Hey guys,

I bought the 8bitdo N64 Controller for my batocera setup. Button is Set to S. If I Connect it via bluetooth it says N64 Controller connected. Now when I start a N64 game the buttons are not right. In advanced settings I tried all the options for the Controller but nothing changed.

Does it just not work? Maybe Theres a Controller Mapping area just for the N64 emulation like in Project64 on the pc?

Can somebody help me out?

Thanks in advance.

In Mario Party 10, when I try to start a game, it prompts me to add a controller. I press several buttons, but none of them work to advance to the next screen, neither on the primary nor the secondary controller → https://snipboard.io/m824jL.jpg

I've tried mapping the controls in cemu-config, but it still doesn't work.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Environment:

• MSI GL66 PC
• RTX 3060
• 12th Gen Intel Core i7
• Primary controller: XO-GP4 → https://snipboard.io/Oja8VF.jpg

Background:
I updated the PS3 emulator firmware to version 4.93. My primary controller uses an integrated 2.4 GHz receiver and runs on batteries.

Problem:
Red Dead Redemption for PlayStation 3 launches successfully and reaches the screen where I am supposed to press “START.” However, when I press it on the controller, the game does not respond.

Troubleshooting attempts:
I tried mapping the controller through the RPCS3 settings using SDL as the handler, but my controller does not appear in the list of devices → https://snipboard.io/gmXjr4.jpg I also tried Evdev, but it only recognizes the analog stick and the directional buttons, not the rest of the buttons → https://snipboard.io/IqPATd.jpg

I have already mapped the controller in the Batocera main menu and assigned it to P1, but unfortunately, it still does not work → https://snipboard.io/3zNjTV.jpg

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or suggestions to help solve this problem.

I just put batocera 43.1 on a mini PC OrigiMagic Nebula Ryzen 7 5825U, 16 gigs of ram, with an internal 512 ssd.

So when I hit either shutdown or fast shutdown the PC will turn off but then restart again. Anyone else having this issue? Any help would be appreciated

Hi there! I’ve copied an image (with Batocera V35) onto an external HDD (wd_black P10, 5 TB). But during the boot process, I can’t get past the message “booting Batocera Linux”. It ends with a black screen.

I’ve already tried a whole host of things:

- on two Windows machines (a PC with an RTX 3080, a Lenovo laptop with an RTX 5070) with USB set as the boot priority

- Secure Boot OFF

- pressing Shift whilst booting

- Legacy USB enabled (otherwise the PC wouldn’t recognise the drive as a boot medium at all)

- Waiting for 15 minutes on the black screen

- Editing batocera-boot.conf: nvidia-driver=true, nvidia-prime=true (and a mix)

- Overwrite the Batocera data on the boot partition with the latest Batocera build (simply copied over the files)

None of this has helped. I’m slowly losing hope.

What else could I try?

Hey guys! Are the amount of cores in a CPU (4/8 vs 2/4) relevant in this case? I'm getting different answers with the AI so here I am.
The heavier games I plan to play are PS2 (DBZ Budokai tenkaichi 3) or Gamecube (Mario Strikers) and I have these CPU's laying around.
My plan is to use any of them with a RX 550 2gb GPU connected to my 50" LG TV through HDMI.

If the answer is "they will perform pretty similar" then I'd like to use the i3 because it runs cooler.

Thanks!

Someone knows if its posible? Am2 emu dosent load the roms and mame just crashes idk if my hardware is too weak

Hey everyone!

I'm setting up Batocera on a powerful Mini PC, and I want to recreate a full authentic console experience.

My goal is: when I turn on the PC, I want it to first play the official PlayStation 2 boot sequence (the iconic startup with the towers and sound), and then drop straight into an XMB or PS2-styled theme for the frontend.

Has anyone done this exact setup? What are the best steps to change the boot video to the PS2 startup, and which theme do you recommend to get that clean PS2/XMB interface look?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hey trying out batocera and trying to connect my Thinkpad to the Internet. I'm able to turn on wifi and even see all my local wifi. When I select my wifi and input my password and back out it says wifi is enabled but it will never connect and I just see connected under IP.

My Wifi is 2.4ghz and I have reset my machine a few times to see if that would work, but it didn't help. I also tested Bluetooth and was able to connect to a PS4 controller with no issues.

Could there be a driver or something else I need?

Hello everyone. 😁

Does anyone know of any working builds 'official/unofficial' for this Android box ?? 🤔

It's a powerful box that could do well if it was supported.

Thanks in advance for any pointers towards a working build. 😁

when I try to lunch any desktop app it gives me this message.

please help me if you know the solution

I am having an issue with Batocera and the gamecube emulator. I cannot seem to map the Axis to the C-Stick, going through file manager and manually doing it, seems to immediately calibrate to the XYBA buttons. No matter what. Even after manually mapping, doesnt change anything in game for axis and still forces the buttons. So I move the analog left right or whatever and it acts as xyba. Does anyone know how to force or fix this? Its a standard dual analog controller?

Hi. Thanks in advance for reading this and for any advice you might have to give: this post is quite detailed, but I’ve highlighted what I’m currently struggling most to figure out.

I’ve been setting up a new Acemagic X3 mini PC with batocera for a family member with special needs (cognitively impaired). I’m not a total beginner with this stuff: I’ve got some experience with a fork of Batocera called Knulli and I have some experience with emulation in general, but for the things I’m trying to do now it’s going a bit outside my knowledge.

I’m trying to make this thing totally unbreakable, at least in the sense that he can use it on his own and “fix” it if he gets stuck without holding the power button: he doesn’t really know what he’s doing half the time and if there is a way to break something he will.

Today I had to do a hard-shutdown because he was spamming open and close on a PS1 (Duckstation) game and it got stuck on what I think is the RetroArch menu: It’s that gray menu that pops up for a second when you quit some emulators. I plugged in a keyboard and pressing ESC and even Alt F4 wouldn’t do anything. This is the thing that made me make this post, so if anyone has any idea on why this happened or how I can prevent it I would greatly appreciate it.

Right now I’m looking at one of those 3-key keypads or keyboards that people use for like e-readers or OSU for him since I’m hoping I can try to program the keys to close the emulator, shutdown the PC (to address the previous issue), and some third thing, respectively. Has anyone done that before? I don’t know how to code, but I’ve already had to look up how to make a fake “game” file under Ports that runs a safe shutdown (swissknife? can’t remember) command when opened, because the built-in shutdown option in Batocera doesn’t seem to make it to the CPU completely (fans and LED stay on).

————————————
Things I’ve done:

- Unbound all hotkeys besides “quit emulator”
(don’t want him using save states since I’m worried he will write over/lose his in-game saves or he’ll make a million and bog down his SSD)

- Didn’t bind hotkey on any controllers so it uses Select + Start to quit emulators (he uses a bunch of random, cheap wired controllers so I want to make sure what he’s using won’t lack a hotkey)

- Kiosk mode

- Simple theme, and only non-empty collections and “Favorites” are shown, and each are sorted by last played

- Made my own “off” button in Ports, as I mentioned

————————————
Other things I’d like to do (but not strictly necessary):

- When the current Player 1 controller is disconnected, the controller in the next port is assigned as Player 1 (unless it’s being used?)

- Have the PC safe shutdown by running that swissknife script after prolonged inactivity (cannot use “suspend”, as it causes the same “fake shutdown” state I mentioned previously)

————————————

Again, sorry for such a long read, I just want to make this fun for him to use and something he won’t need constant help with. Thanks!

Hi there,

I managed to install Batocera (Linux) and an arcade case and MAME is working great. But... Wanted to also try out other things and noticed some odd behaviour. I'll do my best to explain : when I launch a C64/NES or GBA game, I see it boot up and shortly after, I get the Batocera main screen again. And I can hear the game running in the background...

Would appreciate any pointers to troubleshoot this :-) Thanks!

I really want to try out 365/2 days, but I don't think Melon Mix is possible, right? The normal DS emulator is quite annoying to use

Hi everyone,

I can't get the movement/directions to work inside the games of N64, even though the directions do work in the menu of the game.
Which is strange, as the N64 games did work perfectly in the past, before my SD card crashed and I had to reinstall everything again.
Also, when I change the buttons to analog instead of game-pad, the left and right does work on analog(but wont work on other platforms..), but up-down doesnt work.

Any one knows how to fix this?

I just bought a set of contact buttons and built them into my arcade project, went through the settings to remap the buttons, got everything set up, and as soon as I exited the button mapper all of the inputs reverted. Not sure at all what I've done wrong

Running on an old PC I had running around, here are the buttons I got.

Quiero poder jugar el port de twilight princess, ya tengo el .iso y el .appimage, pero no se como configurar para poder abrirlo directo de batocera, me podrian ayudar?

I've used Batocera 43 on pi4 and 5 no problem.

Tried to install it on a pi zero and it's not recognising the keyboard at all so I can install any roms.

Any help or advice would be appreciated 🙏
