Thanks for showing us this. In my opinion, that RetroBat has really solved so many of the problems of retro-gaming. Especially the save setting feature, man, that is incredible.

Love this video. I've been using Retrobat for 2yrs now and due to its ease of use and extensive options list it has become my primary gaming front end

@javybeaz3236 2 ай бұрын

Ive been using since last year it is the best. Blows away Launchbox, Retroarch and the others

@lbenegas Ай бұрын

Sorry for my basic questions. I am exploring options… what about batocera? How do they compare?

@IsmaelLa Ай бұрын

@@lbenegas Batocera is a whole Linux operating system with basically the same kind of setup. If you don’t need windows, use Batocera. If you already run windows, use Retrobat.

Nice tip Lon if you see this. If you click on say decorations for example with A in your case it will give you a list with previews of all Bezel options so you don't have to guess the one you want to use also on save states you can press Y in your case on the main menu when the game is highlighted to choose a save state and jump right in without launching game and doing button combo. and if you notice it puts a little floppy disc icon next to games that have save states it is next to the game manual icon

Installed great on an old windows machine I have but it doesn’t seem to recognize the directional buttons on my old Microsoft sidewinder controller. Guess I’ll have to upgrade.

I've heard from a few people having similar issues - I think you might need an x-input compatible controller.

I kinda attempted to get into Retro gaming several years ago using older Dell systems. However that was the time when the game manufacturers decided to monetize their ROMs making it harder to find them to actually use...for free at least. Has anything changed with that?

Thanks for this video! I've been setting this up but no matter what controller I'm using it doesn't work right. When I scroll through the retrobat menu it acts as if I'm pressing the buttons multiple times and jumps around making it unusable. I've tried wired and Bluetooth controllers. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

@@Tartifless can go into "big box" mode for full controller interface and it works just fine, Launchbox gives you the extra freedom to work in a desktop mode for editing and again, is much easier to work with.

Bigbox is paid software, and launchbox lacks autoconfiguration of emulators, everytime you change controller you need to redo the emulator settings, real PITA
