1TB - Batocera Arcade Punks image - SteamDeck showcase - Wow it’s Epic! 

I have it the same way man and totally agree the steam deck is the best all round AAA and emulation Linux handheld you can get at the moment

😎👍Batocera forever man ☺️👍

@@SonicLoveEmulation Steam Deck is number 1 in my opinion. Also, I'd say that ASUS Ally may be the second runner up as being the best 7 inch x86 handheld out there. Especially, when it is being sold directly in stores. That makes it a much bigger deal than I thought it would be!

@@fonzitheman I agree! Batocera has just become my most favorite firmware.

Going to buy a steam deck just for retro gaming, looks amazing 👏

Definitely worth it

I'd say go for it!

Worth every penny

Just get one. Have one SD card for emulation and another for Steam games. Forget about the ROG Ally. The Steam Deck rules.

I made decision get steam it’s when need test out bestbuy 1usb drive again

I have not tried it sadly so am not sure

For the price the steamdeck is unbeatable at the moment great emulation and AAA gaming

I doubt you would regret getting yourself a Steam Deck! So, many things you can do with it as far as gaming.

To expensive for me my retro emulation brothers ☺️😁

@@fonzitheman It was expensive for me as well. I had to save from paycheck to paycheck before I was able to afford mine. I could have went with the lower tier, but I really wanted the higher tier so I end up settling for the mid tier. I built up a little more funds to get the mid tier version, I was late but I got one.

@@jonathonearl482 More expensive here in AUS. Not available locally, you can get it from some online retailers, but even then the base model ends up from $540-570 USD minimum. I ended up paying usd $377 for the win600 3050e. Still really more than I originally wanted to pay for a handheld.

wait till I do a video with GameCube, ps2, then that should help you make a decision

There should be 3 builds to download from arcade punks website for the steamdeck

@@SonicLoveEmulation Yeah, I'm hoping to do it once and for all and go for the big one. Can I put in a 1tb card in my laptop and save it directly to that? Would I be able to, space wise, unzip it directly on the card and do everything on the card that I need to do? Thanks brother

The oled version is awesome

Should be there buddy

@@SonicLoveEmulation Ah, yes, thanks. Its underneath the 512gb dl!

@@jqweary I have not tried it but, I should think so as long as it let's you boot in to it bios mode but it would have to be a 2tb stick or drive

sd card but I had to download it to a hard-drive first then flash it to the sd card

@@SonicLoveEmulation and is there a setting in the steam deck to boot from SD card?

​@@jobearesto9746 there is.

​@@jobearesto9746yes. Power down, press vol- + power, hold the vol-.... you can work out the rest when you get your SD card.

@@qotsafan7638 try pressing start to get the menu up and go to sound settings and try different options of output. Let me know if that helps

That's such a shame man

@@SonicLoveEmulation yeah I am not sure what the issue was, but I am a big fan of Batocera either way. Still love my Steam Deck too. :)

@@damienblack1283 it's one of the best handhelds still for absolutely everything

Yes you can have batocera for windows of there site and just add your own stuff but I do think arcade punks has windows images though

Thank you kindly Lon

I have the 256gb image 512gb image and the 1tb image from arcade punk’s website and then I have my own 1tb batocera build I did myself and a 500gb emuDeck image I built up to

@@SonicLoveEmulation nice which one are you showing in the video.

What issue are happening

@@SonicLoveEmulation figured it out...something in the Batocera folder of the 1tb image isn't playing well with the 64gb emmc version, not sure what it is but i just took the 512gb AP image which had a working batocera folder over to the 1tb and then it fired up ...

Yes it’s free man it took little over a week to complete and set up

Wow Epic Thank you

It’s a great image zocker how is you foot feeling now?

@@SonicLoveEmulation 👍 better but not as goid as it should yet

The download took about a week to download and complete the process to a hard drive then extract it the 1TB image then flash the image to Sd card all taking time due to the size

Downloading from Arcade Punks isn't a speedy affair. I used to use my GPD WIN 2 and leave it switched on 24/7 as it's so low power.

I did a video on the 256gb image if I remember right it have good Dreamcast and n64

Not sure I will have to have a look in to it

In my experience with the light stuff NES-PSX 5-6+ hours. Heavier stuff GC, PS2 ect 4+. Really heavy stuff like WII U and switch 2-3 hours, more like 2 for switch.

That’s about right also depending on brightness

All work well and Masa is about right with the battery life

@@masamasa1815 around 6 hours of PSX is awesome! Even that amount on GC/PS2. Thanks!

@@SonicLoveEmulation I'm considering to get one to focus on emulation and the "battery life per system" is a key feature for it. Huge thanks for the video, Sonic!

Should be start and select

I don’t have the oled steam deck to check sadly but it might be because of the new coding it might be using but I would not know till I try it. But I will let you know and do a video on it when I get mine to test. And maybe keep a eye out on the arcade punks website to see if there is a update to a oled steam deck or you could google it to see if someone has done a video on it already man

@@SonicLoveEmulation I will! Thanks for the reply! 👍😊

Not to sure as I did not have that problem man sorry about that I think the best thing to do is try different roms and if that dose not work there is settings for sound maybe mess around with them and try different settings

Running Batocera fine internally from a 2TB SSD on my LCD Steam Deck. But not a preloaded downloadable image though I mean. Made my own build. Downloaded v39 base image off the Batocera site. This is the best way. Time consuming yes but better. Pre made images you never know what they are doing. They may be modifying cfg files,and then when you update Batocera to the next version, it may break something.

Thank you very much, so what are you using to emulate on the steamdeck? As in batocera or emudeck?

⁠@@SonicLoveEmulationthanks I’m using batocera. I actually figured out a work around for the wii exit alt f4. Every other system exits with escape.

Yes that’s the one, sorry about the late reply…but glad you sorted it out man

Head over to there website there should be a table to click on for handheld and the steamdeck and there is a written part that tells you what you need and how to do it buddy

@@SonicLoveEmulation okay thank you

Still trying to figure out I think it’s fat32 but can not confirm. Hopefully we can get an answer.

Not sure I download it by torrent then just extract the file then flashed the image but it took a long time to do as in download and flash

Have to use a torrent to do it on the arcade punks website there is a how to and links

@@SonicLoveEmulation thanks found it last night. Wish arcade punks would add links where it asks to complete the steps and they go to the pages that show how, was a little confused for a bit. Can I ask what you formatted your sd card to for steam deck? Is it the EXT4? Thanks for your response!

1tb just fits but make sure it’s a Samsung as some cards have less storage than others

Or you can go with a drive with more storage and probably work out cheaper

Not a bad image at all man

It took me over a week to download ha ha

am not sure, I know you can get rom packs but for a complete image am not sure

@@SonicLoveEmulation I’ve seen something called doujishin but still as lost as an octopus in a parking lot 😂

Both GameCube and wii u versions are on it

@@jqweary there are some emulators now available for ios

@@SonicLoveEmulation yes, iOS emulation is awesome. Just don’t have these type of custom builds yet 🕹️📲

@@jqweary oh right I see it's only on windows and Linux at the moment and android but it only early days for ios emulation so soon it will have the opportunity

It’s 2 versions arcade punk picture 2 are differents check

Older versions have issueson the OLED deck. You would best need to use v39,that should give you no issues on the OLED deck Ofcourse you would have create your own build. If you are looking for pre builds, well thats another issue.

What fonz said 👏

What game or what emulator are you using

Gamecube

@@sephiroth-k8f should be select and start

@@sephiroth-k8f failing that try holding select and a,b,x,y buttons individually

Yes they have a windows version on there website batocera

@SonicLoveEmulation I actually just started tweaking a bit wars coinops build It's working out great with some added emulators

Well, when it comes to handheld PC's there could be issues cause of the inbuilt controls. So just cause its a 'windows' PC handheld doesnt mean the windows version (really X86 64) of Batocers will work..properly anyway. Cause if you check the Batocera changelog, information for v39 it says :" Initial support for the ASUS ROG Ally" As well as steam deck oled, and some other models. V39 currently still in beta but if previous stable release dates are anything to go by v39 stable would be out sometime this month, at a guess. Also, v39 has TDP settings for mobile X86 64 devices, we can adjust powermode setting also TDP setting in wattage values for Ryzen series cpu's. Per system or game. This will be very welcome for those using Batocera on mobile X86 64 bases handhelds. Tested on my win600 too btw.

It’s not bad loads of apps to use not as good as windows but still gets you by
