    Although it is a minor touch, I like how Batocera indicates which games have RetroAchievements available with a mini trophy icon next to the game. I wish that feature would be available in Retroarch on mobile devices

    Already have this setup on a 1tb external SSD and use it on a old dell laptop that I bought for $20 cuz it had no keyboard and the battery didn't hold a charge but it came with a dock and logitech keyboard... I bought the right model keyboard for $40 after and now it just stays plugged in for power on my t.v. so I can play all the retro games I want with Steam.
    Only reason I knew about steam was cuz Eta Prime mentioned Batocera Nation's channel and I watched all his tutorials on getting things setup.

    I just did a build like this the other day.... I got a thermaltake V21 core case because it fits into the Ikea Kallax shelf I have lying on its side as my TV entertainment center. Intel i3 10100, 32 gig DDR 3600, RTX 12gig vram 3060. Installed batocera on a 1TB SSD. Also have a 2tb wd black 3.5 drive. I have run into an issue with controllers working fine for native Linux games in steam but not working inside the games if using any version of proton. I have found many fixes on the net .... I'm not super good with Linux so I didn't do any of the terminal stuff. I simply disabled steam overlay and the controllers work in game again. They just take keyboard controls and map them to a controller automatically. Tried three controllers. 8bitdo SNES 30+ pro (like the video), an Xbox one controller and a few PS3 controllers. All work great.

    For cheap external drives, WD is currently selling 2tb portable refurb drives for $35 with a warranty via ebay. Hard to beat for cheap storage.
    Otherwise I have one of those canvio portable drives in 1tb - picked it up around black Friday last year for $25 and it's held up great as a game storage drive for Xbox and has survived multiple drops and all the other wear and tear of a 9yr old

      Hey bud, just fyi, turns out those 2TB external drives are a scam. All they're made of is two low capacity micro sd cards soldered onto a pcb, with the firmware tweaked to show the 2TB capacity. isn't that some bullshit?? Even WALMART doesn't know any better yet.

    Hello @ETA PRIME I am building a retro gaming pc. Its a optiplex 9020 with a i7 4790k and a 1660 super and this video made me decide what to do. Thank you for all you do.

    • @terrapinflyer273
      @terrapinflyer273 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you go w the 9020? I was thinking about going for a 7010 since they avoid Dell's proprietary nonsense. But might opt for other cheap mobo options since I have a custom case and all components needed already aside from a grey box 4-pin psu.
      Looking at several 4-pin options, but just realized my rail strength might be too weak to support 3rd gen Intel and up. But, in case you're interested: Intel DH67, Asus B85M (-E), Asus H81M (-A), Asus H110M, and Dell Inspiron 5675 / 5676 / 5680. All motherboards going for great prices, all using 4-pin cpu power, and some can be found cheaply as mobo cpu + ram combos.
      Might also be worth looking into Lenovo M93P, HP Elite 8300 / HP Compaq Pro 6xxx (3rd gen?), Dell Precision, and HP Z420 or Z series in general. The last two support Xeon E5, and some support v2+ Xeons. Which, the 1620 v2 and 1650 v2's pack a wicked punch for performance. And (last tip I swear lmao) some Precision models come with (iirc) PSUs anywhere between 600W and 1200W.

  • @jamesswoger9251
    @jamesswoger9251 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is currently untested because I haven't setup batocera yet, but when it logs in your user, you should be able to have it start steam. I'm not sure what desktop environment it uses yet (does look like an openbox window when you can see it doing it's initial steam install). This would, in theory, keep it from having to log you in every time you start a game. I'll update this some after I put batocera on a thumb drive to figure out better specifics.
    I also don't think leaving steam running in the background is going to hurt much performance wise, except maybe network performance and drive related slow downs from background updates, but one never knows for sure.

  • @derekswitzer9624

    I think that one or several NVMe external enclosure would help you to test all the SOs you test in different computers.
    One partition with VENTOY to install from there to its own main partition full speed (500Mb/s almost sure).
    And as 2Tb are near 200 USD and probably a 2 Tb small factor one for the Steam Deck or even a 2x 2Tb one (I know hey exist for the normal size) would be a great pocket game repository. It can be a promotional video for whoever would make those 2x NVMe enclosures.

    I am using Nobara 36 and it is kind of a long term version of this, even automatically installing proper drivers for nvidia cards. I am able to play all of my steam games with no problems. I am configured for mouse and keyboard so don't use controllers much.
    I would like to add this approach for controllers. Given how large (40 GB) some games are it might t be worthwhile to set up separate individual USB sticks with specific games. That would give sticks you could label and reduce wear on each one.

      It would be cool to hear ETA's take on linux distros and which ones to use for diff hardware specs. I'm currently running Lubuntu 20.04.5 from a USB2.0 drive with Steam, Lutris, and Heroic installed. Along with Wine, feral gamemode and various other useful gaming things.
      It's really surprising how well it runs AND games being limited to USB2.0 transfer rates. With the low resource overhead (~350-400MB ram on a clean boot) I'm able to play Hollow Knight and Wayward maxed out at 1080p on my low spec 2008 hardware. Which was my aim!
      On Win7 with heavy usage services disabled both would stutter just a bit, but to the point that they were unplayable.
      I unplugged my internal hdd and installed from DVD to allow for full install to USB. Looking to try AntiX next, as it looks to have even lower resource usage. And Ubuntu and Big Linux for secure, portable daily drivers.
      Also lol at your username 😄

    I run a weaker SBC and with it, some emulators on Batocera x86 do perform better than on standard Linux desktop OSes. I don't expect it to crank out AAA visuals but being able to play many 2D Steam titles with that OS would already be a huge step up in convenience.
    All I want out of Batocera now is to have some way to run the GameMode daemon and a CPU frequency scaling utility to squeeze out the most performance of low-end machines

    If you could add PC games that have been downloaded online (like how we've all gotten roms over the years...) then this would be the berries.

      You can add non-steam games and proton is available for them too. Some games don’t work like DBZ fighterZ, but 90% do.

    I’m trying Batocera in RPi4 and its a mess to configure. I cant get proper scanlines in some cores (too dependant on screen resolution). Maybe Bato in pc is better.. but i still prefer “native” emulators if i’m using a windows pc.

      They don't have as "excellent" support as Steam... but Lutris, Heroic, and GOG are all making good progress. I've gotten Rocket League to work in Lutris with solid performance. (The Steam version had it's linux support neutered. Runs, but no online play.)

I considered using Holo ISO for the steam deck experience, but it feels like Linux OBS just isn't there yet to stream like I do in windows. Guess I'll just have to get a cheap Win10 key and kill windows update like I did on my main PC.
