Phenomenal video primo 👏 keep up the great work very in depth ,i have a question how do i exit batocera back into windows\desktop

@EnriqueCal Год назад

Thanks, I’m glad it helped you. I believe there is an option to turn off the device on the batocera options menu. From there you can remove the usb drive, and normally when you start the pc again it should go to windows. If not you will have to change on the bios as second drive the one where you have windows or as boot drive again

Very interesting. When you're done how do you turn Batocera off and switch back to the PC?

@PrinceofPwnage Год назад

When it comes to importing ROMS/BIOS to Batocera, can it read the C:// drive of the PC? I just bought a cheap Dell Optiplex 3050, has its own SSD drive, and i bought a 1TB flashdrive i play on installing Batocera into (it's USB 2.0, wish I had watched this video earlier lol)

@EnriqueCal Год назад

Yea you can wiki.batocera.org/store_games_on_a_second_usb_sata_drive but you could also set a bigger disk on that Dell and install batocera there plus all your games. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ukAOi3w2p4M.html

@PrinceofPwnage Год назад

@@EnriqueCal man, I'm having so many issues, all these videos make it looks super easy lol. Not sure if maybe the PC I'm using is too weak? (Dell Optiplex 3050 with the i5 6500, 16GB RAM), or maybe the flashdrive I'm using isn't adequate. It's a 2TB flashdrive from Amazon, but it's not a USB 3.0 it's 2.0. I flashed Batocera into it, booted it using BIOS, it started no problem. I then downloaded BIOS and ROMS, windows format the E: partition of the flashdrive, put the files from my PC C drive into the E drive, opened Batocera, press F1, moved the files from that partition to the Batocera BIOS and ROM folder, let it do it overnight since it took so long. (BIOS took like 10 min, N64 ROMS i got this mega pack with over 1000 of them) This morning it moved most, gave me error message pretty much all games from P to Z didn't copy over. I exited the file explorer, and then just a black screen. Restarted the PC, BIOS boot to Batocera, i get the load screen, and then black screen. I'm about to give up lol

@EnriqueCal Год назад

@@PrinceofPwnage a couple of options that you can try is first to copy the games slowly don’t do all of them together make 1 or 2 and try them then maybe more. Maybe because of the speed of the drive this started to create errors. The second option is to try another flash drive. If you want to use a pc for that why you don’t install batocera directly into it? Or you use it for something else? Install BATOCERA on any PC! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ukAOi3w2p4M.html

@@EnriqueCal i would just like to also have the option of using windows if needed. I will go to the electronics store later today and I'll get a USB 3.0 external SSD and give that a try, I'll let you know if it works!

@EnriqueCal Год назад

@@PrinceofPwnage great! Yeah tell me how all goes. Another option is to have 2 drives and dual boot on the pc but it can be a little more complicated

@Reelreactions999 9 месяцев назад

Make sure you get a high transfer speed USB and use a high speed USB port. I've had issues with PS3 or higher games which require alot of data to run properly. You may get glitchy audio or even stuttering video with lower transfer speeds on more demanding consoles.

@EnriqueCal 9 месяцев назад

Good point! Yeah for more modern consoles you will need faster transfer speeds

@KRIS__B Год назад

Hello I have a question: Is it possible to install the batocera on an existing disk but so that the batocera installation does not delete anything from the disk, or if anyone has a portable version and would like to share the batocera itself, I can handle the configuration and adding things. I have an 8tb drive filled with games + Hyperspin (under construction) and would hate to lose it. Batocera has what Hs can't give me that's why I'm asking??

@EnriqueCal Год назад

You can use a usb stick to install batocera portable and try it out before you make a choice. I haven’t try hyperspin but for what I have read. It seams that batoreca is more customisable and have more options to make it work on any system. No you can’t have batocera and another thing on a drive because when you etch it onto a disk is going to format that drive and create 2 partitions on it. I don’t know if there is a way to partition the drive and to have one part batocera and another one with hyperskin. My best advice is to make a backup anyway of your games. Do not format the drive you have and get a cheap usb stick and install batocera and try it out with some of the games that you use the most just so you can yourself choose witch one is best for you.

@KRIS__B Год назад

@@EnriqueCal Hello, I know, but how many photos, videos, etc. will fit on a pendrive, I'm not talking about games, nothing, unless it is possible to change the paths of photos, videos, games so that they are launched from another disk? I have 8tb in Hs and lack of space, so it's a pity that you can't install it, make portabla batocera like e.g. Hs and other frontends, I wouldn't like to lose these 8tb of data ;( Batocera looks really great, it has what I miss in Hs, unfortunately, as with everything, there are pluses and minuses: I suspect you can't make the so-called wheel in a wheel as with the addition to Hs nested wheels So, for example: next to consoles you enter and you have wheels ps1 ps2 etc and only then you enter a given wheel with games. I like to be organized ;) This is another big minus for me that on the disk, for example: external 12+ tb, there can only be batocera Of course, it's not a problem to fill such discs with games because there will be little anyway, but still :P I'll try with a Pendrive for a test and see what comes of it, but I'm not counting on fireworks or mayby 🤔🤔🤔

@EnriqueCal Год назад

@@KRIS__B you don’t need to loose all that data. You can copy all the games to your pc and after transfer them to batocera. Yea it doesn’t have an option like that. But I think is good organised in consoles. Maybe later with an update. Another option that you can do if you have an old pc somewhere is to install there batocera and use it as a exclusive machine for retro games. Yeah a pen drive is not going to hold too many. You can install batocera on that 8tb drive but you will have to format it that is the sad part because of all the work involved

@Wawacyph_Gastank Год назад

Can I play the usb on the tv I have a firetv

@EnriqueCal Год назад

No, for this you need a pc to use it. Because the usb drive doesn’t have any processor to run it. Or to make it low cost you can use a raspberry pi and connect it to your pc with batocera installed on it

@ruimacedo9025 9 месяцев назад

Hi one question this only works on a pc? Can i play this on a smartbox android?

@EnriqueCal 9 месяцев назад

I know that you can install batocera on an android box, but I haven’t test it and I don’t know if you can dial boot. I believe you can use a smartbox as dedicated batocera install but then you will loose the functionality of it and only do batocera
