Turn a USB Flash Drive into a Portable Gaming "System"!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- The Batocera firmware lets you flash a lightweight, emulation-focused operating system onto any flash drive, hard drive, or SD card. So what if we flashed it onto a flash drive, loaded it all up, and then used that as a portable gaming "system" that could be plugged into any x64 Windows PC? That's what we're going to explore in this video.

I've been running Batocera on a 12 year old laptop. Dust off those old machines!
Edit (2024) Sorry! I had no idea there were any replies to this. FWIW, I'm still regularly playing/running Batocera on a couple of old 10" netbooks from 2010, very portable. Plays GBA and below just fine. I removed the internal HD and am running the OS from an SD card. You'll need to change the boot sequence on the PC to look for the USB or SD card first. I'm running an old version of Batocera 5.26 -- I seem to recall it ran the smoothest on my machines. I'm going to test later versions of the 32-bit OS to see if they work.
Old versions of the OS are still available for download on the Batocera site. It might be worth trying some out to see what works best for your PC. I have an Acer Aspire One and a Toshiba NB-305, both are 10" netbooks. Luckily, the original batteries still hold a decent charge.
What systems did you get to work on it?
@@grimpthemeltedchimp4705 16-bit and below. Edit: I just got PS1 to work as well.
Nice.. I have som old laptops, curious on trying this out.
@J K : did you used the gz/image file for old PC (1gb) for your USB or used the current one which is shown on the top of page (1.9gb in size) ?
@@zeesunoo6950 it depends on your pc. If it's 32 bit get 1gb. There are also issues with downloading using chrome as it automatically unpacks zip
For people new to the emulation scene, you should emphasize that this does NOT suddenly turn your old pc into a gaming beast. Hardware is important for smooth 1080p emulation gaming for the ps2 and ps3 for example.
To be honest, I prefer to run the retro games in their native res or at most 720p. Upscaling to 1080p or even 4K don't feel retro to me.
Most PCs nowadays should do well upto PS1 at native res. Anything higher, yes, will definitely need a powerful system.
You're right, but almost anything can a lot of retro games (actually retro, like, 80s and 90s games)... I know a lot of people are too dumb for pixel games but for the people that can appreciate them, this is great. (Tbh I think it's a bit crappy running games that have been released 15 years ago or less, sure, legally it's all pretty grey, but some things feel wrong and others feel right)
he never said it did... at all
@@skandababy correct. But for clarity he should emphasize on what it can and cannot do. As I said when you are new to the scene it's easy to get confused.
duh
This is awesome. I was thinking of buying a retro gaming console but the only good ones cost more than I was willing to spend. This is the perfect solution and I can’t wait to do this for my laptop. Thanks for the walkthrough this is the perfect little setup.
I'm impressed I never knew how easy it was to set up on a USB Flash Drive until I tried it was easer than I thought it would be thank you for uploading this awesome video! 👍🙂
this is probably the most exciting thing i've seen in terms of having a emulation daily driver setup. the handhelds are cool but man.....you can't beat the idea behind this.
can you use a hard drive also
@@reggiechestnut yes
@@reggiechestnut yes not work

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for uploading this Retro Game Corps! I love it!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Just tried this today and it works great! It's really nice being able to play my games on my PC without putting a ton of different apps on it. Thanks for the video!
Yes sir. I'm going to go it later this month
literally my first time hearing of batocera and now im hooked, thank you for this video! that montage at the end was great!
Checkout Batocera Nation yt channel for great tutorials on Batocera for PC.
"yeah man i wanna do it" love it.
I feel like iv;e heard him say that before
Yeah ma'am, i wanna do it was just what i always heard. Maybe that sounds better? 😅
@@wizzel22 brazilian fan 🤷🏻♂️
@@Steerable6827 RG351P starter guide video haha
This need a strong graphic card?
I'm really feeling this musical gameplay montage you got goin on here! More of that in the future plzzz
Thanks, that was a fun way to show off gameplay while featuring some awesome artists, I'll definitely consider it more in the future.
@@RetroGameCorps what size micro sd cards do you recommend for the RG350M? can you use just one card slot on the console or do you have to use two micro sd cards?
@@TheMonster83depends on your appetite
Awesome concept. The only hiccup I would anticipate is with the modern-ish systems that need some more tailoring to the PC you're running on.
"Watched some ETA prime videos." Love it! Both your channel and the ETA Prime channel are fantastic.
This is a great idea. I had thought up of setting up an external with a portable launcher build to be able to move it from pc to pc, but was concerned about the drive paths needing to be changed each time, but making the entire thing a self contained bootable device would resolve that issue!
wow! how did I never think to look for something like this?! this is perfect for a laptop
"Are you sure you- ..." "YEAH man, I wanna do it " 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly as soon as I saw the title I was hooked. Watched the video and let's just say I'm playing Pokémon XD off my USB rn
Thanks man, very informative! Already have emulation on Raspberry PI3 and PC, but this concept is fantastic. Preparing this now for the upcoming Steam Deck, which I have preordered. Also, great recommendation for this Keyboard!
YES, I was waiting anxiously for this video, thank you Retro Game Corps!
Awesome, enjoy!
Russ, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting this video out. I've been running Batocera off a flashdrive like this since you made this last year and it's been awesome running it on an old Dell optiplex with a 1030 video card on our living room setup. Can't tell you how many hours we've spent playing NGC Animal Crossing and Diablo 1 Hellfire through DevilutionX. I've been doing retro game emulation since 1997, but it's astonishing how simple and easy it is today.
Can you run PS3 with this setup? I really want to build a cheap PC that can emulate up to ps3
@@drewdman10 There is a ps3 emulator included with the PC version of Batocera, but I imagine it takes a pretty powerful PC to run it. I’ve never tried it personally, the PC I’m using barely runs ps2.
@@drewdman10 RPCS3 is relatively early in development and performance can vary wildly between games. The best you can do is look for benchmarks of the games you want to play with the processor you're thinking of getting (GPU is far less important than CPU for RPCS3, but I'd still recommend at least a GTX 1060 or equivalent).
I think a 12900k can just barely play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 60 FPS, but thats one of the hardest games to run that the emulator has compatibility with.
@@0osk Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't available for ps3! Are you living under a rock?
@@halgimwama you know what I meant
You almost brought tears to my eyes, man! I'm so happy with your video. This is absolutely insane and amazingly beautiful! Thank you so much!
took my old gaming laptop from 2015 and put a batocera USB on it for all my ROMs and emulators.
Perfect way to keep that thing useful to me. I love booting it up for some emulation. Even runs ps2 great !
Ps3 wiiu
Great work there! I have an external 2TB HD with Batocera installed on it! I'm working in an USB flash drive version now, just because i wanna do it. Keep on the great work man!
Thank you Fabiano!
I've just got the sandisk extreme 2tb external, can't wait to install this and my massive games collection, my pc is a £3000 area 51 so should run well.
This is really slick. Just the concept, a tiny stick turned into an emulation beast.
An RGC Classic! I share this video all the time and today I noticed it hit 1M views! Wow Russ, you are amazing. Congrats!
This is awesome, great videos. Can always use another flash drive, especially worth it if it helps the channel and watch it grow.
Wow, that "Unknown NES Title" at 7:24 looks pretty good. You should showcase that game on your channel more often. It's way better than that other game you were using before.
True, but I looked for it again and couldn't find it. It's total vaporware.
@jabroni destroyer i have the soulja boy handheld and i like it. several years later and it still works
Is this a joke?
Seriously? Tell me you're kidding
@@RetroGameCorps do you sell this?
Fantastic: you've shown me the perfect Christmas present for my gamer/coder daughter.
Nice video and concept :)
As you stated ETA Prime really has great content for stuff like this!
It's a bit unfortunate that people also going to adopt the misuse of the word "upscaling" when in fact "uprender" (increase of internal native resolution) it's applied to the emulator settings.
Loved this concept I've played games RETRO GAMES before on my phone even but I never knew you could put it all on a flash drive. I have to try this one🎮
You sir.......are a genius! I have been wanting to play games from decades past and this seems like a fantastic method. You have a new subscriber. Thank you very much!
that must be such a cool bonding experience to nerd out on tech things with your son, wish my dad did that!!! cool to know that your son is into emulation and all that
generally the best explanation and previews I've witnessed when speaking on emulation and setups. 10/10
Thanks John!
@@RetroGameCorps can you please send the intro video
I wish it were that easy. I spent the good portion of a week trying to troubleshoot batocera on a few different PC's and could never get it to work as advertised or get help getting it running... You did a really good job with this video, but I'm satisfied with all the games I already have in my backlog.
Weird I just finished setting it up on a 16gb flash drive at it works flawlessly
Where do you get the games from
@@TheKingwill12 Google is your friend
bruh.. this is dope.. been looking for some kind of an os for my pc retro emulation.. didn't know this kind of software exists.. thanks mate 😁you've just earned a new sub!
I missed this in my life! Thank you so much!
Recently loaded Batocera onto an older external hard drive, and discovered I could use it to boot into a 2010 Macbook I had lying around. I'm going to swap to a USB flash drive to make it a more portable system. Nice to have essentially a portable multi-console setup with built-in display. Plays beautifully!
I’ve always wanted to do something like this but never had any good solid info. You’re the best dude
Perfect!
Thank you! I'm just getting into retro emulator builds and you make it so easy
The best video I've found on this subject. I already have everything I need, but this video has inspired me to actually do it. Thanks!
Top video Russ, I will be doing this as soon as I fix my pc.
Let me know how it goes!
I love this idea because, while I love emulation, I hate having to fret about "Did I set this up right, did I screw this up? Does the image look as good as humanely possible?" So many questions and all that gone with this. Thanks man.
That's just being lazy.
@@samogx86 Nah, not really lol. Not everyone wants to have to tinker with all this stuff for like hours on end.
As always thank you for very clear explanations 👍🏻
Great job. How I have been waiting for something like this. It is worth an award for an excellent work for all generations, my children and grandchildren can play the games I played when I was young without buying all these consoles.
I tried Batocera recently and it is a pretty useful piece of software. I have an old laptop with no HDD and it was nice to be able to just plug in a USB stick and turn it into a retro gaming machine. I went through each system and picked the games that I might actually play and copied them over. It is pointless to have a full set of NES,SNES,Genesis etc... roms because you aren't ever going to play 90%+ of them!
yeah, i have all of them and i just play like 50 or 60 games
Thanks so much for your shoutout! I really appreciate it! Am now a subscriber too! Great video by the way!
BN is in the house!
Thanks for making the guides that made this video possible!
Had this on while doing some work and am absolutely going to try this out now. Also that track at 18:52 was beautiful
Absolutely really useful video,going to try this out on my laptop,very informative and has brought back some childhood memories 👍👍👍
I've got Batocera running my modded Arcade 1Up, and I love it! I have my BIOS boot priority set to boot from USB first, and then off the SSD if there isn't an OS on the USB. So it automatically boots to Batocera when it's inserted, otherwise it boots windows like normal. Alternatively, if you like the feel and function of Batocera but would rather run it from within windows, Retrobat is a front end that also uses Emulation Station and can be launched from within windows.
do save files chow up in every pc h plug the flash drive to?
@@ayendz6712 Yep
What BIOS and motherboard do you have in this set up? I tried to set this up myself, but my EFI/BIOS will remove unused boot options, so it resets the USB drive's priority every time I unplug it!
bro in retrobat we cannot use keyboard as a gamepad right?
I cant wait to use it with the steam deck!!! So hyped
Thanks for properly citing the techno artists in the vid. You'd be surprised how many don't cite anything.
It also amazes me groups like this can show up "pros" like Xbox when they complain that not everything is "upscalable" or not backwards compatible. They're running on maybe a quarter of the budget and make multiple systems run on one system.
Looks amazing I think I have something to do this weekend. Thank you for the video!
I can fully confirm this trick. It worked flawlessly like he said. Did everything he said. It worked. Nothing more, nothing less. Do as he tells you to do and you should be playing it. I love using my laptop as a gaming machine since I have a extra laptop I wasn't using. Win-win situation for me. Thank you so much Retro Game Corps
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does it have to be high end though? I have an HP 14 inch with Ryzen 3 graphics
@@RetroGameCorps do u have u a controller?
Would make a pretty good gift for friends or family that you know have a decent PC to run these emulators. Gets all the emulator junk out of the way and keeps it casual for them.
Totally! I usually install RetroArch on top of Windows, but I really like the idea of having everything on a separate storage device, and being able to boot into a standalone OS that isn't part of my Windows setup is appealing because I feel like it would be faster without all of Windows background services and junk.
Great idea!
@@westonscampbell wait I can do that if I do this? How?
This video was randomly recommended and now I’ve gone down this emulation, handheld, retro stuff rabbit hole the past 2 weeks. Ended up getting a vita and now a onexplayer 💀
Thanks for this video. I was looking for an emulation solution and i found one this looks amazing!
Duuude, this is awesome! I wish something like this could work plugging it straight on a smart tv or something, even if for old game systems only.
Those HDMI sticks are kinda like that
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. I have the day off and nothing really planned. Also just upgraded my external hard drive so I've got my old one laying around, just waiting for this. Here we go.
Awesome timing!
wow - it's so great to revisit this video on the other side. I totally ran like Forrest Gump for like 3 months & finally surfacing - I think I have at least 8 or 9 instances of Batocera & explored so much video game history (and still going!) I was amazed how far I got w an early 2015 Retina MBP w a busted screen & keyboard. I killed 2 brand new thumb drives within hours that didn't seem to like running Linux on them. I finally learned how awesome rsync is & how portable the SHARE partition is. last accomplishment was discovering v5.26 (mid-2020 build) boots into a mid-2007 vanilla white MacBook! this is when it was clear how well Batocera gets out of the way & provides as many resources as possible to the running emulator! it ran games RetroPie on top of Ubuntu couldn't. and last of all, I've never found a better use of all my old hard drives & random micro SDs I had lying around - it really has been a pleasure to be inspired by this video! 🙏🏼 ps. one more props to an amazing utility called Ventoy!
Thank you very much for the introduction to Batocera. I flashed the latest image to a drive and I'm using it on a Wyse Thin Client. Not only is it exactly what I was looking for, but it runs smoothly. I'm even running Dreamcast and PS2 games. I will try to figure out how to run it on an internal disk and how to run Xbox- I may just need to download the emulator.. I'm using a wireless $40 controller from Amazon. It works great even the vibration on dreamcast games.
Thank you very much!
I’m tempted to do this just so that I can remove the roms and ISO’s from my HDD (I’ll keep backups of course). Taking all of the effort out of installing emulators and remembering how they work is also massive.
Exactly, this keeps me from clogging up my PC with various emulators and game files.
This is what I'm going to do for my laptop. I have an external dedicated for roms for my backup. But I don't like to take it places with me
Yeah same, coz I emulate a lot and it does take a bit of storage off my system so being able to keep all my files on one thing will make it less of a mess for me.
I want to do the same just to replay games like MCDub, ProStreet and The Punisher and others, This is AWESOME!
Most of my gaming is on retropie, but this seems to have more systems.
Great video. One thing to keep in mind when using Batocera is remember that it is a Linux-based operating system. One thing that Windows OS has which is an advantage when playing retro games is DirectX graphics backend. DirectX in a lot of cases will allow for better speeds than the only 2 graphic backends that batocera offers: OpenGL and Vulkan. If you run a Windoiws version of Batocera called "Retrobat" you will still get the same menu settings and options that Batocera offers but it will also include DirectX as an option. Just thought I would mention this. I use both Batocera and Retrobat all the time and each has their advantages and disadvantages. DirectX will alloow older PCs to have better performance in emulating systems like Ninteno Game Cube and Wii, for example. Nice video - keep up the great work my friend. On really older PCs say like i5 4570 processors Windows does better especially because Vulkan is not an option.
Much easier time on Windows if emulating switch (unofficial but there are guides on adding yuzu standalone) as BetterJoy can keep the connection...
Well windows fanboys Valve Steamdeck shows that Linux indeed works great with proton. On Xubuntu my regular PC Playing Halo Infinite in 1440 no problem Cyberpunk Metro Exodus with DLSS and Ray. Retroarch doesn't care.
@@eleventy-seven As much as I'll shill for Linux in any anti-Linux thread... the original comment was about retro games, not recent titles. I think there are still a few areas where Linux is lacking (certain anti-cheat software can cause problems), but generally I think even most emulation works better in Linux (partially because it has less background resource usage, which helps on lower-end hardware). Xbox360 might be slightly problematic, and I'm not sure about Switch emulator performance, but I've not had issues with anything else yet.
However, regarding modern titles, I'm right there with you - I'm really excited about everything Valve's Steam Deck drive has been doing for the Linux community.
What advantage are there for linux? I'm thinking of building my own linux-based high end emulator console, I'm kinda new to the community but still want to make a complete switch to linux.
@@leifip8251 Mainly just choice in interface. There's a few different emulation-based distros around all designed to do slightly different things. As opposed to Windows where you're stuck with, y'know, Windows. Less tracking (if any) and open-source software is just more ethical.
Fascinating. Having recently used your new Vita hack guide successfully with ease, I think I'll give this a go so I can finally play the Xenosaga trilogy again.
Wow! Thanks for the proof of concept. I have the same emulators on my Samsung zflip 3. I can't wait to try this on out.
Great video ! Followed the procedure and it works really well ! I have a question, I am using a laptop, do you know if I can video output to a bigger screen ? I have just by connecting HDMI and it did not output natively on the screen. I have not tried modifying settings in Batocera.
Wow this is really cool! I wonder how my crappy computer would handle some of the newer systems lol. Definitely gonna try this out!
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
@@RetroGameCorps I’m gonna try it on an intel Pocket Pc.
Thank You for this video. I'v just installed Batocera on my flashdrive and it is awsome.
It is an amazing tutorial, I have flashed one for my kids and working amazingly.
Yeah thats the beauty of a linux distro here, there is little overhead, and it will be very fast and easy. If someone wants to see how good linux can be this is a great example :D
I've upgraded my rig in April ~ May last (2020) year. Good thing that I did. I checked out prices few days ago, graphic card prices have gone trough the roof. I've wouldn't have enough dough to do it today unless I've sold my house!
Yeah I feel you, my GPU is now worth twice as much as I paid for it in Feb 2020.
@@RetroGameCorps Do you think a GTX 1070 would be sufficient to play up to Gamecube/PS2/Xbox games?
@@neverendinchaos4800 Given that I'm running PS2 games smoothly on a GTX 1050 in a 2012 HP 8300 with a 3rd gen I5, I suspect a 1070 in almost any PC made in the last 5 years should have no trouble.
@@GurdF Nice. Thank you for responding to my question. I'm kinda new to the higher end emulation stuff. I've only messed around with the DS, GBA and PSP emulators in the past.
I've been meaning to test out the more powerful emulators, but I never really get a chance to. Plus the fan noise is quite loud when my PC is working hard...and the case vibrates/rattles and emits a slight buzzing noise at an annoying frequency when the computer is idling.
I want to change the case and cooling fans at some point, but I'm strapped for time as it is. I'll get around to it all eventually, but it's nice to know that the important parts inside won't need to be changed too soon.
Your video is fantastic.
I'm kind of an "Emulator Buff", so this is a fantastic program.
Thanks for your very detailed video!👍🏻
Last year I installed EmuELEC onto a microSD and used it in a TV box. Now it's time for Batocera. This sounds like something that's more accessible to other folks because it's practically plug and play.
Thanks for this tutorial, Russ.
Is it possible to run Batocera on BCM7268 Soc? It is Eon box with Arm cortex A53. Thanks in advance.

@@hawkguy7689 same. Ps2 emulation on the go. Gonna be amazing
I recommend if you are going to spend $50 on a flash drive, to actually buy a portable ssd instead. Flash drives will almost always fail way before a ssd and you always have the option of tearing the Portable ssd apart and install it internally if it is shuckable
Sometimes I just go back to your old videos and play the intro over and over lol
Bro thanks this is the ultimate classic games im gonna work on the process to install it on my new macbook m1 pro 14"
Hello Russ...nice video (as always) and good concept 👏 Next one for me will be a flash drive + Retrobat 4.2. Already installed on my PC but I will put this a flash drive. Advantages : no need to boot either on windows or Retrobat and portable. See you
Retrobat need Windows to run as it is basically a Windows app.
I'm curious about the potential of cloud saving. Would be pretty cool to have a handled like RP3 that you play on when you are out and about then come home and switch to PC and continue where you left off without skipping a beat. At the very least I could imagine only keeping your saves on your handheld but when you connect to your WIFI network your batocera running setup load up and save directly from and to your handheld. There would be no syncing necessary. Kinda like a Nintendo switch setup except there is no need to dock your system and the handheld fits in your pocket.
amazing video man. Really appreciated for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼
i have so many ideas for this, great video
Dude, that Unknown NES Title looks really fun, I wish I could play it sometime soon
I hate when they use obscure games that nobody can buy.
I recommend using win32 disk imager. I was able to copy my batocera USB in order to have backups.
I found the first few I created corrupted when my external hdd was connected. Not an issue now with my multiple copies!
I know I am late to the game, but I had never thought about this until my son got a new computer and gave me his old laptop. I was like hmmm what should I do with this. A google search brough this up and it is perfect for my little one to play some old games I grew up with to find that same love I had. Thank you so much for this!
I Am So using this!! Thank you so much. I always wanted a front end this compatible
I had a goal years ago that ill buy raspberry pi 3 and install retropie and make my own collection of games to the maximum console it can play but since i seen this now i will do this kind of method and makes things more easier. Thank you for the tutorial.
Hey Russ! Incredible content, as always. Huge fan. Question: Upon the first boot after flashing the image, it resizes the partitions, displays the title splash, then I get a black screen with a cursor. I'm nearly certain I'm doing everything correctly, but still unsure why it's not booting into the menu UI. Any advice? Keep up the great work, friend!
Just flashed a drive and have this happening to me as well, though in my case I get the logo and can hear the music playing but my display is just black, did you ever fix your issue and get it working?
@@hbartz99 Hey! Nope, never reattempted. I did a bit of research and found what I believe to be the cause. I believe (though am not certain) that my motherboard does not support Linux based OSs. Double check that yours does, as that may be the issue. Test your drive on another PC, if possible!
@@jonathanhagberg6033 Thanks for the response! I'll check that out for sure and test it on another PC as you suggest. I've re-flashed it a couple times now with the same result so I may be in the same boat as you. I appreciate the help :D

Well you've sold me on batocera. I'm going to buy a mini pc to sit by my tv and be my new gaming system
I wanna do the same thing. Any recommendations?
@@yungbuscemi83 I actually ran into some problems trying to install the software on a mini SD. Not sure what I did wrong to be honest as after my second failure I just gave up. To be honest I've been looking at a lot of the mini gaming PCs ETA Prime has been reviewing of late and will probably go for one of those, more options for emulation and they're small enough to bring with me in my luggage when visiting family. We could just hook it up to the TV no issue.
This will be amazing with the steam deck. No need to install a different os and multi boot partitions.
I am speechless thank you so much this is exactly what i was looking for. Best and fastest emulator diy process i have seen. Thank you
Thanks for all the Hard Work Adams Mom!
Never seen a 512GB flash drive before. So small too. My first ext drive , back in 2007, was 80GB with electrical connection and USB cable. The box itself was the length but half the thickness size of a brick.
Technology does seem to improve with time...
I saw a suggestion of loading and SD card with Batocera for the steam deck. I'll be giving that a shot for sure, although I'll likely also see about running things natively.
That would be insanely awesome
Midway in watching this video i fell in love with the concept and went to my to download Batocera Huge sega and PS2 fan so ganna be playing my older titles a lot with this
First time watching this and i'm so fascinated by it
