Although it is a minor touch, I like how Batocera indicates which games have RetroAchievements available with a mini trophy icon next to the game. I wish that feature would be available in Retroarch on mobile devices
Emuelec
You can set up an auto collection for Retrocheivements in Batocera. This way all games have e achievements.
Great tutorial. I installed Batocera on an old Mac Pro (2009) and LOVE the ability to play games from yesterday and today. Batocera is easily my favorite gaming-centric distro.
Love being able to mix the familiar Emulation Station aesthetics with Steam functionality All-In-One. If Steam could remain open in background without logging in that would be icing on the cake.
I was looking for Batocera videos yesterday and was saddened when the last video on it was over a year ago. Thanks for keeping up us updated!
THIS. IS. AWESOME!!
I used your tutorial to play Batocera from a USB stick on the kiddo's old alienware steam machine turned pseudo-pc-console. Definitely going to go back and run it natively now with some steam stuff installed. Thank you for this!!
Would love to see Batocera working on the Steam Deck
@Ghltlghtnmn360 bummer was gonna test it later on the weekend. You saved me time messing with it. Did you try Batocera v35 beta? It’s adding touch screen support.
I just turned an old Alienware Alpha into a retro gaming powerhouse with this setup. Thanks Prime for the great content always!
I had no idea this was possible. If the login issue could be smoothed over, this would be a great way to get an all-in-one console going.
exactly what i was thinking!
Dude!!! I had no clue you could install Steam on batocera!! Im about to make my desktop PC a permanent gaming console LOL.
Already have this setup on a 1tb external SSD and use it on a old dell laptop that I bought for $20 cuz it had no keyboard and the battery didn't hold a charge but it came with a dock and logitech keyboard... I bought the right model keyboard for $40 after and now it just stays plugged in for power on my t.v. so I can play all the retro games I want with Steam.
Only reason I knew about steam was cuz Eta Prime mentioned Batocera Nation's channel and I watched all his tutorials on getting things setup.
install armbian(if manjaro have arm cpu supporting version then try manjaro too) onto android tv boxes with amlogic s922xj and onto smartphones(for example on phinephone)/tablets and play games on steam, playonlinux, box86, lutris(try these on ubuntu touch too). And windows11 have drivers for snapdragon845, you can install windows11 to smartphones(with snapdragon 845) too.
For cheap external drives, WD is currently selling 2tb portable refurb drives for $35 with a warranty via ebay. Hard to beat for cheap storage.
Otherwise I have one of those canvio portable drives in 1tb - picked it up around black Friday last year for $25 and it's held up great as a game storage drive for Xbox and has survived multiple drops and all the other wear and tear of a 9yr old
Hey bud, just fyi, turns out those 2TB external drives are a scam. All they're made of is two low capacity micro sd cards soldered onto a pcb, with the firmware tweaked to show the 2TB capacity. isn't that some bullshit?? Even WALMART doesn't know any better yet.
Refurbished storage sounds like a bad idea on it's own.
@@claudiodiaz9752 well, I’ve been running that same drive since i posted that with no issues.
I have Batocera on a Mini PC and absolutely love it! Its a real retropie killer.
Shredder's Revenge is actually not using Proton by default, it's native.
Wow this is amazing! Is it better to run SteamOS and bring in emulators, or run Batocera with Steam client as in this video?

The second.
Hello @ETA PRIME I am building a retro gaming pc. Its a optiplex 9020 with a i7 4790k and a 1660 super and this video made me decide what to do. Thank you for all you do.
Did you go w the 9020? I was thinking about going for a 7010 since they avoid Dell's proprietary nonsense. But might opt for other cheap mobo options since I have a custom case and all components needed already aside from a grey box 4-pin psu.
Looking at several 4-pin options, but just realized my rail strength might be too weak to support 3rd gen Intel and up. But, in case you're interested: Intel DH67, Asus B85M (-E), Asus H81M (-A), Asus H110M, and Dell Inspiron 5675 / 5676 / 5680. All motherboards going for great prices, all using 4-pin cpu power, and some can be found cheaply as mobo cpu + ram combos.
Might also be worth looking into Lenovo M93P, HP Elite 8300 / HP Compaq Pro 6xxx (3rd gen?), Dell Precision, and HP Z420 or Z series in general. The last two support Xeon E5, and some support v2+ Xeons. Which, the 1620 v2 and 1650 v2's pack a wicked punch for performance. And (last tip I swear lmao) some Precision models come with (iirc) PSUs anywhere between 600W and 1200W.
it would be great if the "install on a new disk" would ALSO setup the configs (at least) you already have setup on the current build you choose that option from.. in my experience it basically only installs a clean bato img only
For some games you have to tinker with the Proton versions. I hope one day one Proton version would be enough to play everything
And i hope can play cracked game😂
I must be honest. Whenever I want to play any emulation games, I can NEVER literally NEVER get it set up comfortable enough to play perfectly. Sega, Super Nintendo, PS 1, Gameboy Advance emulators are fine to set up, but anything else after that... gees. It always ends up so messy. All the work needed to set all this up honestly puts me off cause I don't have the time to set up everything. This includes trying to set it up on my android phone, PC, laptop, Tablet. I just cant get it working decently. Its quite sad really.
There are a lot of GameCube titles that need individual tweaking often times. It annoys me too.
Yeah try getting everything tuned in on multiple games and play them half OR more of the way through then have your drive crash lol. That's where I'm at right now. Starting from a big ZERO. Now I'm building a dedicated system just for emulators.
nice! gonna update my batocera nuc and do this, thanks dude
It's infuriating how few themes include pc98 in batocera and Emuelec.
My old editing PC is now my emulation machine and it's a great use of a PC. It's great how a 10 year old pc is still running AAA titles. The sad thing is how little things have changed in that time. Just power consumption.
I mean, a 10yrs old pc is like 1/6 of the power of the current gen of products you used, even less. Eg i7 4700K and a GTX 780 vs i7 13700K and a GTX 4080. But yes only power consumption
"friendly neighborhood spider-lan" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 AWESOME!
Best and One and only Retro gaming emulation GOD on this planet love from India 🇮🇳🙏
Please bring old intro back .
It was awesome and i really liked the sound .
This is great! Is there a video of this running on a x86 handheld?
This seems perfect for those machines
always good to see more content - Batocera is on my NUC and ODroid Super Go thanks to you
This is currently untested because I haven't setup batocera yet, but when it logs in your user, you should be able to have it start steam. I'm not sure what desktop environment it uses yet (does look like an openbox window when you can see it doing it's initial steam install). This would, in theory, keep it from having to log you in every time you start a game. I'll update this some after I put batocera on a thumb drive to figure out better specifics.
I also don't think leaving steam running in the background is going to hurt much performance wise, except maybe network performance and drive related slow downs from background updates, but one never knows for sure.
I just did a build like this the other day.... I got a thermaltake V21 core case because it fits into the Ikea Kallax shelf I have lying on its side as my TV entertainment center. Intel i3 10100, 32 gig DDR 3600, RTX 12gig vram 3060. Installed batocera on a 1TB SSD. Also have a 2tb wd black 3.5 drive. I have run into an issue with controllers working fine for native Linux games in steam but not working inside the games if using any version of proton. I have found many fixes on the net .... I'm not super good with Linux so I didn't do any of the terminal stuff. I simply disabled steam overlay and the controllers work in game again. They just take keyboard controls and map them to a controller automatically. Tried three controllers. 8bitdo SNES 30+ pro (like the video), an Xbox one controller and a few PS3 controllers. All work great.
You sound just like android 17 from the funimation dub of dragon ball z/super! His voice was so awesome!
That's awesome man. Thanks for doing a vid on it. Finally a fully focused gaming OS besides steam for PC, also looking forward to checking out Aya OS when it drops.
Nice. I've been rocking a rx480 reference card for years. And a rx570 in another rig. They both perform great still even on new AAA games.
I think that one or several NVMe external enclosure would help you to test all the SOs you test in different computers.
One partition with VENTOY to install from there to its own main partition full speed (500Mb/s almost sure).
And as 2Tb are near 200 USD and probably a 2 Tb small factor one for the Steam Deck or even a 2x 2Tb one (I know hey exist for the normal size) would be a great pocket game repository. It can be a promotional video for whoever would make those 2x NVMe enclosures.
Can Batocera be installed from Ventoy?
Great video Thanks.. Keep bringing more of this.🔥
It'd be nice to see the performance of the Steam games relative to them running on windows.
It always good to have tutorials ... but for me I just dont see the advantage over a Windows 10/11 install with Steam in Big Picture mode. Especially if someone has a Steam library.
Or do I miss something here?
But tuning into your videos is worth it for the intro alone. =)
That's what I'm wondering too. It gets rid of the windows bloat I suppose but other than that I don't know either.
Great video! I just got an old surface book and was planning to turn it into a portable arcade, this looks perfect forbwhat I am trying to do
I wanna see how good, a cheap laptop with rtx 3050, can emulate some of the hardest games. (Ps3, Nintendo switch)
You just gave me something ELSE to do with the HP EliteDesk and Intel NUCs I have laying around. Thanks!
Steam Deck OS with EMU Deck vs. Batocera with Steam Installed and see if there is a performance difference on the same hardware. Would be curious if there is one, and if it's worth a video on it (I would imagine it probably isn't, but worth digging into).
Great video, very interesting and will definitely give it ago as soon as I have a little spare time..thank
Which version of Spiderman was that playing at the end of the video please? Awesome video as always ETA Prime! I love Batocera, just really hoping they get TeknoParrot working on it at some point since the Batocera PLUS team have TeknoParrot partially working already.
I am using Nobara 36 and it is kind of a long term version of this, even automatically installing proper drivers for nvidia cards. I am able to play all of my steam games with no problems. I am configured for mouse and keyboard so don't use controllers much.
I would like to add this approach for controllers. Given how large (40 GB) some games are it might t be worthwhile to set up separate individual USB sticks with specific games. That would give sticks you could label and reduce wear on each one.
Regards
Super cool they add Steam into Batocera.
If you could add PC games that have been downloaded online (like how we've all gotten roms over the years...) then this would be the berries.
You can add non-steam games and proton is available for them too. Some games don’t work like DBZ fighterZ, but 90% do.
@@andrewbecerra3445 i tried that a few months ago and didn't have any luck. Any purchased games or steam games worked just fine. It's the "other" pc games i couldn't get to load. I would get the building WINE structure screen like normal, but would always be taken back to ES
I'll try this on my main pc tomorrow when my external drive arrives. I'll dual boot though
i9-9900ks, rtx 3070, 64gb ram.
I think I'll get amazing performance, but I'm mainly looking for ps2/3 emulation. I'll update once everything is tested
I was thinking if you could do a video on using raspberry board or any small board to make Android or Linux based phone. Ie making your own phone with a small pc.
I decided to format an nv2 ssd and install batocera. My hard drive was constantly having problems and I decided to install it somewhere else.
You should showcase other distros like ZorinOS too, itll be great
It would be cool to hear ETA's take on linux distros and which ones to use for diff hardware specs. I'm currently running Lubuntu 20.04.5 from a USB2.0 drive with Steam, Lutris, and Heroic installed. Along with Wine, feral gamemode and various other useful gaming things.
It's really surprising how well it runs AND games being limited to USB2.0 transfer rates. With the low resource overhead (~350-400MB ram on a clean boot) I'm able to play Hollow Knight and Wayward maxed out at 1080p on my low spec 2008 hardware. Which was my aim!
On Win7 with heavy usage services disabled both would stutter just a bit, but to the point that they were unplayable.
I unplugged my internal hdd and installed from DVD to allow for full install to USB. Looking to try AntiX next, as it looks to have even lower resource usage. And Ubuntu and Big Linux for secure, portable daily drivers.
Also lol at your username 😄
So if I install this to a drive could I plug it into any gaming rig? X86/64bit
Providing that rig allows booting from USB and Windows is not controlling the hardware then yeah.
@@notjustforhackers4252 well I mean configure the bios before boot of course like in-between different AMD/Intel rigs
@@2game21 Sure, should work fine. Only real consideration would be if the rig has an NVIDIA GPU, then you could come unstuck. AMD GPU's ( and Intel as and when ) are just plug and play on Linux. So yeah, as long as its not NVIDIA, basically.
@@notjustforhackers4252 my brother went with a rtx2070 I cheeped out and got a cheep 5708gber before the chaos of crypto
@@2game21 I cheeped out even more, I'm running a 5700g and my old 1060 6GB passed through to a KVM install of Arch for gaming. Run Fedora as my Host. I ain't paying the current GPU prices, no way. Pretty happy with the 5700g and Indy titles to be honest. Might pick up an AMD GPU when prices ain't so piss take.
I'd love to see a tutorial on doing this to an internal drive on an Atari VCS, and what it'd be capable of.
I run a weaker SBC and with it, some emulators on Batocera x86 do perform better than on standard Linux desktop OSes. I don't expect it to crank out AAA visuals but being able to play many 2D Steam titles with that OS would already be a huge step up in convenience.
All I want out of Batocera now is to have some way to run the GameMode daemon and a CPU frequency scaling utility to squeeze out the most performance of low-end machines
For me I want a portable drive with steam and emu and plug it into any X86/64 bit to go between gaming rigs
cant you compile gamemode from source?
I'd love to know if anyone has managed to get an xbox one controller working within steam. I know I haven't, I believe it has something to do with flatpak permissions..
I have one connected to my steam deck and it works fine. A bit finicky but it does work. Pairing is the only time I seem to have any trouble
ETA prime should do a review on RetroBat for Windows. It's emulation station.
I've been thinking about converting my gaming PC into a Linux gaming PC and have actually been wondering if it's worth it. I know steam has excellent Linux support but what about the others like epic?
They don't have as "excellent" support as Steam... but Lutris, Heroic, and GOG are all making good progress. I've gotten Rocket League to work in Lutris with solid performance. (The Steam version had it's linux support neutered. Runs, but no online play.)
@@bigrob029 maybe there's hope I can make the switch eventually..I'm already getting tired of windows and windows 11 is making it worse.
@@toxicavenger6172 agreed! im avoiding win11 as long as i can. My main hangup keeping me from Linux full time is streaming options. OBS is there, but I'm waiting for all the chat bots and assisting applications to catch up. Also, the amount of file transfers too.... omg.
@@bigrob029 I was actually considering building a small second computer with some left over parts I have laying around to handle streaming so I can off load the resource drain from my main PC. I considered using Holo ISO for the steam deck experience, but it feels like Linux OBS just isn't there yet to stream like I do in windows. Guess I'll just have to get a cheap Win10 key and kill windows update like I did on my main PC.
Wow! So many many thanks!
Really like the idea, just not sure if the effort is worth it. Looks slightly more difficult than setting up Emudeck on a SteamOS 3 pc, and the result is a bit jankier as well with all of the Steam pop-ups when launching a game.
Is there a hack or steps to connect batocera on a bluetooth speaker? I am using raspberry pi 4
OK, this looks insanely good!
Would it be possibly to "download" a Stadia app and the Xbox cloud gaming for Fortnite?
If this is possible I'll jump on this, it would make for a great living room gaming PC
I installed batocera and it works great. I installed steam, updated, and logged in. Steam (flatpac) does not seem to work though.
you really love AMD, i love your content.
Thats awesome, l never tought batocera could use wines like Proton, is there a chance of this feature coming to other Linux retro os like ark?
All of the games I’ve attempted to download just closes right away. No matter which proton version I use. I’m so confused.
Any steam game runs? I mean any for Windows or linux
Tried installing the 32-bit atom version of this to an atom pc it did not install, tried wired and wireless. Tried installing the 64-bit version on an acer laptop secure boot off with ethernet, detected no hard disks, but it will boot windows fine.
This is fun but I could hardly get ANY steam games to work. So far it's only been Skul, Ziggurat, Wizorb and... That's it?
I'm running on a Dell 7040, with a i5 6500 and an RX 6400, not sure what else to tweak to get games working
You're my hero❤
I tried running master chief collection but it just has steam info in top left corner say logging into steam then steam shutting down and then goes back to games list.
Hi Eta, awesome video as always, i have a question tho, i been a windows users for so long and i want to try linux gaming on my gaming desktop, can u please tell me which linux os i should go with, i want to point out that i only use my pc for gaming mostly and normal stuff, i have a gtx 1060, and intel 6th gen, and i want to get the most of these to be able to run triple A titles with max performance, thanks in advance x )
The best game channel
Why Batocera hangs on my laptop in game or sometimes in the main Batocera menu? I'm using Acer Aspire ES13 with Windows 10. Please help.
Hi i cant seem to get my batocera external drive to load into the menu while booting off my drive it used to work on windows 10 doesnt work on windows 11 iv disabled fast boot TMP deleted security keys and disabled secure boot in the BIOS. I just get a black screen after the main batocera splash as it attempts to boot the drive the screen and stays on it until i restart the pc. Any ideas why its not booting to the console select screen.
Question: can you play 2 player in batocera? if yes How? Just connect 2 controller via bluetooth? i hope you notice me, thanks
I am looking for a newer Mac to run Batocera on. What Mac would you recommend getting?
Linux is awesome isn't it. Great vid ETA, more like this.
If you use MFA with your Steam account, this would be a nightmare... very cool though...
i guess the next question is can you install lutris, heroic, gog with this or a similar method? not sure if batocera has flatpak and proton options....
Can it do Lutris to get my games from Origin also? I'd totally switch my gaming NUC (hades canyon) to this full time for that. Running Garuda atm, but rolling release arch base is getting annoying when I don't boot it up frequently.
Hey ETA, I been having trouble with windows & LaunchBox. I'm thinking bout using batocera instead of LaunchBox to play my games. My launchbox screen keeps changing focus while playin. It's annoying. So I'm thinking about using batocera. Good idea?
Still had a trouble using NVIDIA GPU below GTX 750 Ti? Even use GTX 750, it can't run a 3D game
Just tried this on a 35 version(internal ssd) and it fails. I install steam on flat pack and go to ports and it just kicks me out like when a game is on the wrong emulator
I just wish batecura had a desktop mode. Anybody know of any OS that has the game console-looking menu and a desktop?
Do you think that Batocera could implement steamdeck somehow in the future? :) That would be a gamechanger!
What about for GOG and Epic games?
Would love to see batocera on the steam deck, would this be possible?
i cannot get steam games to work. i enabled steam play and i can only get CS:Go to work. MW2, insurgency, session, ground branch, none of the games i play on the regular work. does anybody know what i can possibly be doing wrong. i have an nvidia gpu and i even enabled it in the batocera.boot file. im at a loss
my Flatpak does not show me any apps, even trying to search. Im connected to net
Any tips for controllers within steam games themselves? Controllers (xbox) work in big picture mode, but upon entering a game they are non responsive.
That wifi name 😄
I liked the Cases. What case is it?
I’m trying Batocera in RPi4 and its a mess to configure. I cant get proper scanlines in some cores (too dependant on screen resolution). Maybe Bato in pc is better.. but i still prefer “native” emulators if i’m using a windows pc.
When installed steam from flat pack, it installed and works fine, but the steam logo doesn’t show on mine. Only a generic unscraped file icon. How would I fix this?
Can i import a non steam game on steam and play it thru emulatiostation?
Hello, how are you, I delete all the games on my batocera, and the share location is still full, but can't see the game ROMs anymore, any help please
what performs better on an USB drive? Batocera or portable bigbox
Can i screen record with software with botocera running please i dont wanna record externally with the pc if i have to record sound from a 3.5 any cheap ways to get adound the sound issue or is external recording the only way to go besides audio then is all i need
nvidia drivers??? this would make me ditch windows for good...
I'd do my homework before diving into a switch like that. I think I read it on the Holo ISO (Steamdeck PC) site that Nvidia drivers for 10xx series were made open source, although I'm not sure how many gpus that covers, but they also said there was still some instability even then.
great...thank you.
Falta agora adicionar o xCloud e ooutros serviços em nuvem.
Ai vai ficar TOP.
I have a mac mini from like 2012 would this os be perfect for it? Like making it a emulation station?
last time I tried batocera, steam just didn't work and the devs didn't seem interested in fixing it. curious if that's been fixed.
Can you do a video about moonlight?
