Batocera.linux is an open-source retro-gaming operating system that turns computers and single-board devices into specialized gaming consoles.
Batocera.linux is a dedicated operating system built specifically for retro gaming enthusiasts. It allows users to transform standard personal computers, Raspberry Pis, and various handheld devices into fully functioning retro gaming consoles. Unlike standard operating systems, Batocera boots directly into EmulationStation, providing a polished, controller-friendly interface for browsing and launching games across dozens of supported emulators.
Designed for plug-and-play functionality, Batocera requires minimal configuration to get started. It supports a wide range of controllers via USB and Bluetooth, includes built-in scrapers for game metadata and artwork, and offers advanced features like rewinding, shaders, and achievements (RetroAchievements). Beyond retro classics, modern versions of Batocera also support flatpak applications, enabling users to run platforms like Steam and Kodi on their retro-gaming builds.
