So nice video man ! Keep it up my best wishes
Thanks!
Hello, thanks for the info, I just upgrade to batocera 37 and with some emulators the Sel + B option isn’t available, for example for SFXTEKKEN and I just can’t remap the input controls, is there another way to enter the emulators setup? Thanks!!
Is it possible to exit all emulators with one and the same ESC key?
What version of Batocera are you running I don’t have all of the same options as you for the psx advanced options tried with mednafen but it has dots all over it when playing crash bandicoot
I'm using Batocera Beta 32 (mainly for Steam). Batocera 31 should work well. For menu options in Batocera 31, hold down the A button for a few seconds and the menu options should pop up.
Around the 12:30 mark you discuss some of the hot keys in the instruction manual. Is there no way to customize this? I’ve always liked using my triggers as the save state and load state but it’s set to take screenshots or change the shaders. I’ve tried a few times to change the retro arch config but it keeps defaulting back. Can you advise on this? Thanks.
In Controller Settings from the Main Menu, you can set your gamepad buttons any way you want to.
after config in retro arch,go to save configuration an it should save it its in root menu on retro arch to save new config.
@@lilbigkidsmedia8652 thanks for your answer! We’ve come a long way in a year in retro gaming. Between this channel and Russ at Retro Game Corps, I was able to figure all of this out and consider myself an advanced user now.
@Batocera Nation
Thank you for this. Can Duckstation (the new PS1 and android emulator) be configured with Batocera without any problems?
Duckstation needs the ROMs to be in a certain format. If you have your PS1 ROMs in the correct format, Duckstation will work in Batocera.
@@BatoceraNation thank you for response. I hope to do a project about this.
@@MattStevens9824 Eventually I will. Sometime in April.
Hello, first of all, thank you very much for the contribution !! In the video, the option "Texture filtering" appears in the psx emulator, but in batocera 30 it does not appear. how can i change it? in mednafen emulator
Hello Maxi. It is there. Make sure that the Emulator you choose is set on Mednafen. Then when you load up a game (any game), press your Hotkey plus the A key simultaneously on your gamepad. That will bring you up to the Retroarch Menu. From the menu choose "Options.". From there scroll down until you see "Texture Filtering"
@@BatoceraNation thanks!!
First, which version of Bat are u using because it looks great! Second, which imahe is that? Can u teach us that please?
I'm using Batocera Beta 33. The theme that I'm using in Batocera Reloaded. Look for my tutorial Advanced Features Vol. 1.
how do u load roms then select what emulator u wanna use for all games
Can i ask you a favor?
I wanna know how high temperature it will get when running some wii, wii u or even Ps3 games on it. can it show the temp in realtime like Msi Afterburner?
Unfortunately it can't. I just go into System Settings then Information and scroll down until I see the Temperature. Furthermore, every System is different and will run the games cooler or hotter. On my 4800U Ryzen the hottest games are the PS3 games. Upper 70s and lower 80s. Every thing else runs cooler.
@@BatoceraNation Then i have try it.
i've been trying playing some game on RPCS3 and cpu get 92 gpu only 65😅
that's why i want to know, well Thanks
I will need to set up a different version of melonDS or some other DS emulator, because the one that comes included automatically translates to a foreign language and Desume is a bit rough in terms of proper emulation.
If you look at the tutorial Advanced Features in Batocera Vol 1, it will tell you how to change System region so that you can pick the right region. That might do the trick.
Brother one question do you sell preloaded pc with games on it ?
If not its a good business plan
I could get into legal trouble for it. If I lived in China, I could get away with it.
@@BatoceraNation i didnt know i am sorry its all to much and looks to diffucult as well
The only knowledge i have is with mugen 🤣
How display layer rotate vertical batocera ?
Can you do one for Batocera 32 since it is completely different...and maybe explain in more detail the different settings because for example: You set the resolution to 1080p but then set the internal resolution to 4x...what is the difference between the two? Also, why set to Vulcan?
Vulcan gives you better performance on some emulators (and is normally faster). Internal resolutions will make it look nicer. Ideally, you shoot for the resolution of the monitor or TV that you're using.
@@BatoceraNation it only lets me set resolution to a max of 1080 and my tv is 4k running at 2k120hz
@@BatoceraNation I still dont understand the difference between internal res and resolution... And should I use Vulcan for every system/emulator? Why isnt it on by default? And should I use it if I have a RPi4?
@@GeorgeWPush Resolution in this case, is how many pixels are in your screen and it's aspect ratio. INTERNAL Resolution, at least for the PSX, doubles the amount of polygons rendered, which has a noticeable smoothing effect. It has no effect on 2D sprites except to crisp them up slightly. Not usually worth the hit in performance in those cases.
@@Zathurastra so is there any reason to change the Resolution other than to lower it to get more fps?
The message appeared to you when playing Super Mario Car I want to cancel the emulator, what is the benefit of the emulator
Can you connect a wireless gamepad
In dolphin or in ps3 emulator i can’t see my mouse cursor
How can i fix it?
I just installed Batocera 32 and followed your instructions step by step on Crash Bandicoot. Changed all the settings and still comes put pixelated, not smooth as you show. Could use some help... thanks
What are your specs of your Batocera system?
Hello, I have added hack folders with roms for example gameboy hack folder with roms, nes hack folder with roms, genesis hack folder with roms; however the emulator banners do not display with the roms. How can I get these folders with roms to display?
If the theme you are using doesn't have a banner for the hacked game system, it's not going to show up. You will be forced to create one. Follow the example of the non hacked version and create one. Or copy the non hacked version theme image and video to the hacked folder and later change the images. I talked about how I created my version of the theme Batocera Club in the "Installing Batocera" video.
@@BatoceraNation Thank you.
Pcsx2 not suuport keyboard controller?
Great videos. Can you show how to load and where to load emulators?
Hi Walter. The emulators are automatically loaded when you have Roms in the Roms folder of the emulator. For example, if you have NES roms, you copy those roms into the NES rom folder within Batocera. Then select "Game Settings" and update the list. Once you are finished, you should see the Nes Emulator loaded up for you and ready to play. If I haven't answered your question, please be more specific so that I can help you.
@@BatoceraNation thats great to know, thanks a lot. I guessed it already. Still didnt load roms yet. Thats why i have only the default rom set.
What is the main difference between betocera and recalbox?
I haven't really played much with Recalbox but someone told me that Batocera is more flexible to allow you to make any changes and additions that you need.
Looking at their website, I can also see that you can't install Windows, PS2, 3DS, GameCube, Wii, WiiU, and PS3 games unto the system (and soon Xbox games).
Greets from AUS 👍
Great channel, just subbed. For NDS… No wonder when I changed display option to top only, side by side etc it wouldnt show properly, I forgot to disable the bezel lol
Also, if using the mednafen core for psx and turn off the bios boot screen in the batocera settings it still shows it when launching a game. Cant be helped?
I will look into it. Not by my computer at the moment, but I will look into it.
Do you know how to use Retroarch? You can do it from there. To get to Retroarch, press your A button plus your Hot Key at the same time. In Options, there is a "Skip Bios" option. Choose "On".
@@BatoceraNation
Yeah I know retroarch, Ive been using my PS Classic with ES frontend as my emulation machine until recently when I switched to a Lenovo Tiny PC.
I should have tried disabling the bios boot from within retroarch myself lol
Will try that way soon.
On another note, is there any disadvantage of using the mednafen core? Seems like the better choice from what Ive seen. Over the rearmed core.
@@fonzitheman It is a better choice over rearmed. I don't know of any disadvantages.
@@BatoceraNation
OK, so i went into retroarch and disabled the bios boot there, however unable to save the cfg 🤔
On the ps classic i could save core or content directory override but that didnt work here.
Then i tried retroarch/mainmenu/configuration file/save current and/or save new but that that didnt seem to work.
Must of missed something?
Hi ! I have a Rasperrry Pi 4 and the last version of Batocera.
My question is " Why i can't change emulators ? "
I don't have that option in my games menu.
My guess is that the x86 version has more options than the Retropie version. Since the Retropie isn't as powerful as a PC, there must be a limited amount of Emulators that will work Pi 4.
Once I finish with the main Emulators, I plan to move on to Retropie. By then, I'm hoping the Pi 5 will come out (sometime this summer).
@@BatoceraNation i think the same way, but the option is there, then disappear, and it's happening more often.
( I followed your videos in my PC with 0 problem and all it's going well )
Thanks for your reply !
@@Ziriux89 Sure! If you want something small that is more powerful than the Pi 4, look into the Larkbox. It's super tiny but more powerful than the Pi.
Hi Batocera Nation I would like to install an emulator called NeoRaine NeoGeo CD into Batocera. Can I be able to do it?
Is there a way to update settings globally, or is it only per game?
Hey do you find out how to use a USB bigger than 30 gb als Medium for batucera (in order to put files in it that are bigger than the Standart of maximum 20 gb free space (20 because the system already occupies 8 gb) so how to get games like Xenoblade Chronicles which are bigger than 25 gb onto the stick ? Hope anyone can help
@@GermanNurse Is this what you are looking for? czcams.com/video/L10XTomwf0w/video.html If you are having issues with just the source thumb drive that you want to use to transfer the game too, try formatting it to exfat
Update The video was part of the solution...
Problem :I
had a USB stick that's bigger than 30gb --) 64 gb The first few times I had no luck in trying to boot into batocera again and again, than I posted a help request here under the video and a very friendly guy gave me a tip "you should see this video (link in his comment)
Solution for a not resized thumb stick:
The solution
is to just open the config file inside the Part. named Batocera. and save it untouched!!! ( The reason is that when where doing so on my next try without changing anything ( except that I just opened and saved the file ) it boots up and says your stick is resizing don't shut down your PC...
Problem 2
after I successfully got a first response from the stick who says it's resizing the screen goes back to black it welcomed me 1 time with Batocera intro and so far so bad no reaction...
Then back in win. I looked at the size of the Thumb stick and it's confirmed that the resize operation was successful
This is where my Lucky trail end's so far I can say I had no luck after this small step forward maybe someone else can refere to this
You can do it globally per emulator. Once inside your emulator, press your select button and you'll see the option.
Hi how batocera hdmi output
I downloaded Bios pack, I rechecked in the setting it says no missing bios.. But I still can't manage to see PSX emulator.. I used to play PSX before the update.. Now, I have no idea what's is the problem..
What are the file extension on your PSX roms? And were you able to copy them successfully to the psx rom folder?
@@BatoceraNation .zip and .7z
How do I cancel the black screen that appears when the shortcut or change it when I press the x button, the shortcut activates I want to change the shortcut or cancel it
I'm not to clear what you are asking. But I think you are asking how to stop or end the emulator when playing a game? Is that correct? To end any emulator in Batocera, you have to press the A button plus your Hotkey. You can set your Hotkey in Controller Settings.
@@BatoceraNation how batocera Factory Reset ?
@@user-yf8fj6hb9p To factory reset, just reformat your thumbdrive or SSD and reinstall Batocera on it again..
@@BatoceraNation There is no other way to do this without deleting the data
@@user-yf8fj6hb9p There is one other way.
1. Download the Boot file here.
2. Unzip the content of the Boot file.
3. Place your USB flash drive in a Windows computer.
4. Copy the content of the Boot and paste it to the flash drive. Many of the files should match.
5. When you reboot the flash drive, it should be a factory reset.
Here is the Boot file: mirrors.o2switch.fr/batocera/x86_64/stable/last/
The themes don't appear in my batocera. I am connected to the internet however
I tried to increase the rendering resolution of PS1 but it had no effect whatsoever. It still looks just like it did before, as if it's only rendering at 1x native.
What core(s).did you try?
Hi me again, how can I run PS2 games on Batocera, when I start a game it go back to the gamemenu...tnx again for the help
In the PS2 ROMs folder, find out in the info.txt file what kind of file extensions, the PS2 emulator will accept. Make sure your ROMs file extensions match yours. You might also find some games on archive.org.
You need BIOS file first
Hello how are you,I been trying to flash batocera on sd card but no chance,I tried 3 different sd card on 4 different PCs but no chance, Everytime when it starts flashing it says failed any help, the image was for odroid go super
Format the SD card first in NTFS then try to create the image.
@@BatoceraNation
Thank you to reply my comment,I have tried that too but no success
Odd.
What program are you using to flash ? Are you using a brand name card and not a no name generic one?
I used Balena Etcher with a 256GB Sandisk Ultra with no issues for my RGB10 Max.
Also, before flashing, instead of formatting it to NTFS try formatting it to FAT32,if its a large card you might have to use a 3rd party program like GUI format to be able to format it to FAT32.
Although it really shouldnt matter as when you flash the image with Etcher for eg it creates the partitions in the format type thats needed anyway. But worth a shot.
Hello,yes I used the same program with 256gb but no success even yesterday I tried again but nothing I can understand if it was only 1 machine but 4
@@has20100
Is the 256GB you have a brand name card like Samsung or Sandisk?
If its generic no brand name card bought cheap its possible its fake.
Have you tried with a smaller capacity brand name card like 32 or 16GB even? Just as a test.
Please can you help me with mame? I add the roms to share,mame,roms and some works.can I install another mame emulator in batocera for 0.78 roms or 1.75 roms?? And then snaps don't see nothing I put them in folder mame,snaps but don't see nothing.the extension of snaps is .png can you help me please
Unfortunately, you can't install another Mame emulator version for Batocera. Compatible roms must come from set 0.78. Google "Mame Roms 0.78". The libretro core imame4all, based upon Mame v0.37b5, is also included. Your "sample" files must be added to /userdata/bios/mame2003/sample. In addition, you can't just add snap image files and have Batocera see them. You have to "scrape" your games. Go into your "Main Menu" and then select "Scrape" Once your Mame games are scraped, then you will have snap images.
@@BatoceraNation thanks for your answer. And the roms must added to userdata/bios/mame2003/roms.or to mame/roms??and have any link for mame roms set 0.78 to download??
archive.org/details/EvilWalrusROMSetPackMAME20030.78ForRetroPie

@@BatoceraNation thank you for your time and help
I face a problem in the scraper ! It shows error I don’t know why and I can’t get any image fir games or videos fortunately and if someone know how to fix that problem help me please thanks 🙏
It means that the server is down. Unfortunately, this is something that happens from time to time. Too many people are trying to download images at the same time.
why is this video missing the only important thing: how to add emulators? I just have a few in my list, so how to add more like ps1 or psp?
You dont. They are all provided, whether it be stand alone emulators or Libretro cores.
It only shows a few cause those are the handful of freeware games provided.
Once you drop roms in the corresponding rom folders and update your gamelists those systems will appear, they wont show if you have no games in them, by default anyway although you can make all systems show if you want even if they have no games in the rom folders.
@@fonzitheman ah I see I thought you had to install them somehow. how do you install steam though for example?
@@bestonyoutube
Never tried that, have a look at BN's latest steam tutorial.
Anyone else unable to configure your sn30 pro controller to have a hot key or even switch default A buttons?
Follow these directions:
1. Attach a keyboard to your Batocera system.
2. Press the Spacebar (or the Start button on your controller)
3. Select "Controllers and Bluetooth Settings"
4. Select "Configure a Controller"
Set all your buttons from there including your hotkey.

When you add the games to the roms folder, they should pop up when you update the Games Lists. Although you might limited in your gameplay due to your specs.

When I press F1 nothing happens and can I add new emulators.
Are you using a computer or something else? It should work on any computer or laptop.
The second question about adding new emulators. The emulators inside Batocera are already built in. There are a bunch included. Besides those, there is no easy way to add more Emulators.
@@BatoceraNation tnx for reply...this problem is solved
@@BatoceraNation but why do I see 8 of them and not all of them on the startscreen

Were you successful?
wow, thanks for this video. because this is what I was looking for. and I just want to ask for help to anyone who can help me. how to exit PS2 game? sometimes in some PS2 games, for example Downhill. I can't exit the game even though I have pressed the esc key many times. so I had to press the power button on my laptop to turn it off.
The Hot Key plus the start button on your gamepad should do it. Make sure to set the Hot Key in Bluetooth and Controllers settings.
@@BatoceraNation thanks, i will try
I don't have all the emulators. I only have commodore 64, pc engine, Nintendo, super Nintendo, game boy advanced, ports, pygame, & sega mega drive,
Systems only show that have games in them.
Those only show at first cause thats whats included in the image, a handful of freeware games.
So you need to drop roms in the appropriate folders then update gameslists.
