Dig the Trek Interface, I used to have something like that on a Linux box 20 years ago, but I think it crashed often lol. I love RePurposing trashed PCs into Batocera Boxes, I've been trying to figure this out for years, and someone finally made a simple OS Packed with a simple interface. My 2 Younger ladies like to tear through the PCs we find and do the Cleaning & Refurb carefully while they are learning something cool from dad Holy Crap, I haven't see a USB Drive mounted like that as the boot Drive, Tahts Nuts Well Done Sir~!!

Batocera is pretty awesome, this is my first go with it. And yes these thin clients are pretty odd little boxes. Awesome that you and your kids are into this kind of stuff as well - love it!

even if it only runs 8 bit and 16 bit retro games. that is still cool stuff. there is a huge arcade game list that M.A.M.E. could do also or final burn alpha. For all the people expecting N64, PS2, Dream cast you need something with more power. something like a Pi 4 or 5 or a micro PC . Mine is a HP micro PC from Amazon. $130 running launch box front end. toss in a port of kodi to your Batocera drive. plug in a external drive and add you movies. and music. well done . I did not know about these computers. I am still ticked off with Raspberry Pi dropping the home market during the cough cough. toss one of these PC in a one up arcade. Swap out to real arcade controls and your in for FUN

Yeah it has no issues with 8-bit and 16-bit at all, which is my favorite era of console gaming. Good idea about a one up! I have an arcade cabinet though with a JAMMA interface, so I am playing around with the various 100 in 1 boards from China.

set a hot key on your game pad in controller setup. hit hot key and start to exit games

The documentation said that pressing start and select should exit you out of the game, but no luck. However, I found an article that said if you define player 1 and player 2 controllers, that fixes it. Also no luck. I then found that mashing every button on the controller over and over eventually exits you from the game. Your suggestion seems much more sane - thank you!

The HP T420 CPU is 64-bit capable. There's no reason to use a 32-bit OS! CPU is an AMD GX-209HA if you want to Google it yourself. You don't need to edit the gamelist.xml files. Just delete them and Batocera will auto create at next boot. If you went up to a T520, you'd have had a SATA M.2, 2 USB 3.0 ports (I prefer to have my games data on a second drive of some form), and Display Port so you can get audio output significantly easier.

Huh interesting, the specs show it as only 32-bit capable so I never even bother with a 64-bit OS. I will try this! I also have a T430 that has all the fun ports like HDMI so that's next on my list.

Nah.. it SUCKS.... all the cheapo thin clients are abysmally slow to the point of even lagging with n64 emulation and all the fast ones are crazy overpriced to the point that you might as well just get a 2nd hand laptop or simply any raspberry pi kind of device. I've tried running lakka os on some AMD APU dell Wyse and it was a total waste of time, it could only emulate 16 bit consoles and nothing newer really...

I hadn't yet tried an N64 so I gave it a whack. Honestly it ran pretty well, in my opinion. I think it was dropping a frame here and there, but it was very playable. I made a quick short to demonstrate: kzitem.infonVj8zAo9onI

@@jonobst yeah but like... I honestly hoped for much more but as is it's neither cheaper nor faster than some cheapo model of raspberry pi so it was a fail for me... Maybe it would work better on windows perhaps if there are some drivers it would make a nice XP machine (the and Apu models at least)

@@jonobst one more thing, I've given it some thought, perhaps it runs the graphics on the CPU when using Linux, the GPU might not be detected correctly because like however I think about it they should run much better hahaha sadly I gave mine away so I can't test it on windows
