Great video as always! Lots of exciting updates in v36! I was even able to update from v35 without any issues. So double great news!

[HartArtInk]

Always look forward to your great Batocera tutorials. I used your videos to get my Batocera installation up and running. I have built a bartop arcade cabinet and put an old mini pc in it with Batocera to give it an extended life and give myself the arcade cabinet I always wanted. Your videos have been a valuable contribution to my build and I want to Thank you. I highly recommend your videos to any new Batocera users.

Future Pinball high scores were also addressed in this release staying persistent at reboot for tables. Huge win for v36 if you're looking for this functionality in particular as there was no easy fix for this in previous releases.

Unfortunately v36 isnt free of a few issues.
The yabasanshiro core for Saturn runs slow.
We can use the Beetle core for saturn which runs great but it has no upscale option.
Another issue only for some though is Atomiswave.
If using Flycast with open gl or vulkan api games dont boot.
If using LR Flycast with vulkan they dont either and if you use opengl with LR Flycast it will black screen and freeze so you need to force power down.
This doesnt happen to everyone but some, including me, and I tried two PC's.
Whats odd is Dreamcast and Naomi that also can use Flycast work fine.
Also for Jaguar Bigpemu only runs a few of my Jag games, LR Virtual Jaguar runs them all with more options, but then I see BigPemu does run Jag CD games.

version 36 is so perfect. PS3, PS2 runs much smoother and Steam and original xbox are working now very good with very less graphic issues thanks to xemu and proton 7. Version 36 is truly amazing, it made many games now playable and enjoyable just with this update. Thank you Batocera Team :)

I wanted to mention this separately: when batocera 35 was installed on internal harddisk, batocera 36 on boot stick will not boot properly (black screen). I tried this on 6 different computers. So backup and remove older boot partitions. This occurs for version 36 only.

[sheldonkupa]

### EDIT: i am an idiot, found the problem. Version 36 boots into black screen if an older batocera boot partition is on internal harddisk. You could dual boot Version 34 and 35 though, so that has changed. Backup and remove Version 35 boot partition before trying Version 36!### Original message: -## Your channel is awesome. Batocera is awesome! 👍👏 I have a lot of hardware to test on and ran with version 36 into gpu issues with following setups: black screen at startup with internal amd gpu (athlon 300u, ryzen 2200g) and with dedicated amd rx570 and nvidia gtx970. It starts on a nvidia 3060ti and on any intel igpu. In most cases xserver dont start but console with altF3 available. Lspci -nnk shows device with no driver. Config options as described on batocera homepage dont help. On all systems batocera 35 started with no issues and without changes to config. Must be something with the gpu driver selection code. I share this only (no complaint at all!) in case someone else has same hardware. Before update your main system try a usb bootstick. I am totally happy with 35 atm. I will give feedback to batocera team if they are interested.

Thank you dear Batocera Team! Great job as always!

if someone is interested: tested some setups for both xenia + xenia canary
xenia for xbox 360 emulation works with
- RTX 3070, Intel 630 HD

doesn´t work (in my systems) with amd
- RX 550 4GB, and an older 7000er series radeon
There is an error message in all tested games after the intro with WINE 7.2 and maybe needs some linux files/dependencies, idk.

and:
a small hp 705 with integrated vega 8 starts the games but with graphical issues. not playable at the moment. I know that vega 8, 7000er radeon is sure too weak for ps3 emulation, but RX 550 should do it.
Just say. No critics. I am happy so far. I know xenia is not native linux, it´s wine.

PS3 shader caching is much faster and Cemu works perfect!

Thank you always for the possible newest emulators especially pcsx2 and cemu! These are fantastic!

Thanks for the video, but for my needs, I am sticking with v33. v35 created a lot of problems including bluetoooth connection issues. I only need to play 8, 16 bit, Neo Geo and final burn.

[ASAN]

Thanks for the rundown 🙂I'm excited for this one👾👾👾

I upgraded and it created an issue with Switch emulation. I kept seeing a pop up about openGL drivers. I couldn’t use Vulcan either, it would freeze.

I had to go back to 35 but hopefully you’ll have a Switch guide like last time.

[nerdloftgaming]

Years tinkering and tweaking RetroPie setups, have led me to try out Batocera - a night and day difference in setup and ease of use. Love Batocera, next thing to do is add Sinden Lightguns!

Another great video, Batocera Nation!

[mcesso]

Great video as always.

Would love to see a setup of moonlight embedded on v36 if possible, I seem to be having a ton of issues. TIA

[ChildrensStoryTime]

Love your content 👍 everything works fine except Switch emulation. The V35 update, now fails. Deleting that and using the old v32 switch install works. Hopefully there will be a compatible switch emu setup for v36. I’m not sure whether that yuzu only works on ext4 drives, mine share folder is on an external windows formatted drive and suspect that’s the issue. I can’t try on an internal drive with ext4. But looking forward to your findings 👍

[Zerzayar]

So what's new? Lots of awesome things!
And lots of no longer running systems after updating from v35 to v36. At least according to the Discord channel. 😅

[amarg]

Does anybody know how to save the controller config for switch? For some odd reason when Playing Mario Oddyssey the system saved my preset

[srvuk]

Excellent summary. I was particularly excited to see the images being available for the Orange Pi 5, which loaded fine but sadly, whenever I attempt to load any game, the initial graphic screen comes up but remains static and nothing else going on, resulting in a need to hard power off. But I am sure that it will be improved and be useable soon enough.

Is there a way of removing or hiding the retro arch menu? This is really important to stop people damaging a finished build
