Batocera

Batocera is a pre-configured Linux distribution for EmulationStation & RetroArch. Batocera is primarily for single-board computers (SBCs) such as the Raspberry Pi.

BIOS

Because Batocera uses RetroArch under the hood, the instructions are generally the same as RetroArch. By default, the Batocera BIOS directory is /userdata/bios/:

Batocera (Linux)

You can copy BIOS files from a USB drive named "USB-Drive" like this:

igir copy extract test clean \
  --dat "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro/libretro-database/master/dat/System.dat" \
  --input /media/USB-Drive/BIOS/ \
  --output /userdata/bios/

ROMs

Batocera uses its own proprietary ROM folder structure, so igir has a replaceable {batocera} token to sort ROMs into the right place. See the replaceable tokens page for more information.

Batocera (Linux)

You can copy ROMs from a USB drive named "USB-Drive" like this:

igir copy zip test clean \
  --dat "/media/USB-Drive/No-Intro*.zip" \
  --input "/media/USB-Drive/ROMs/" \
  --output "/userdata/roms/{batocera}" \
  --dir-letter \
