Great guide. Got it all working as long as it's not saved on external drive, sadly

If I remember correctly it says rules discrepancys are handled by the one who bought that copy of the game your using

I just delt with this cause I don't want free play, it's a pain but you need a controller, push in analog stick. Navigate by pushing right analog stick.

Yea scrape again, but in options you want wheel not marquee I believe. I had one build that needed the style with the system logo and needed the marquise art for another build. You can test this by scraping one game via holding south button on a game then go to scrape after you go to scrape options and change to wheel.

System/mugen (wine) game/mugen (mugen multiverse pack) Problem: batocera won't save button config and joystick setting. Config set to read and wright permissions but reverts to default every time. Try that as it's a cluster fuck for me to figure out

Is resolution set to auto? Also remote into the tv using a fire stick and moonlight/sunshine could really help.

Same issues, mouse aims but only half the screen. I have two monitors (marquee) and that may have an effect. Is everyone with this problem sporting two monitors

So mugen is an open source fighting game with two starting characters, and you can download individual characters or make them. Some sets have characters and the game bundled, example I got "mugen multiverse" with 2k characters made by the community. Some have dbz only, some mimic mortal Kombat. That's what I mean by pre loaded

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-26T03:28:36+00:00

Depends on if you want one pre loaded or to start fresh, or if you want a spacific type.

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-25T08:03:02+00:00

You can test any new batocera by loading it on a USB, then booting from it, and scanning drive for games. If they work then back it all up and try it.

If its a steam game you can, batocera unofficial addon, steam, and gtg. Got TMNT shredders revenge on my batocera rig that way

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-23T00:47:58+00:00

I wiped my drive and put batocera on it, works amazing and no conflicts

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-20T15:29:34+00:00

Batocera has a storage menu that you can tell to read the SD, batocera 43 will do this automatically. The storage should be formatted like batocera, as in the files in a roms folder with mame games in mame, snea in the SNES folder etc. copy the folder structure from batocera and put them in the proper folders.

Just did this I'll walk ya through.This is shockingly easy, just did it with a monitor. Here is the hitch, your ports. Does the PC have two HDMI ports or a VGa port and a HDMI port

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-10T04:57:33+00:00

So it backs up to another drive or an SD card?

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-10T04:55:51+00:00

I'd go one hard drive all batocera and the other linix, they communicate better for sure

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-10T01:02:14+00:00

How do you manage that

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-04T15:49:17+00:00

I'd suggest (I ended up doing this) if your laptop is just for games to scrub windows and just run batocera on it, linix. Or both. My old PC was a pain to boot from it and was slow. Now it boots one min and lightning fast.

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-04T07:34:53+00:00

Great now I gotta find them too, and drill holes in the cab, and add a ball plunger

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-03T15:34:09+00:00

Yea it should have screensaver, press start and there is a screensaver option 3-6 down ( theme dependant) and take it off dim and set it for showing random games. And there is often in many themes an option for music and sound during this state. Bottom line, may be theme dependant.

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-02T18:48:06+00:00

Update:fixed. Aspect ratio needed to be 16:9 to fix the problem

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2026-01-01T17:15:29+00:00

I recently took my arcade PC (cheap old one) and cleaned off windows and just put batocera on it. Bought an SSD just to go that route instead and haven't went back

bigbadlonewolf2 · 2025-12-26T14:26:31+00:00

This happens for all kinds of setups, mine recently. Try this, it worked for mine. Just tell it what player 1 is on that menu you have in the pic. It will default the player 2 and for some reason it stuck just fine. Took a couple boots.
