Hey i wanted to know that the link u gave in desricption for batocera bios it is the version batocera v33 and now i have batocera v38 so can i add this bios pack to my v38 batocera???? Please help
Question. Do we leave the bios files that we downloaded and pasted into the bios file in Batocera as is...I mean shouldnt we put them in a file(s). Like in the ROM file. Or if this is a stupid question, I apologize. But I feel like they should be organized.
So v33 is posted now. When you extract it there are 3 files: bios, ROMs, and save. It looks like the ROMs and Save folders also have bios files. Where do we put those? Thanks.
You just match the same folders. Unpack the zip and copy the three folders and paste in the root, so bios goes into bios, save goes into save etc. The same folders exist on Batocera.
thanks for your video. for information, no need to reboot. bios files are read only when starting a game. to check that no bios is missing, you can use menu > game options > check missing bios.
If someone doesn't see downloaded bios files - reason is becouse you didn't use 7-zip for extraction. I used winrar and explorer in batocera didn't see any files!
If you have Batocera on like a flash drive/SSD, can you connect it to a PC that has all the BIOS files and copy them over from there, or do you actually have to boot into Batocera because it's doing something in the background with those files?
@@shirtlesswithabeergut unfortunately I am still in the planning stages, just got together some older pc parts to try and put a build together and try out batocera. I will reply again to confirm if it works!
Hello, let's say there is an update for the OS batocera (think next one is 33 or 34), do I also need to upgrade the Bios files in addition everytime Batocera gets an update?
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. When transferring the bios to batocera it says error splicing no space left on device. I'm on 2hrs trying to figure it out.

HI great Video. But for some reason it just doesn´t work for me. I checked and re-checked. I made every step you made. On When trying to start an AMIGA500 Game, Batocera keeps saying: "The System has missing Bios File(s) etc..." Any Ideas? Thank in Advance.
Yes I was, I actually just figured out the issue, the bios files I had in there were uppercase letters, when I dropped the new files over for some reason they stayed uppercase, I went through and changed all the names, works now
Thank you for the video, I really appreciate your work. Everything works fine except for one: Atari 800 keeps telling me it needs original OS ROMs, when I try to select them in the emulator itself, it can't find them. What did I miss here? Thanks again!
Thanks a lot man. How do you exit a game on Batocera i can only exit games when using the Ninento64 emu but others i just don't how to. I have to switch off the system on the power button.
Can you help me. I have installed everything as you've instructed. Now when I select again it says loading and then goes straight back to the games menu. Before I installed everything I had NES games working fine. I haven't got a clue what I've done wrong?
@@OfficialChaseBrogan I did all the bios and when I try to run a game it doesn't mention missing bios. I did check the missing bios section and there are still some missing. But for instance PS2 is fine but still won't play.

Hello all. Do the Bios files V34-Dev also work on Batocera V35 ? have unzipped everything and have 3 folders, Bios, roms, saves that I copy all in the Bios folder on my Batocera stick right ?

I can see they are in the bios folder but it says the MD5 is missing. I have tried rebooting. Removing and re-adding and even rebuilding my OS. Plz help.
I have fixed it. These files don’t seem to all work with V35 so you need to get a different pack or the linked one needs to be updated. Happy to provide the updated collection if the OP wants them
Hey no this is a old link of bios files from several years ago you have to use a updated one for batocera since batocera 35 is much newer. Sorry for any confusion there.
