Title: Retrobat
Post by: Vocalitus on July 26, 2021, 03:58:58 pm
I have three Arcade 1up cabinets.  One horizontal, vertical and a sit down star wars for driving and flight games.

I currently have BigBox installed in them and it is starting to be a pain to administer them.  Don't get me wrong I like Launch/Big Box, I just do not have the time to fiddle with it.

A buddy of mine introduced me to Batrocera, and I have tinkered with that distro with the Pi and again it was fiddly to get working.  I have 3 i7 boxes in each cab and I want to stream from my Gaming PC or Xbox one.

There is an off shoot to Batrocera called RetroBat, but i am not sure which one is capable of using the Steam library, Epic or GamePass with the front end as BigBox does.

I also like the idea of sticking Retrobat on an USB and using a NAS to keep the files all in one place. 

Does anyone has any experience with RetroBat, and how easy would it be to configure a streaming service like Xbox GamePass with it?

I have a retrobat system working with emulators from nes to ps3 and nintendo switch, added Windows Guitar Hero, Steam library, Epic Games and everything else.
Let me know if you have any issues
