Sorry to hear about that, I have Batocera running on two machines as of this week-

The tall kit plays PS2 games super nice- and I have a 960GB SATA SSD in it simply because I had one laying around. The short one has a 250GB M.2 drive in it, and is probably going to be for dedicated MAME and some older SNES type stuff that would work well with an arcade control set.

Both have been perfect and I love not having to deal with installing and configuring Windows. I received these both for free from work so they've been a fun thing to set up for no out of pocket cost.

Nothing to be sorry about. I am sure if I kept at it I could have got Batocera going. But I decided that's not the way I wanted to go.
ther is something nostalgic about MAMEUI64. This is what pulled me away from Atari 8 bit computers. Hewlett-Packard - Pavilion Desktop with IntelŪ PentiumŪ III Processor 933MHz. Dial up days. I would bet many people here have never seen the old Mame UI .

Mame 149 is fully working. ( well  CHD's are extracting now) My first time working with CHD's. 6 days to download. (WOW, it all extracted. 47.3 gig)
Retroarch. Mame 2003 and 2010 work just as well.
no luck with ps1 yet. no luck with N64
T16 and SNES work fine.
this really is a beta set up.
I still want to try the steering wheel and PC games for low end computers. I have zero experience on actual PC games. 
Kodi still needs installed.
