How does Batocera compare to Retrobat?
Well, only thing Retrobat has over Batocera is it's a bootable program, like Retroarch.
Batocera has to be installed like any other OS. hence why i said External Drive for it. and why i have a PC just for it.
It's pretty simple to use, toss your bios in the Bios folder <unless stated otherwise> The wiki will tell you if it has to be in a certain folder., Roms same deal, and what format they work in <Zip/bin/cue ect>
Each system, then appears on your homescreen, after you do a simple Refresh, not a reboot.
then you can. lets say you are using a ps4 controller.
<90% Of controllers work just out of the box btw> tho you do have to Set a Home button so you can exit out of the emulators
you click the equivalent of the Select button, it brings up a menu. goto Advanced system options. you can set everything for that system there.
have a game that wont work with Duckstation? Hold Said select button on the game, it brings up the same type of menu like the systems. but just for that game. once you set whatever settings for that game. it saves that config for only that game.
Want art? hold said select button hit scrap wam it finds 3-4 different variants ect.
Don't know if you have the right bios? when you start a emulator, it'll warn you you are missing XYZ.bios
don't know which one? in the system menu, click Bios check, it'll tell you the name and MD5 checksum of it, so you get the right one
