- RetroBat - The One Build v6.2 by Team Pixel Nostalgia - Intro and Install Guide
~200 Systems and ~18,500 Games!
The wait is finally over! Team Pixel Nostalgia have created a build that contains games for EVERY system supported by RetroBat! That's around 200 systems! It is being prepared and will be released in the next few days!
This is a collection of the 'best' games for each system. It was initially based on the 'Community Star Rating' used in Launchbox, but has been enhanced using several other sources online, such as various 'Top 50' games lists published online etc. It also includes some of the teams personal favourites :) Of course everyone has different tastes and likes, but this will hopefully be a good starting point for most people.
The number of games per system varies and this is down to having the right balance of content versus size. Those disc based systems that can take up a lot of storage have lower numbers of games, whereas as ROM, Cartridge, Cassette, Floppy etc based systems, will have more games in general. The aim is to have great content, but keep the total size of the build manageable.
Another key point of this build is to keep it very active, with regular updates, fixes, additions etc, so many builds are released and then never updated and eventually become outdated. The team have made this build for the community and want you to provide feedback and suggestions etc for improvement, additions etc, for example, if your favourite game or one you think should definitely make the cut isn't there, let them know!
The build has been packaged in such a way, that you can be selective in what you download. You must download the base pack, but you can then be selective with the ROM Packs you download. This has been done as not everyone has terabytes of spare storage. Also, as it's been shared as a torrent, you can choose which parts of the torrent you download using your torrent client. The base pack and each ROM pack are in their own 7z files, so you can select and de-select them until you have what you need/want. This will also help save storage space and allow you to download quick if you only want a few systems. You can also come back to the torrent later and download additional packs.
All this and more will be fully explained here on my UA-cam Channel. Alongside this is the Team's Discord Server, which will hold more details of the build and allow a place for people to give feedback etc
Enjoy and happy gaming!

I am so excited that RGS team and Team Pixel Nostalgia have teamed up. Its like the justice league for retro gaming! Great way of setting up packs, I wish i can give more than one thumbs up.
I'm excited too! 😁
As always, a very informative video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for the video
Enjoy!
Need some help. When i start Wii i game direct from cemu i can play a game with controller but when i start a Wii u game in retrobat the controller Wont work. Controller is set up i cemu so dont know what i am missing.
Hi, first of all thanks for the great work done, I wanted to ask you 2 questions please:
1) where can I find the 5 prerequisites to download (I don't see links in the description, except for those of Retrobat and Add on), could you add these to the description too please?
2) and then, if I already have them on my PC, will it overwrite them or will it simply tell me that I have already installed them?
Thanks again, obviously I subscribed to the channel and liked it. From Italy ;)
They are in a prerequisites folder in the root of the build and it won't hurt if you already have them and install again
@@rapsterstechhangout Thank you very much 👍
Thanks Man. Regards
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing this great work!
I've downloaded the one build - The main build, but I'm getting an error when I try to execute the retrobat setup.
MSVCR100.dll was not found. Is someone having the same problem?
Have you installed the prerequisites?
@@rapsterstechhangout Hello!
Thanks for the quick response. I have the problem in the step before, extracting the files. But I think I solved executing the RetroBatSetup in the setup file instead. It's extracting now, I hope this works :)
Thanks a lot for all your videos and of course 'The One Build' one question if I may - I have downloaded all the add-on packs, do I just copy the folders into the main Retrobat folder? as when I've done this it says that I will be overwriting a lot of files. Thanks again for all your work
Yeah just copy them over and say yes to overwrite 👍🏻
@@rapsterstechhangout Perfect - thanks again for all your hard work - it’s awesome!
The psvita archive contains images, videos and m3u files only, roms seem to be missing.
Thought I would mention it but it is probably more the case of me overlooking something and having a dumb moment.
Hi, it's meant to be like that 😊 PSVita stores the game files in with the emulator, this is part of the reason the base pack is as big as it is.
@@rapsterstechhangout ah that makes sense, so yep me being dense rofl.
:)
is there anything proprietary with this that we can't add our own packs/games? (like for example there were certain things from VMANN builds previously that required the use of how things were done on his build) - thanks again, this looks awesome!
No, we tried to keep it as standard as possible, so you're fine to add your own games.
So i downloaded this ans took 2 days and did exactly on the video but im having problems..The install is very slow, and i get stuck at green install screen.i enter the letter F for my external hard drive for install and see the folder created and files but i dont have the Retrobat exe.file to load to up the app in the bottom in the RetroBat folder..its missing.i get stuck in the green screen stating excracting and never see the RetroBat exctraction completed, to them exctract All Rom Packs🤷🏽♂️Need help🤕 I have a reformatted 2TB external hard drive so inhave the space required
The extraction does take a long time due to size and number of files. Maybe try just expanding the base pack first, then 1 ROM packs and then try it.
@@rapsterstechhangout I did that too.i extracted the base file and also could not locate the RetroBat start exe..in the file, so it's not thier..I was wondering how you where doin it on your video because when u extract to ur drive and completes (bas) the exe.is in the folder 🤷🏽♂️it's weird because I completed the whole download file which was like 1.5 TB..it's like I have everything but the start up RetroBat exe. So I can't start it up🫤
So since I couldn't get it to work like that, I did it manually by extracting all the base folder and installing RetroBat install and then extracted all the roms pack to the rom folder in a 2TB external hard drive which I formatted it.👍🏽it worked 😁Thank u so much for the hard work and much appreciated
Hi this looks amazing but I'm curious is it fully configured every emulator all just plug & Play?
Hi, yeah all ready to play. Obviously everyone's PC is different so there may be a couple of systems that you have to change the video driver for to get the best performance, or you might not need to change anything, it's impossible to say.
Does this require a bios pack to work? 90% of my systems won't launch and gives me an error "An Error Occured: The Emulator Exited Unexpectedly" I have installed all the prerequisites and installed roughly 30 systems but only one or two launch properly.
Everything you need is included along with the BIOS pack. Have you installed all the prerequisites?
Hi. First of all nice job. I have a problem when trying to launch any zaccaria pinball. I have an error about a DLL openAl32.dll missing. I looked in the zip file of the one build in the zaccaria emulator folder and I could not find this DLL. How could I fix this error as I do not want to download this DLL from internet.... Thanks
Hi, there's a fix for this posted on our Discord Server 👍
discord.com/channels/1006854943157788722/1241823814325895188/1271873186262155357
So you're saying this build doesn't require a particular drive letter? How did you manage that? I don't think I've ever seen that before. Did you just not include any background music or other things that require associations?
Yes that's correct, RetroBat is designed to be portable, however there are some emulators that store data outside the RetroBat folder (in your Windows profile). For these we re-packaged the emulator executable and injected the data into it, so it launches as normal but uses data within itself rather than in the Windows user profile, thus making it fully portable. The build does have background music, I don't believe it's path dependent though? The BatGUI app used to be path dependent, but it was updated recently to remove this dependency.
@@rapsterstechhangout very interesting... I didn't know that BatGUI had received this update. Also yeah maybe the background music isn't path dependent I don't remember it's been a little while. I think maybe I was thinking about the custom slideshow I have for my screensaver. Does this build have any kind of slideshow that starts after a certain amount of inactivity?
does your installer script, or the prerequisite installers need an internet connection? or can all things be installed offline after we get the torrent(s)?
It can be run offline, it simply extracts the 7z files to the drive you choose. The prereqs are all local, so no need to download anything.
I'm curious to know, please. Does this have the update-to-date version of PSC2X? As im struggling to update mine on retrobat. Even doing a fresh install shows the verson from December. Thanks (Looking forward to get a 2TB SSD so this will fit😁)
It should have the lastest version at the time it was created (a few weeks ago now) but I'll check the version when I get a chance.

Nice work.
Been downloading for days now and seeding at good speed still. However downloadspeed is 0.0 now. Percentage downloaded is 99%. Can somebody please seed.
Is that the public or private torrent?
I think tbe public. Downloaded from arcadepunks.
@@rapsterstechhangout downloaded from arcadepunks so I presume the public torrent. Full download btw including all roms
@@rapsterstechhangout Public torrent ( I think ). Tried to sign up to back me but unsuccesful up to now. Could you please dm me the private torrent? Would really like to get the complete download.
will this all fit on a 2tb external fully unpacked
Hi, yes it will, it's currently around 1.5TB if you choose to install all ROM Packs and the 2 add-ons.
@@rapsterstechhangout i grabbed a 5tb installing now looks amazing my only worry is my rig running i7 2600 3.8ghz 16gig ddr3 ram gtx750ti 2gb gddr5
You should be able to run most things. I have an old i7 4th gen at 3.4Ghz, 16GB DDR3 RAM and a Radeon R9 270X with 4GB of DDR5 RAM 👍
