[@onebigbadgamer]

This Batocera video tutorial that helped me create an amazing retro gaming pc system with over 100,000+ games. Thanks Jamie.

[@JustJamie1983]

Hey, that's no problems at all. Enjoy 😉

[@mauriceblackwell8539]

Another great tutorial, thanks Jamie 👍🏾😎

[@JustJamie1983]

No shortage of these today. Thanks 😊

[@igorgodfig]

Thank you for the video, I could learn a lot from it! Unfortunately Sega Saturn is not running smoothly here as it is for you. I could not find the problem yet. A lot of games have relevant glitches and some don't even run, like Bug!, Alien Trilogy, and others. I have tried with all the emulators as well. If somebody has any tips I would be grateful! Thanks once more!

[@JustJamie1983]

Hey, no worries. All I suggest is trying with another emulator/retroarch core..saturn Emulation can be a little buggy at times. I believe Bizhawk is the best for Saturn. If you have that option. Give it ago. Advanced options/Emulator.

[@igorgodfig]

@@JustJamie1983 thank you once more! I will definetly try it, I still need to install add/install it!

Just found this channel, great South West accent there Jamie 😂 question does this system support WII? and is it possible to use the original Wii controllers with a USB IR receiver bar that I have seen? Thanks in advance Alan

[@JustJamie1983]

Hey Alan, it does support with and yes you can use that controller too.

why is the storage on userdata only 500MB while my HDD is 320GB? how to solve this bro

[@JustJamie1983]

One hdd right Bro?

[@stevenwex8966]

Doesn't work for me, tried on a USB and Dual Boot and after the first splash screen just get a blank screen, so I tried Lakka off a USB never work either but did in a new computer. I have an Intel ITX thin with a i7 3770s and 8GB of RAM. Intel the motherboard brand. My system just doesn't like Linux OS, must be the motherboard because it wouldn't be CPU or the Intel HD4000. Windows 10 is still running fine... Woke up and thought I would try a BOIS update, the Intel website had taking down the BOIS update support page so I had to go to a 3rd website. Interestingly I notice some BOIS were labeled Windows 8 and other were label Independent Of OS, tried BIOS 99 and how I have Windows 10 and Batocera working in dual boot with Grub2Win. Needs a little of a clean up, but I'm in...... I'm happy.... edit...How I don't have sound from the HDMI, but I do get sound from the JACK, seem to be a reported issue with updating bios to 109, spent hours messing with BIOS setting, even if a had sound only in Batocera on the HDMI that would do..... I live with it, I'll just have to leave the JACK in the TV.....edit...USB 3.0, MinSata WiFi, on top of the no sound on HDMI all stop working after Bios Update, so I do a clean install of Windows 10 on a blank HDD see if it fix's the issue.... Other then that the performance of Batocera is ready good, I'm getting better performance with Gamecube and PS2 with this Linux OS then I was with RetroBat and windows 10, and being able to LINK the Batocera Rom folders to my second internal drive is a really nice touch, but I did have to edit the Rom folder names on the second drive... Glad I try it, even if my motherboard has lost some of it function because of a BIOS update, or was it Grub2Win??......Edit...my fun is over, was trying the BIOS again and it stopped booting, download a newer BIOS and it never installed, maybe it partly installed... It's a Bios issue, nothing to do with Batocera, checked ebay I found a new, Thin Mini ITX that's unbranded that supports 4th Gen Intel, I just happen to have i7-4790 doing nothing, now I know Batocera works well with the I3-3770s, it's worth a try and I'll get a small Intel HD upgrade at the same time. I have a mATX that I can install the i3-3770s onto. It's not by choice, but if this unbranded china board is ok, it will all work out.

[@stevenwex6797]

Replying to my own comment. The i7 3770s is installed ion the mATX and paired with a GT 1060 3GB, and I'm getting 160fps with Asset to Corsa, and the Chinese Unbranded ITX is on order. This ITX motherboard on sale on Australia eBay and AliExpress, lots of places are selling it. I thinking it's been made for a mini PC replacent. My i7 4790 mATX stop booting about six weeks ago and I've been using a SF dell with a GT1030 and a 4th gen i5 getting 30fps with Assetto Corsa, so a big jump in performance.

[@retrom8442]

great tutorial works perfect, only issue i have i like to use kodi but when i try to use a different skin (Aeon Nox) after set up of skin it just defaults back to Estuary is there a way of stopping it from doing this each time i use Batocera? thanks

[@juliancantarelli]

I'm gonna be making this next weekend (i'm waiting for a 500GB SSD). Yesterday I was making some test with a couple of flash drive and Balena throw some errors and one of the flashdrive is bricked now. Any idea what could happened? I try diskpart and other methods and didn't work.

[@fonzitheman]

Id doubt its bricked, you are probably only seeing the boot partition while the share partition is in ext4 which windows cant read. Unless it said flash failed? Also make sure you are using legit brand flash drives as no name ones are often fake in capacity so could be corrupting it. But anyway, try SD card formatter Its free.

[@RichardDotJee]

Hi Jamie! Great guide! Your guides have always helped me! One question a few days ago I updated to V38 do you think is worth to update to V39?

[@JustJamie1983]

Personally. If you are happy with v38. Stay with it. I haven't tested everything with v39 so wait for reviews to come out. Having said that I know that many people complained about bugs in v38 too.

[@fonzitheman]

Id say it may defo be worth it if you are using it on a handheld X86 64 device cause v39 finally has TDP/power setting option so saving you battery.

[@jhimz401]

sir can you help me i configured my controller on batocera 39 it works on menu but when i choose game and start playing it the analog and left, right, up, down button doesnt work, hope you can help me thanks

[@JustJamie1983]

Yup. You can either try a different API driver for your controller in Batocera. Or. Inside of Retroarch, controller map from their.

[@Kingeseryt8105]

Ok so I'm gonna get straight to the point in currently using batocera V38 and loving it but for some reason windows games at least those that work I can't seem to get a fps counter going and also temps ,when I turn on DXVK hud and DXvk feature on I get a black screen , using a HP office PC as batocera console Specs Cpu-I5 -4570 GPU - Intel HD 4600 graphics (onboard graphics) Ram-8gb DDR3 1600mhz Storage - 500gb HDD Plz any advice would help

[@labbydabby]

Ok so i have a slight issue hopefully someone can help i put batocera on a flash drive and it worked perfectly so i wiped my main harddrive of laptop deleting everything including windows to download batocera directly to the laptop which also worked but without the flash drive the batocera is running very sluggish and also cant get wifi to work at all running it directly off the laptop any ideas on why this is?

[@ilovealbundy]

Very good video! 👍 I am also a big fan of Batocera, and I have it running on two raspberries (4 and 5). I assume you are much more familiar with Batocera than I am. Do you know how to delete saved scores in Batocera? Can anybody help me?

[@JustJamie1983]

Hey there, thanks. To be honest. It's not actually something I have ever thought about.

[@KrankCZE]

Hello. After update v39 in Batocera and reboot the system I have black screen after bios. IT looks like update viped some system files or something. Does anyone havethis problem? What can I do? I have 1,5TB of games there.

[@eidolusgad3818]

The same happened to me.

[@AndyDecarli]

The Batocera install is probably corrupted. You could try installing Batocera to a new USB drive and then see if the games from the corrupted drive show up under the share folder. If they do great and just copy them to a working drive. If not then hopefully you have a backup of the game files somewhere.

[@stevenwex8966]

Add me to the list. i7 3770s with HD4000, I get the first splash screen, then a blank screen for a while then I No Signal on the screen. Tried on HDMI on two different TV's 4K and 768p, I'm done for today, maybe I'll try VGA?????

for some reason my naomi 2 and ps2 is not working even tho i did everything right.

[@igorgodfig]

Firstly, thank you very much for this completed tour, Jamie! I have a question though, because I have flashed Batocera onto a 1tb SSD and it shows that batocera is taking around 8Gb of space and the left space is unlocated, when I check it throght Windows. Is it a regular thing or do I have to fix something? Batocera works fine but I have a ton of rooms put in there yet. Thank you once more!!

[@JustJamie1983]

Normally. Batocera will do this core you. When you are in the "F1" menu. Take a look at the bottom right hand corner and it will tell you there how much space you have. Batocera format is very different to Windows.

[@igorgodfig]

@@JustJamie1983 That's true! I have just checked it and it shows the total space there... I had not noticed that, awesome! Once more, thank you so much, Jaime!

[@JustJamie1983]

@igorgodfig hey, no probs at all. Easily not seen.

[@jeroquai3170]

How can i have batocera and the roms on the same usb- or HD drive? Partition it to an ext4 for batocera and a fat32/ntfs for the rom section BEFORE i flash batocera with etcher or AFTER? I mean after will be difficult to minimize the already full partition??

[@AndyDecarli]

After you install Batocera and it boots up you will need to either put the games you want to add to Batocera on a separate USB drive on a different USB port or add the games to the internal hard drive and Batocera should be able to see the files.

[@jeroquai3170]

@@AndyDecarli Is there no way to put the roms on the same external drive as batocera so the gaming device will be portable? I mean can i change the path in batocera later?

[@AndyDecarli]

After you boot Batocera once you could try starting your computer normally and see if the Batocera drive is detected in the My Computer or device manager menu. Then if your lucky there should be a share folder which is eight gigs in size. Copy eight gigs of files to that folder then shutdown Windows and boot up Batocera again. Now see if the games you added to the share folder show up in Batocera or not. If you have large games for PlayStation 2 or 3 you might have to repeat this process many times or the game might not even fit in the eight gigs folder.

Hey maybe you can help. Iam using a pi5 with batocera 39. I have a vertical monitor. Everthing is working great. Issue I am having is with Model 3. It still displaying a horiziontal image wich goes off the screen. With Daphine, I was able to define the x and y resolution. Supermodel says you can enter XResolution and YResolution in the ini file, but everytime I do it the the supermodel INI keeps overwriting my changes. How can I put in my own resolution and have it stick. Thanks.

Example Daphne all I do go in the command file and switch the x and y resolution values and it works. For Model 3 I cant find it. I found the supermodel INI file and tried to set resolution, but it keeps getting overwritten when I launch the game. I havent found anyone who can help with this.

[@JustJamie1983]

That's fine but different versions of Batocera have different systems.

[@fonzitheman]

@@JustJamie1983 If you mean as in the older version of Batocera you use, the less systems it supports, yeah. 👍 Obviously Batocera for diff chipsets are different, like for X86 64,amlogic, the diff RK chip devices etc. As some are way weaker than others so wont support as many systems. But for X86 64,like PC's,which also cover handheld PC's,which include the steam deck, these use the same img. So versions are only different for those if you are using an older version of Batocera.

like these friends, excuse me for adding the systems like cps1 cps2 cps3 as it is done since there are no such folders

[@fonzitheman]

Batocera doesnt have those seperate by default although you could add them. Otherwise they just go in the FBNeo folder. If you want to keep them seperate you could simply add sub folders manually I guess. But I do wish Batocera had an option to keep them seperate, like they have for 32x and FDS.

[@JustJamie1983]

Hmm. It's a risk.

[@AndyDecarli]

The safest way to update would be to install the latest version of Batocera to a new USB drive. Then after it boots plug in the old USB drive with Batocera and just copy over games from the share folder to the new drive. Then see if the games run better, worse, or the same. If you don't like the new version then just keep using 38. I weirdly only like version 35 for the easy controller mapping.

[@stevie-b]

​@AndyDecarli thanks, I didn't really want to copy 8tb of roms over but I installed v38 on a new drive then added a few games then updated to v39 and it was fine,then done the same on my 8tb and didn't lose anything,does v35 run everything upto ps2 and xbox

Batocera 35 supports PlayStation 2, 3, Game Cube, Wii, and the original Xbox, but not Xbox 360 or PlayStation Vita. Later versions of Batocera do support those systems.
