Batocera - A Beginner's Guide (2023) Raspberry Pi 3b+ Sinden Lightgun!

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! My first time emulating with Batocera and it's great! I'll take you through the setup and configuration as well as explain a bit about where it fits in the emulation space in 2023. I'll also show you how the Sinden light gun works with it and any pitfalls I encountered along the way.

This is the video I needed to see!!! I was so disinherited with barebones for my widen cabinet. I am so excited to try this out. I will update when I get it worked out.

With the shortage of Raspberry Pi's it's great to see that Batocera can be an option for other hardware such as Orange Pi. I am very familiar with Retropie on the Pi 3B+, and as I saw in this video, the configs are very similar. Also they use EmulationStation, which is great. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Keep up the great work!

FANTASTIC video! I'm going to attempt to add Batocera to an android box now. You've inspired me! Subscribed! Cheers!

I gave up on trying to get an RPi for normal price and just ordered a mini PC from GMKtec instead. I did end up paying 250, but they also have 100$ machines.

Haha, just checking videos about it and this one appears in the moment i needed it most 😆.
I am testing it first with Virtualbox and at least i am no getting blue screen of death since 1 hour.
I have my arcade cabinet with Retropie and runs ok.

There's a setting in Batocera to create an exfat partition to the sd card so you can add roms in windows.

Great video my friend. I’m pretty happy with my current setup for now, but always got an eye on alternatives 👍

[Toaster]

I guess when you last said "I'm done" you really meant it. 😢

[ToMuchNeverEnuf]

When we do the USB stick to roms, is there a way to have the system pull those files onto the SD card?

[jigretro]

Ahhhh mate, another excellent Sinden lightgun update….if I owned all the parts I would deffo give this a go but I would need to by absolutely everything (even my cpu is only a notebook 🤣), that could all add up to be pretty pricey…..with that said if I had most of the stuff to hand then I would deffo give this a go……great walkthrough….even I think I could give this a good go and I’m a right computer noob 😂 👍👍👍👍 great stuff!!

Would you recommend batocera on the rasp pi 3 B ??

[lsdowdle]

I'm guessing you didn't get a Raspberry Pi 4 before they became impossible to get due to parts shortages... or you have one but it is otherwise occupied?

So, after having fun with the Batocera UI, do you look down any on the minimalist MiSTer FPGA UI?

BTW, "ya'll" is really Southern United States... and most Southerners when they stray away from the South stop using it. I grew up in Tennessee but have been living in Montana now more than half of my life and I almost never hear the word "ya'll". Then I go visit the South... and it is everywhere. I've started using it in Montana myself occasionally, just for a change of pace.

thanks a lot for this video. it is very cool. in term of audience, batocera is now number one since 2022 with more than 40% of the retrogaming os market. batocera 36 will be released in the coming days with official steam deck support and it works very well. you can format the internal sd partition in exfat if you prefer via the system/developper/format menu. btrfs is recommanded while it works on windows too.

You can simply plug in the sinden and it detects it?! All this time and I was put off trying to use my pi as I thought it was a huge hassle. Gotta try that ASAP now. Thanks.

[oleschoolgamers]

Nice vid bud. How’s 2 player work in this setup?

[Svn-rrmu]

I am having a hard time finding any information on controller support/setup. Anyone?

[tfktfk]

Can i add Sega Stv emulator in Rpi3 B+ ??😊

[oscardelivery]

Hi, I'm from Argentina. I bought a Rapberry pi pico w and as a hobby I try to emulate batocera in this way. but when i download the image it says disk image does not exist is there any solution. Thank you

[Raphi]

[tedcrilly]

Just wondering, did you use your Pi overclocked for this video? sub'd :)
