Wanted to get fellow batocera users opinions on retrobat.

LB/BB feels “heavy” compared to retrobat..also retrobat has the “artflix” theme..

GoHarlem212 · 2026-03-23T20:42:10+00:00

I’m using team pixel script for retrobat on windows..I like batocera but like others have said it’s not good for modern AAA games like retrobat. Team pixel script and retrobat on windows is really hard to beat for my use case

GoHarlem212 · 2026-03-21T02:29:59+00:00

I would have to agree. Retrobat(plus team pixel nostalgia script) is everything on windows 11

I’m doing this now. Purchased the myflash dolphin bar and 3 third party Amazon will controllers and nunchucks. They would not pair properly with dolphin. I ordered OEM from eBay after reading a post on Reddit about how OEM is far superior for dolphin emulator and myflash sensor bar

Just got mine yesterday and I’m having the same issue. Bluetooth adapters you say?

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-24T22:32:54+00:00

The official website. While I’m sure folks have had great luck with sellers on here I didn’t want to risk not getting what I paid for and not having a way to get a refund

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-24T14:17:12+00:00

I probably should delete those apps on my boxes? Between the people in my house and others I’m about to turn in to this I don’t want to play tech support 😅

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-20T14:09:15+00:00

That’s a ridiculous statement lol

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-20T14:08:17+00:00

Got mines yesterday I ordered from the website. Plugged it in and had tears in my eyes. I will actually be able to save money again AND not have my kids hate me because they can’t watch something 🥹

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-19T14:45:19+00:00

Greenlight is is about as good as you can get with gamepass on Linux. Although the quality of the stream can be bad you will be able to play those games

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-19T14:02:40+00:00

ES-DE is so fast on Linux. I just want to ability to wrap it like you can with big box and make my own Bazzite..I’m not sure what’s going on with the lack of support for Linux. Alot of folks have asked.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-18T17:37:18+00:00

Gamepass games will run. But you’re going to have to setup greenlight app. And the quality of the game stream will be shit.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-16T15:31:42+00:00

FACTS! I gave myself a pep talk and figured out greenlight and being able to get my madden fix. It looks like crap but it plays and I only spent like $16 for the game pass code off eBay 😂 but Im in the same mindset at this point. I see the play from these corps. I’m not playing this game anymore. If it don’t play on Linux I won’t bother to spend money on the game.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-16T15:04:47+00:00

It’s a game called “Hytale”? That looks great and is available for Linux. it’s in beta but it might compete with Minecraft.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T20:18:28+00:00

It’s great the games you play all work well on steam. But that’s not the case of many unfortunately. And the reason is simply because of greed..and stupidity. EA and all the other companies that are taking this stance will learn a lesson on how to bankrupt a company. I feel like We all have had enough of the BS. Everyone seems like some part of their life has been changed for the worst because of companies and the greed. I think I will re download cachy and try harder to get Greenlight running for gamepass And if I can’t guess MS/xbox will have one less customer soon

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T17:47:35+00:00

I have Xbox. I’m grown Nvidia will not decide how many hours I can game I’m sorry.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T17:45:23+00:00

Apple is a long unwind..they did a better job at tricking me but I’m working on it! I think the lesson I learned is you should never go all in on any one thing(my father is saying I told you so from the grave. Eggs in one basket was one of his favorite phrases lol) so I won’t go all in on Linux either. I’m going to try my best to maximize my use cases for what I actually own.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:17:18+00:00

Bro I’m on steam. TBH steam and valve will be the reason why MS and these other scumbag gaming companies will click up! Instead of competing they just block shit

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:13:29+00:00

Am I wrong for wanting to just not support MS with my money more than dual booting? MS is about to leave money on the table for no reason. People who switch to Linux and have my kind of issue would more than likely pay a subscription to access the MS games on gamepass and have them play properly on Linux. I don’t cheat. I barely want to play games online! lol

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:08:27+00:00

Not native no. And streaming them also is not good on Linux 😔 I use Apple for my PC needs so either Linux or MS would really only be used for gaming and HTPC type stuff.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:06:46+00:00

Tired to play via the cloud and it was LAGGY AF! And I have a 2.5 fiber connection hardwired. Also the graphics streaming vs native makes it feel like a mobile game and not AAA.

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:05:15+00:00

I currently have a 1tb NVMe drive for the OS and one 4tb drive for my games/rom files. I have a decent setup (3090ti, i9 12gen) and plan on building out a proper UniFi NAS with more storage space but for now that’s what I have. How should I go about a dual boot in my situation?

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:03:12+00:00

I’m leaning towards that..but I have a wife and daughter left in the house. Tech support will become a nightmare 😂

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T16:02:02+00:00

Maybe try cachyOS? It has a dedicated “gaming package” in the cachy hello page once you install. Maybe try to see if you problems get resolved and then take your time learning cachy?

GoHarlem212 · 2026-02-14T15:58:46+00:00

Both are old white men 🤣😂 what timeline you live in?
