I'm trying to get batocera set up on my son's Pi 5 but we can't get any roms on it and it doesn't see a single wifi connection on it. My local ISP has a router that only runs at 5 ghz from what I can tell so changing settings is not gunna work.
I've been meaning to play around with Batocera for some time, and today I decided to do so. I've been banging my head against it for a couple of hours now. I expect there's something I'm missing, so I wanted to go over some things here.
At this point I gave up on trying on the Pi5, thinking maybe it was just a bit too new and the Batocera image was still being worked on for that platform. I grabbed a Raspberry Pi 4b device I've had for years, downloaded and flashed the 4b image onto it, and booted it up.
Is the Pi just not a reliable platform for Batocera? I'd tried to use it once 4 or 5 years ago and had audio issues then as well (I was trying to plug it into a receiver and believe the issue would have been resolved with the edits I did today). Historically I've only used Retropie on my 3b and 4b devices and didn't have any issues like this.
If this is something that can be resolved I'd like to do so, as following what the team has done has been inspirational. I'm just assuming I'm using the wrong platform to give it a shot as this has been pretty disheartening so far. Thanks to everyone.
I'm still running batocera v38 on this system. It has Xbox, ps2 , all the ataris, all the segas, most of the Nintendos, MAME, ports literally tens of thousands of games.
Elder scrolls, fallout, command and conquer, Fable, halo, ratchet and clank, super Mario bros, Sonic the hedgehog, dungeons and dragons, mortal combat, doom. I have accumulated a rather absurd collection (I know plenty of y'all have me beat)
This game is called Amoeba Jump for the Atari 2600. My fiancee likes it. She prefers it to animal crossing, it takes two, harvest moon, Pokemon, all the games you normally show your girlfriend who doesn't game. Every time I fire up batocera I'll play a half dozen games, a couple from my childhood I always wanted to play but couldn't, a couple favorites, and then we finish with this basically every time. We've played for hours passing the controller back and fourth between a half dozen people.
It's basically doodle jump port for the Atari 2600. I think it's hilarious that I'm running a whole gaming PC for this.
Hello all! I'm new to arcade emulation! I've been doing some reading on it, and it seems a good basic starting point is using an old PC (Optiplex) and Batocera. So far, I think I understand the process. Batocera is the operating system, and you can add games via USB. The controllers and screen are peripherals. Dumb question time:
So, im trying to get batocera installed on a pc that i will use as a wannabe console, but ive been for hours trying one after another way to make the os launch and only once it did boot, but most of the time it either does nothing, shows the batocera logo and then black screen, sometimes black screen with blinking cursor, but never booting.
The pc afaik has 8gb ram, an i7 4th gen, a geforce 210 (dont remember exactly) and a 160gb hdd.
Btw, everything that has to do with activating nvidia drivers and disabling secureboot has been done.
I shared some photos of my bartop build a few weeks ago. I have now got some vinyl printed up for the marquee light box, to replace the corflute that I wasn't so happy with.
I 3D printed some edging/channels so I can easily change between designs.
I think I am ready to say I have completed the project, no more tinkering 😂
I'm trying to use my unraid server to store all the batocera share data.
I can see, access and edit the share from the batocera file manager if I type the address in (nfs://192.168.1.201/mnt/user/batocera).
I've commented out the sharedevice=INTERNAL and added the sharedevice=NETWORK and the sharenetwork_nfs1=SHARE@192.168.1.201:/mnt/user/batocera lines to my batocera-boot.conf file... Rebooted and it still uses internal.
I've I look in the storage settings Network isn't showing up.
I'm sure I'm missing something but I've been trying to figure it out for 3 days now and it's beating me.
I appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance
I have 2 USB gamepad and 1 USB keyboard connected to Raspberry PI, this is using Retroarch/MAME game.
If the keyboard is disconnected, my controller work well, order is unpredictable, but I can live with that.
The issue is when I connect the keyboard, it's recognize as a controller, usually the first and it will prevent one of the 2 controllers of working.
I would need to go to input settings under Settings -> Input -> RetroPad Binds, and redefine All Controls.
So is there a way to either prevent the keyboard to show up as a controller in RetroArch, or to save the change I do under the RetroPad Binds. I've try to disable AutoConfigure, to save the config file, to save override, and whatever I do, the RetroPad Binds are not saved.
Hi everyone,
I’m running Batocera on a DIY arcade cabinet using a DragonRise USB encoder (classic zero delay kit with arcade joystick and buttons).
Everything works perfectly on all systems (NES, SNES, PS1, etc.), but I’m having an issue with N64 games (for example Super Mario 64).
👉 My problem:
The joystick works fine in Batocera menus and in RetroArch menus, but does not move the character at all in N64 games.
---
### What I’ve already tried:
- Using different cores:
- libretro: mupen64plus-next
- libretro: parallel_n64
- Remapping controls in RetroArch:
- D-Pad mapped to analog stick
- “Analog to digital” set to left analog (forced)
- Reconfiguring the controller in Batocera
- Testing different input mappings
---
### Important detail:
My joystick is a standard arcade joystick (8-way digital) connected via DragonRise encoder.
So it behaves like a D-Pad, not a true analog stick.
---
### Question:
Is it normal that N64 cores completely ignore digital inputs for movement?
Is there any way to:
- force D-Pad to control the analog stick properly?
- or make N64 games playable with a digital arcade joystick?
Or is the only real solution to use a true analog controller?

Thanks a lot for your help 🙏
Hello ... I am running Linux Mint ... I have a second boot disk with Batocera for retro gaming. so when I want, i just select the Batocera to boot and play ... my goal would be to play on my smart tv instead .. on WIFI-Bluetooth ... is there a way to do that in batocera ? . . and how ... also would there be a way to boot that batocera bootable disk using Virtualbox, vm machine or else ?
Is it safe (or necessary) to use the latest ps3updat.pup 4.93 with batocera v38.
Would it provide advantages or not work properly with older rpcs3?
Hi all, has anyone else gone through the issues of getting the original Xbox to work on Batocera? Not sure why but the two BIOS files that I have are placed in the bios folder and for some reason I can’t seem to run any of my original Xbox games! Has anyone gone through this issue and now of a way to get this working? Tried playing Halo CE and I get continually booted out of it.
Just updated to the latest stable release. (10/25)
Plugged into a Samsung 4k Crystal HD TV.
Everything was worrying perfectly fine before the update.
Hey, is it possible to install/run Portmaster on Batocera v42? (I'm using a Pi5 if that makes any difference)
I'm having troubles getting it to load, is just freezes the system when i try to load it
Thanks
