FreeDown 32 Comments


In this video, I show you how to turn an old computer into an impressive emulation PC using Batocera Linux. essentially RetroPie / Recalbox for PC.
All this will work from a USB stick and if the PC you are using is powerful enough, it can even play 3DS PS2 GameCube Dreamcast and many more!

    You could just share the ROMs in a samba share and then mount that samba share to the proper directory and Bob yerr uncle.

    Hi. First I want to tell you I love your content. Have been watching it for awhile and subscribed :)
    I do have a question. I am pretty new to emulation and started with the PS2 emulator psx2 which is awesome. My currenet spec is

    I7 4970
    16gb ddr3 ram
    Gtx 1060 6gb version

    For most ps2 games i run on emulation i usually get 50fps regardless of settings. Yet I see you were able to get better results with weaker hardware on a different video. What are the best settings for my hatdware? I play on 1080p monitor and mainly aim to play ps2 games on x2 native if possible

    Thank you in advance and hope to hear from you :)

    This worked for a while, but I've had no luck with the newer version of batocera. My computer(s) skip right passed the boot from USB.

    Good Eta Prime,

    I have 2 questions:

    1- Does anyone have feedback with a Ryzen 5 3400G or Ryzen 3 3200G for Batocera PC?

    2- If yes, what is the maximum resolution reached on PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast?

    Thank you

    EXT3 can be used by Windows because someone wrote the drivers. Enjoy.

    Love this! Thanks ETA Prime! I’m setting it up on an old extra laptop now. I can’t believe how the PS3 remote automatically worked through Bluetooth already. Amazing.
    Now to find the source to DL the games at.

    I appreciate your effort making and sharing this video. 👍
