  1. Tohle přesně vystihuje dilema každého retro hráče: největší boss není ve hře. Je to vlastní knihovna her. 😄

  2. This could be an interesting project:

    A Mini-PC running everything #retro #gaming up to a PS3 and Xbox 360 with a #linux OS like #batocera ...

  4. @ftranschel #batocera comes with quite a lot of emulators built in. So I could liberate my console games from my consoles.

    Speaking of a digital-only future, this might be the right way to go.

    "#batocera is offering a lot of stuff for #gamers. #cachyos is not."

    YMMV is all I'm gonna say about that.

    If you're new to #Linux it certainly *IS* a good idea to go and try different things.

    #Batocera is a *very* specific project. Without knowing your actual intended use case, my intuition is that is likely not the right fit, since you're mentioning Steam and Geforce Now.

  7. @ftranschel I am new to #linux, so there still is a lot to learn.

    #batocera is offering a lot of stuff for #gamers. #cachyos is not. The goals of the distros are quite different. Cachy OS runs very well on my Lenovo Laptop.

    What I haven't managed to work yet is Nvidia GeForce Now. Steam is up and running ...

  9. Is it possible that #batocera #linux could be some kind of a liberator when it comes to #games and #gaming in general?

    Should I switch from #cachyos to Batocera?

    Hmm ... 🤔

  11. @sotolf I did that before and ran #Batocera. But it was super limited compared to other computers that I have laying around.

    Honestly that was the main reason I picked it up wad to be an emulation machine/ streaming box.

  12. Tanto per perdere tempo ho provato #Batocera #Linux sul mio primo pc portatile, sistema su chiavetta usb 3.0 quindi l'avvio è praticamente di pochi secondi, ma l'antenna bluetooth sarebbe da portare all'esterno del pc che dopo un metro circa il controller comincia ad avere del ritardo. Se ricordo bene, avendola aggiunta io l'antenna, il filo dovrebbe essere abbastanza lungo da poterlo portare all'esterno.

    I miss the days when the kids were small and my favorite gaming buddies. Now they’ve unlocked both 7+ coolness and I’m back to single-player mode.

    50+ gaming routine:
    ✓ Build a Batocera Linux retro machine
    ✓ Tweak everything for hours
    ✓ Launch a game
    ✓ Smile at the menu
    ✓ Play 10 minutes
    ✓ Fall asleep

    100% with you on this. 🎮😴

  19. Batocera – The Retro Arcade OS

    I have a mini-PC that my workplace isn't using so I grabbed it and brought it home. With this home labbing I have been getting into I thought about having a retro video game box. Most people get a Raspberry Pi and install RetroPie on it. The limitations is the micro SD card that the RPi boots off of. I have a mini-PC that uses an M.2 SSD drive to boot the OS off it. So I chose that to host my retro video game box. It only has a 250 GB SSD so I ordered a 512 GB SSD. As for the OS I […]

  21. I have a few iMacs in my possession that I could test.

    My idea was to turn them into retro gaming systems with Batocera Linux, as the iMac screen is good and they have a full size SD card slot.

    Sound would definitely have to work for that application.

  22. I’m playing #StarTrek (2013) a lot recently. It’s a fast shooter with an easy rule set and a fair difficulty level. All major shots are easy to hit
    (maybe except the warp ramp) and if you miss you’ll probably bash into something else. Only downside are the interchangeable missions (Klingon Battle? Prime Directive? Just hit the flashing ramps) and the rather low Trek vibes which are kind of fine for me, cause I don’t care so much for Kelvin Trek anyway.

  26. As a weekend project, I'm going to install a fourth Linux distro on my desktop PC to get some gaming going! Batocera is a Linux distro that supports over 220 gaming platforms and consoles, including MS-DOS, PS1-PS4, and various controllers directly.

    I've built a couple of custom handheld consoles for retro gaming using RetroArch and EmulationStation, and we have an arcade machine with a JAMMA circuit board at the office, but I haven't tried Batocera before. Let the games begin!

  28. Wieder etwas Neues gelernt: Batocera Linux als Retro-Gaming-Distribution.

    Die Einrichtung auf dem alten Raspberry Pi 400 war ein Kinderspiel. Die vorinstallierten ROMs eher nicht. Und neue / andere ROMs zu finden: Joystick-Archäologie.

  30. The graphics requirements for Kazeta are bit heavier that I thought at first:

    https://github.com/kazetaos/kazeta/wiki/Requirements

    So not able to run on cheaply available mini PCs or Intel NUCs, as they don't have enough graphics "oomf" and can't easily have a graphics card added.

    Batocera Linux is probably a better fit for older hardware with just Intel or AMD graphics are that included with the CPU.

  31. Created a Batocera 42 stick this morning, while ripping DVDs, just to try it out.
    RGSX is a brilliant addition and a helpful French enthusiast ( The MiniCake TV) has created a BIOS library that it will download and auto-install to make sure all your saved images work. 👍

  33. Done some mods on the #batocera console. More to come (the lady has bought me a Pi 5 for Christmas to upgrade it!)

  34. @roygreenhilt I started my #virtualpinball directly on #batocera and I can't judge it on Win.

    I love how many things already work out of the box, but if you start hitting walls it's hard to find help because almost all docs and discussions are Win only. Luckily the folks on Discord are a great help :-)

  35. I've just discovered the #Batocera OS for emulators... Spent the last few hours repurposing an old desktop PC ... This might be a lovely way to play all those old Wii games that are in the attic!

  37. Kennt ihr schon meine Retro-Spielemaschine? Ein hübscher Mini-PC mit #Batocera für #Retrogames ohne Ende ✌️

    Übrigens handbeklebt mit einer Dungeon Master Werbeanzeige aus einer (zerfledderten) Power Play ❤️

  39. I think I got the 2014 Mac Mini set up close to how I intended. The main purpose was to make it a retro gaming emulator.

    I have #Retrodeck installed, games loaded and ready to go.

    I tried #Batocera and #Lakka prior to installing #Debian, but oh my the fan just ran at full blast with those OS. With Debian it runs cooler and the fan barely makes a peep.

  40. Let's test the waters! You have USD $1,100:

    - A Deck with a Ryzen AI HX 370, like ROG Ally or Legion Go
    - A laptop with an RTX 4050.
    - A Steam Deck OLED with a battery pack and save $400.

    Which do you pick? Why?
