hard drive. One incredibly helpful thing to know before you make any purchases is that you'll need a 1TB (or more) drive to write the image on, but you'll also need another drive that's at least 1TB to download the image on. 2TB would be better. The image is downloaded as a series of compressed RAR files, so you'll need one drive for that. Then you have to use WinRAR or 7zip to extract the image itself from the RAR files. If you have two 1TB drives, you'll need to extract the image onto your second drive, because you won't have room on the first. Once the image is extracted and you have a .img file, you can delete the RAR files. That should give you a blank 1TB drive that you can now use BalenaEtcher to write the .img file on.

@@boredgamedad im pretty sure this explanation is exactly what I needed to see right now to get this endeavor working finally. Im going to try with this in mind after work tonight. From one dad to another thank you !

@@derz3506 You're most welcome!

[@derekswitzer9624]

Awesome!! Did you d/l from AP recently? Cause this build looks awesome 😎👍 hoping for decent seeds

[@goonied]

Forgive my newbie ignorance but if i have an external harddrive and running windows, after windows boots up can i just open the external harddrive and click a file to get Botacera running? Or is it much more complicated than that such as changing the bios etc... basically is it plug and play instantly from windows and external HD?

[@DanzoSrife]

Pretty nice! But question, why is a lot of builds removing the Mame arcade from their builds these days?

[@PINTO2O2O]

if you dl from arcade punks do i need a vpn for my isp?

Hey do you mod systems for other people?

Never seen 'Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes' on these things. Someone ever do a dump of this Turboduo game?🤔🤔

The Daphne stuff makes this kinda tempting

[@ryannamelast9835]

I think this is the one

[@noyukikun]

dosnt look like it has a gpu so how tf you gunna run things like the saturn or even normal af pcs games off steam lol most stuff atleast wants you to have somthing close to a 1080 xD to run nicely...

Not bad, quite a few duplicates... but not bad for a free build.

[@85herooftheday]

Messed with this today. Batocera seems awesome, until you actually try and configure RetroArch. They don't seem to like you trying to change things as simple as hotkeys or shaders. As soon as you quit back to batocera, it reverts everything back. Makes is massively unusable if you want any level of control. Very clearly meant to be "plug and play".

[@boredgamedad]

If you press "start" from the main screen you get a popup for options. If you go to Game Options there is a Per System Advanced Configuration option that includes many of the RetroArch options in it. Any changes made there are retained upon reboot. You're very correct about Batocera being slightly less customization friendly than some other options. I like this for it's simplicity and ease of use, but I totally get that it isn't necessary the best for everyone.

[@pooksthepossum]

These suck. Build your own if you truly want zero effups. Anyone can download romsets, copy and paste them to corresponding folders, auto scrape them or download media sets. Choose a theme you like and bam. The mini PC is awesome though!!!!

[@Chepakishui]

These builds can be nice as a jumping off point for removing games you really don't care for and adding some that you do want though were not originally part of the build. This said, the issue is that too many people have been wanting stuff that is just plug and play, they don't know how to make their own build and don't want to bother learning. Or they'd rather take the time they would spend making their personal build and spend it playing one that is premade and good enough for them.
