A few weeks ago I reached out to Lbrpdx, who is the developer of Batocera, asking him if he’s okay with the idea of an interview.

Batocera itself is a free, plug-and-play operating system that turns a PC, handheld, or single-board computer into a retro gaming console with built-in emulators. I’ve used it on my PC’s, and I’ve used it on my Steam Deck - everything from the ROMs to bios, emulators and files all stored on a SD card without any performance issues. It’s pure magic to me.

Anyway, Lbrpdx said he’s very much okay with chatting to me, so I got the chance to ask him a bunch of questions!

If you’re interested in reading what he and I talked about (how Batocera began, how it is developing, the community and the future of things!), then you can follow this link to read all about it

That’s very kind of you!

I haven’t been sharing so much of these articles or interviews I’ve been doing here lately, mostly I think because it makes me look like I’m inundating the place.

But that’s so kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed it!

Very cool. I’ve got an old Dell mini PC running batocera and I very much like it. My only gripe is that scraping the art for a large library takes an obscene amount of time.

Does Waydroid AndroidTV work on batocera ?? I’d like to make a combined Home Media Center / Home Retro Console
