That's a very good point :)
I was thinking of installing something like https://batocera.org/ just for the looks and convenience of having all the emulators there rather than anything else.
I definitely wouldn't try and run windows from an SD card!
Some Pentium 4 are 64bit CPUs, but not all of them. If you can install Batocera x86_64, you’ll have all emulators available. If you installed x86 (I.e. 32 bits) some won’t be, like Dreamcast or GameCube, check on https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
Can definitely be done via files, you just have to find the right ones. Although I'm suspecting something's set to read only, which could be why settings aren't saving - they're saving to the same files you'd be editing, after all.
At this point honestly I'd be tempted to just start again. If I may make a suggestion, I'd recommend Batocera over RetroPie myself. RetroPie is great, the most customisable and has the largest community, but the problem with all the customisation is that a lot of stuff needs to be set up, configured and customised before it works well or even at all. Batocera is pretty much the same thing, but just, well, works. Since I switched I haven't had a single config problem like used to be a regular occurrence in RP.
Give it a try, at worst it just costs you a reflash to RP. YMMV and all that obvs :)
https://batocera.org/download - just scroll down and select Pi 4.
I can play PS2 & Gamecube games emulated on my SP4, so guess you'll be fine on the SP7 :)
Haven't tried Switch games.
If you are wanting a great Emulation System try Batocera (https://batocera.org/) best emulation platform by far IMO, have it running on an old NUC sat behind my TV, 20k+ games all at my fingers tips :)
Just use Batocera - it is set up to boot from a flash drive by default.
It is almost identical to Retropie because it uses the same Emulationstation frontend.
I presume OP either didn't know about Batocera or just wanted a challenge.
It's not that simple comparing Arm hardware (ie. what's inside your odroid/phone) to x86 (in this case that chip in your intel nuc, laptops, etc). I'm not sure if anything has changed but Mali GNU/Linux support is not the best either. You might have better luck with a different gpu driver but I'd ask people more familiar with that before. Try the Batocera forums (https://forum.batocera.org/t/odroid-n2) or the hardkernel odroid forums (https://forum.odroid.com/viewforum.php?f=179). Plenty of discussion on Batocera there.
Not familiar with Batocera either, but worth looking at the compatibility list https://batocera.org/compatibility. N2+ is not officially supported but the N2 is close enough. You can see libretro/imame4all is not supported on odroids as well.
For #2 Take a look at Batocera as its a collection of emulators running on its own optimized Linux that you can put it on a USB stick and test it now on your pc.
List of systems Batocera supports
https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
Guide to create a boot usb for Batocera to test from pc
Batocera already does this as standard, and is a simple as just flashing an image.
Were you not aware of it, or did you specifically need some obscure feature that is only available in Retropie?
You can do a pretty nice setup with an Odroid N2+ with Batocera for the OS. You can even install Android if you want a more familiar interface. Just have to find the right controllers and build the enclosure.
I don't think you can do this as a VM. It's gotta be dual booted. You may lose a lot of performance that way.
But I do have another idea. Batocera Linux. It is a bootable USB drive emulation Linux operating system which I just looked and it has Citra cooked in. Take a look at the link. Let me just state I haven't tried this but it would be easier then dual booting your pc. https://batocera.org/compatibility
Yes, you can downgrade live and not lose any of your roms.
SSH to the system
batocera-upgrade https://batocera.org/upgrades/x86_64/stable/last/archives/20201001/
This will downgrade you to 5.27.2
The geforce 710 isn't supported by the mesa or nvidia drivers. Try using the nvidia legacy build - Index of /users/alexxandrefs/5.27-nvidia-legacy (batocera.org)
For the iGPU one, try adding
intel-i965-driver=true
to your batocera-boot.conf
It started out as a Raspberry Pi running Retropie, but I am now using an old PC running Batocera.
Batocera is an operating system that turns your PC into a retro gaming console.
You can actually boot it and run it from a flash drive without making any changes to your PC, but I like to have a dedicated machine hooked up to my TV.
You don't need anything special for most of the games. If you have an old PC in your garage, it will probably do.
It runs all the old classics; Atari 2600, Nintendo NES and SNES, Genesis, original Playstation, N64, Game Boy etc.
I can't tell you where to get the games from for obvious reasons, but google is your friend.
There's a guy on youtube called ETA Prime who has loads of simple step by step tutorials such as this one:
(Skip to 8:10 to get an idea of what it actually looks like in use).
No I haven't tested that one. One thing I recommend is pick up a 64gb or higher micro SD card as the one that comes with it claims to be 32gbs but is actually 8gbs. You'll find out quickly as you start adding roms it'll start deleting old ones to stay under 8gbs but they'll appear to still be there. Basically you just need a SD card, etcher and the copy of Batocera designed for the Odroid go advance. They also include a USB card reader so you won't need that! Everything is super easy, just follow this video and you'll be good to go. Also the link to get Batocera for Odroid go advance.
The closest thing, in my mind, would be a Raspberry Pi running Batocera. Then if you run Batocera on the GO Advance, you'll have a pretty similar experience across both systems.
This is a bit of a copy paste from a week ago when I was talking about this in a Free Talk Friday thread, but I think it applies:
I was messing around with something called BatoCera. I'd been looking for something that was kind of a boot without windows for emulators, and really liking this.
It's a linux distro that can run from a USB stick and is made for having multiple systems ready to emulate from a single screen. It's kind of a cool project for an older computer for example. https://batocera.org/
Saw it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUfHAFyjby0
Last time I used anything like this was RetroPi (based on Retro Arch) on my Raspberry Pi, but I really like the interface of Batocera, the ability to change themes and download screenshots etc. I'm not sure if Retro Arch has those features as well, so I'm going to put that on a USB stick and try it later too just to get back up to speed with it.
I'm also loving those little mini PCs that ETA Prime keeps bringing up. A little old office box smaller than a console that can run everything up to PS2 and Wii games for example is pretty amazing. This video in particular focussing on a system with an Intel 6500T processor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkL79Upvs2o really caught my eye.
As a hardware project I'd love to do it, but I know fine I can do all of this on my main PC and there's no real justification for it other than "I want it!" :)
Are you running an older video card? the new version might have updated drivers that don't support your card anymore. I know the Nvidia cards older than GTX600 will need a different install media per the bottom of this page https://batocera.org/download
Series S only recognizes official XBox compatible controllers, so they have to be licensed to be XBox One or Series X/S compatible. 8BitDo makes a wired XBox version of their Pro controller which has a retro-style d-pad on the left so you get the SNES feel for retro games but the twin sticks are still available down in the middle like a DualShock if you need analog controls.
If you don't want to spent $300+ on an Xbox though, I'd highly recommend picking up a Raspberry Pi 400. It's the most powerful iteration of the Raspberry Pi 4 built into a C64/Amiga-style keyboard "console" so you don't need to add your own case and heatsink. In fact, the Pi 400 is reinforced by a metal plate that acts as a big heatsink against the SoC so it's actually clocked to run at a higher speed than the bare Pi 4 boards.
The Pi 400 is a great alternative to hacking a mini console b/c the OS install is as easy as flashing a Batocera disk image onto a microSD card and booting that up. There is zero risk b/c you're not hacking it like the mini consoles where the custom firmware has to be managed by the Project Lunar or HakChi software you need to keep installed on your PC. And you can even swap out the SD card for one flashed w/ the Raspberry Pi OS and you have yourself a fully functioning Debian-based Linux desktop PC.
Since the mini consoles are all discontinued, their resale prices are now inflated and can range from about the same as a Pi 400 to way higher. That's not to mention the tricky issue of counterfeits when you're looking at the Nintendo mini consoles. Finally, all the mini consoles were equipped with the bare minimum of internal storage, RAM and CPU power to run their retro emulators. The Pi 400 was meant to function as a light desktop so it has 4GB of RAM, as much storage as you want to buy for your SD card, and built-in wifi/ethernet/Bluetooth.

Well, that's what you get for using a shady website's "custom" image. Roll with the punches.
I would recommend downloading the official Batocera from batocera.org, it will save you headaches later on.
I would definitely check their downloads section and see all the supported devices and boards. You make already have a compatible device. If not a raspberry pi 4 and case should be fairly cheap. You can always find an older Dell for 50-75. I'm not sure what all devices are compatible, there are quite a bit though.
set up a micro sd card with the x86 version of https://batocera.org/download . then boot directly from the sd card. I have a drive set up for my desktop so i can turn it on for the nieces and nephews, works wonders.
Not an expert on handhelds, so I couldn't say for sure. But from what I understand RetroPie only officially supports Raspberry Pi hardware and PCs. So if it is on a handheld, it is likely that someone from outside the team made it happen.
But please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Here are the systems that Batocera supports. Not sure on the other 2 I mentioned.
Several are supported including Anberic and Gameforce.
If you want to keep plex on it, you can boot and use Batocera from USB (note you can’t run plex while Batocera is booted).
Check out: https://batocera.org/how_to_install On the last step you can hold down option during boot and you’ll get a boot menu to choose the USB drive.
If you want to go the distance and install Batocera to the internal disk, it’ll blow away your MacOS install and will only serve as a gaming machine.
You don't install any emulators, they are all already present. Simply place your ROMs in the appropriate folder and away you go.
You can check for compatibility for your platform here: https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
Coming from someone who has used several of theses projects like Complete Play/CP78 and others, trusted me, they are not worth the long run, even more so when you have limited storage.
750GB for these types of projects is relatively little, even more if you are using something like Complete Play that every update adds more systems and games that you may not want, and if you want to maintain games from the Fifth Generation and beyond, 750GB is too little for you be spending space on games that you may never play.
In my opinion it is much better to build your own setup with your games, emulators and front-end of choice, besides you will have all the control on updates and what stuff you wanted on it. The simple task of add a game or change a emulator can be a rabbit-hole to do in these projects, especially if you are not familiar with the front end and the software these projects uses, like RocketLauncher that is far from be something easy to configure and even worst when you try to change other peoples configuration.
If you wanted a plug-in play alternative, beyond EmulationStation that people already recommended Batocera https://batocera.org/ is a great option if you want something bootable.
You can do this with many Android TV boxes. I personally use the HK1 teal blue android TV box with batocera. It's pretty similar to ArkOs, it just doesn't have the support of all the ports that ArkOs does.
It runs the majority of PSP, Dreamcast and N64 well, and all the generations after this no worries at all. If you pop out the SD card you have access to the android TV box and you can play a whole bunch of emulators and android games on that too. Shop around to see which box suits you though but make sure it supports either Emuelec, Lakka or Batocera.
https://batocera.org/download This here will give you the downloads the different Batocera builds.
If you're not particularly partial to Retropie in specific, take a look at Batocera. https://batocera.org/download There's an image that will work for the N2+
Guide https://batocera.org/how_to_install
Make sure your N2+ is connected to the network and you should be able to hit the the file share. In windows explorer type in \batocera
Put in ROMs in the correct directory for each system. BIOS in the BIOS directory.
You should be able to find a relatively recently full BIOS pack on github if you searched for it.
So you're almost there:) as you have an x86 based PC at hand now, I would recommend checking out batocera (https://batocera.org/); that is an operating system specifically for emulation and super easy to use and due to its Linux core,it will probably work very well with your older hardware (have i mentioned that you usually don't have to install drivers under Linux?;) ), though especially laptop hardware can be quirky. The best about it is that you can start it from an USB stick,e.g. just to test it out or to turn your high end developer machine into a gaming rig without threatening the important data. This won't touch the contents of your hard disk at all and will even work without a hard disk:) all you have to do is - download the batocera image - write ("flash") it to a USB stick - tell your computer's bios to boot from this stick instead of the hard disk or a CD (it sounds like you've installed the windows,so I'd assume you know how to do this)
Though Linux doesn't support windows programs and games natively,batocera comes with a program called "WINE" (stands for "Wine Is No Emulator"), which basically catches windows specific calls and translates them into something Linux can understand. While it's not always working perfectly, it does a great job in many cases and I've checked their database, NFS Porsche unleashed seems to be supported very well; N64 should work without any issues,too and the required emulators are built in.
PS: even though we never had arcades around where I grew up,I definitely feel with you and I miss the old days with additional content as part of patches instead of DLC's,games that are functional at the time they're released and most of all,local multiplayer (all consoles take 4 controllers,but games that make use of that are very rare). On a side note: is it just me or are there mostly only games about killing something left? What happened to all the adventures,rts's,puzzle and jump & runs/platformers?
It has been changed because there were several reports that these shaders were not giving good results with 480 and 720p on several platforms. Unfortunately, no RPi4 user reported anything wrong during the beta period with these shaders (our betas are open to anyone and we want to get as much feedback as possible!). It looks like this is where there was a miss: if we had reports of something wrong during the beta period we could have time to fix it. Now, you have one line to put in batocera.conf to get back to the shaders of the previous version as explained here https://wiki.batocera.org/emulationstation:shaders_set#i_upgraded_my_raspberry_pi3_or_pi4_to_batocera_32_and_my_performance_is_poor like I wrote above.
Also, all previous versions are still available, for all architectures. This is also documented in the wiki https://wiki.batocera.org/current_and_previous_releases
And finally, if you are not happy with Batocera, you can use another retrogaming distribution. There are many options: RetroPie, Lakka, Recalbox, EmuElec… we even have a page on our website to list them https://batocera.org/others_distributions they’re all free and opensource.
i’ve done all the tinkering before. i know how to as well (see my post history). there’s a point where it becomes meh.
having to update the emu’s every time there’s a update isn’t exactly hyper important.
i started down this road when i got a free PC. using retropie on a PC was annoying. it also didn’t have some perks that going to other Os’ had. i tried many of the Windows based and Linux based and i eventually tried batocera 29 but there was an issue and went to others for months. the issue was resolved and have been using batocera 30-31 since. waiting for version 32.

También podés instalar Batocera. Es un sistema operativo basado en Linux para emuladores (ya los trae incluidos, sólo necesitarias un pack de BIOS que se consigue fácil por Internet). Sólo necesitarías un pendrive donde instalar ese O.S. y configurar el BIOS de tu máquina para que arranque desde ahí primero cuando esté puesto.
Cada emulador tiene su carpeta donde pegás los ROMS, es cuestión de buscar los que te interesen. Depende hasta dónde dé tu máquina, pero desde NES (e incluso anteriores) hasta N64 van a andar bien. Yo me animaría a probar PSX, Dreamcast y PS2.
*Existen varios otros mods Half-Life multiplayer, pero existen bots para cada uno.
You can try Linux instead. AMD openGL drivers have 3x~ better performance in Linux
https://www.reddit.com/r/Citra/comments/krfwl0/for_anyone_asking_for_support_about_poor/
>Additional Option 2: The User can download Batocera Linux x86 https://batocera.org/. This is much like Retropie that is a USB bootable Linux emulation OS. This has Citra Linux cooked in and should have the AMD Linux drivers cooked in as well. The user can reboot to Batocera off of USB without having to learn how to dual boot.
You have to refresh the games list (or reboot) after you put roms into the apropriate folders. Otherwise the Systems do not appear in EmulationStation.
You do not need to download cores for Retroarch. Batocera already contains all important emulators/cores (if you still miss a cetain emulator/core and you want to have it integrated in batocera, please come to the discord and try to convince (with good arguments) why this certain emulator/core has to be integrated in the next version of batocera).
Which emulators/cores/systems do you miss? Did you have had a look on this page yet?:
https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
Here you can see, which Systems/Emulators/Cores are available for which Architecture (RPi, x86, Odroid and so on).
Take a look: Batocera.linux for Handheld Consoles - https://batocera.org/download/
It supports; Anbernic RG351P, GPi Case, Odroid Go Advance, Odroid Go Super, Powkiddy RGB10, RK2020, Gameforce, along with any Raspberry Pi board, any Odroid board ans so many more, you could build your own so easily and have a nice custom system.
I think I already responded to you on Discord, but for completeness here, there is currently no 3DS emulation on Pi4. You can check the emulator compatibility for each architecture on https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
I don't want to discourage you if (like me) you enjoy building things for the sake of it, but if you just want a portable retro gaming device, there is an easier, cheaper and better way.
Get an old laptop and install Batocera on it. Batocera is like Retropie in that they both use the Emulationstation frontend. There is a version specifically tailored to PC hardware, so you can install it on any standard laptop.
You don't need a new or powerful laptop either, a Core2Duo is enough for most systems, or an i3 if you want decent N64 performance.
You should be able to get your hands on a suitable machine for less than you would pay for the parts to build something yourself.
Batocera can boot and run entirely from a USB flash drive too, which is ideal if you already have a laptop but don't want to dedicate it to retro gaming.
I was actually using an i3 before I upgraded to the i5. It worked great for N64 and GameCube, but PS2 wasn't quite playable.
It does depend on the graphics card too though. I was just using the standard onboard graphics, so maybe a better graphics card would have helped.
Batocera has a chart which shows the hardware requirements for each system:
También podés bajarte el OS Batocera (es un OS basado en Linux que trae emuladores ya pre-listos, sólo necesitarías un pack de BIOS que no es muy difícil de conseguir). Eso se instala en un pendrive (el propio link te explica cómo), le configurás el BIOS a la máquina para que primero intente arrancar desde ese pendrive, y arranca cuando esté puesto. Si no está puesto el pendrive, la máquina bootea desde C: normalmente.
Después es cuestión de buscar los ROMs que te interese jugar, dependiendo de qué sistema pueda mover tu equipo. Si puede mover Age of Empires III, yo me jugaría a que puede llegar a mover hasta Playstation y Dreamcast.
> Asus X541S
Perfect.
Ok from reviews it appears your model has a dual-core Intel Celeron N3060. Realistically this cpu should be able to handle these systems with no problem. So to see if it is an issue with windows, I would suggest you do as another redditor said and make a bootable usb drive with batocera on it. I would also check to see if your HDD is working fine by checking it with crystal disk info and crystal disk mark.
if it's not running fine with multiple emulators in windows, that would usually point to a hardware problem, but it could also be windows, hence the suggestion to try batocera in bootable mode.
RetroPie minus the faff. Basically all the settings are optimised straight out the box and if you want to tweak them further you do so in the UI, not a CFG file.
Can be dual booted on a PC too.
I was just thinking that Batocera may work for Mac users as well. This might be a great all in one emulator for you guys as well.
No need to dual boot in boot camp. Just boot to USB. https://forum.batocera.org/d/3150-batocera-on-imac-macbook-pro.
You can but I'd look into Batocera (https://batocera.org/). It's a linux system designed for emulation. I installed it on a drive and boot into it from a Mac or PC (can be a thumbdrive or a full external harddrive. Supports controllers. Runs Dolphin as well as many other emulators and is way more slick than launching games from a file menu with the mouse/keyboard. Not easy for complete beginners to set up but it's the easiest of these types of setups.
Are you doing this because you want to build something, or just because you want a portable that runs Retropie?
If it's the former, then go for it - you will have fun and probably learn a lot.
If it's the latter, then just get an Odroid Go Advance and put Batocera on it:
Batocera is an operating system similar to Retropie. It uses the same frontend (Emulationstation), so it looks and feels pretty much identical.
Here's a video of it in action:
There are no versions of The Retro Arena for Odroid C4 that I am aware of, but recently there was a beta build of Batocera released for it:
i dont know, but why not try batocera.org and see if that works ? it also has emulation station with themes as frontend - and all out-of-the-box. or try retropie ontop of another distro ? i used to have it up and running on xubuntu 18.04 past year.
Ever heard of youtube?
No, there is no firmware on the sdcard. But yes, there is the entire operating system on there. Which kids these days might call firmware, because they be like so yolo. (And only know smartphones, where the term is used interchangeably (because they are usually packaged together there) - mostly by vendors that dont want to confuse people.)
You basically can choose between three operating systems. Emuelec ( https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/releases/tag/v3.7 (you are looking for the odroid advance image)), batocera ( https://batocera.org/download ) and TheRA ( https://github.com/christianhaitian/rk2020/wiki/TheRA-NTFS-(Updated-9-7-2020) ).
You flash the image onto the SDcard, you put the sdcard in the device and boot it up. This will expand the partition to the actual sdcard size. You shut down the device once its finished then you can put roms onto it.
The moronic way to do so is to buy an extra usb stick and use the rom transfer function, the better way is to copy them directly onto the sdcard.
Issue, both emuelec and batocera use linux filesystems to store roms, so again, refer to youtube on how to 'solve' this with paragon, or install TheRA instead which stores roms on a ntfs partition that any windows computer can read.
Now you can blame yourself, that you found out nothing about this before buying the device.. ;)
(I'm posting this here in this thread, too, since it seems to be asking the same question.)
So I figured out a temporary solution to this issue, but I still think n64 really runs poorer on the beta releases than the "stable" release right now. Maybe there's a beta release out there that's not the nightly that has everything. The default n64 emulator doesn't seem to work anymore in this nightly?
Anyways, either go download the beta release here:
https://batocera.org/upgrades/odroidgoa/beta/last/
or change your updates in system to "beta" instead of "stable". When you've updated to the newest version, in system settings, there's a setting called "multimedia keys", and you can turn this to off. This seems to fix the r2 button problem. I can still exit emulators normally. Hope this helps.

Batocera is a linux distro that's focused on retrogaming. Sort of like a standalone Retropie, I guess. You can see from this link (https://batocera.org/compatibility) that it leverages RetroArch/libretro quite a bit, but it also includes standalone emulators, unlike Lakka, the official RetroArch-in-a-box distro.
Each Batocera version comes with its set of pre-configured emulators. They will appear on the menu as soon as you put ROMs in the corresponding folder.
However, Nintendo DS and 3DS are only available for PC right now, not for Raspberry Pi. You can check the compatibility on https://batocera.org/compatibility
Βαλ'του ενα Linux, EmulationStation η ετοιμο distro οπως το https://batocera.org/ και θα εχεις απειρες ωρες παιχνιδιου με Arcade games, Nintendo (GB/NES), Commodore/Amiga, PSX 1, Atari κτλ κτλ.
i don't understand what you wrote? (english is not your native language? could that be?)
Also what you wrote makes no sense, because on your first post you wrote that batocera in general did work for you (but you only had the issue, that you could not hide .bin files for psx and that gamecube and psp did run terribly).
which version of batocera did work for you and which version did not work at all?
​
please try the current beta of 5.25:
https://batocera.org/upgrades/x86_64/beta/last/
​
by the way: sorry for my bad english, It's not my native language (i'm german)
strange, for me this works without issues.
could you test the current beta of 5.25 if there is the same behaviour?
