Batocera – The Retro Arcade OS

May 16, 2026

I have a mini-PC that my workplace isn’t using so I grabbed it and brought it home. With this home labbing I have been getting into I thought about having a retro video game box. Most people get a Raspberry Pi and install RetroPie on it. The limitations is the micro SD card that the RPi boots off of. I have a mini-PC that uses an M.2 SSD drive to boot the OS off it. So I chose that to host my retro video game box.

It only has a 250 GB SSD so I ordered a 512 GB SSD. As for the OS I found on called Batocera and it is designed to be for retro video game machines. So instead of installing Ubuntu and RetroPie it will boot up right to the Gamestation interface. Flashed that to a thumb drive and it isn’t installed because I am waiting for the new SSD. As for ROMS I am going to get them from The Internet Archive.

New Idea for a Show on Twitch.

May 17, 2019

With my friends at The Mighty Monkey Corporation (http://www.fc3roc.com) talked about doing more with their Twitch.tv channel. I had an idea of a show for them. It is called The One Shots. A bunch of games will play a different table top RPG every episode and then tell us what they think about the game setting and rules. Even if they don’t pick it up I will try and produce it on my own. The trick is getting the space, equipment, cast, and crew. Hopefully this will work.
