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!

[BrianJones-wkcx]

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.

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

[bigrob]

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!!

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 just turned an old Alienware Alpha into a retro gaming powerhouse with this setup. Thanks Prime for the great content always!

[arcee]

Would love to see Batocera working on the Steam Deck

[andril]

always good to see more content - Batocera is on my NUC and ODroid Super Go thanks to you

[mattdandrea]

nice! gonna update my batocera nuc and do this, thanks dude

[Firefoxfifty]

I have Batocera on a Mini PC and absolutely love it! Its a real retropie killer.

[bamcorpgaming]

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.

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.

Great video Thanks.. Keep bringing more of this.🔥

[RifterDask]

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.

[agoodun]

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.

[ABZerx_x]

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

[joerinaldi]

Great video, very interesting and will definitely give it ago as soon as I have a little spare time..thank

[vaidiknandwana]

Please bring old intro back .
It was awesome and i really liked the sound .

[marcusgurley]

You just gave me something ELSE to do with the HP EliteDesk and Intel NUCs I have laying around. Thanks!

[justinw]

You sound just like android 17 from the funimation dub of dragon ball z/super! His voice was so awesome!
