    Ive been using since last year it is the best. Blows away Launchbox, Retroarch and the others
  • @PoeLemic
    Thanks for showing us this. In my opinion, that RetroBat has really solved so many of the problems of retro-gaming. Especially the save setting feature, man, that is incredible.
  • @ShoelessJP
    Retro gaming content, hell yeah I love this stuff Lon!
  • @markalot
    I installed it a month ago using my little ITX build with a half height 4060 inside so I could play some XBOX 360 games. I love it.
  • Yay, awesome that you showed off Retrobat 😎👍 one of my GoTo’s for emulating
  • @Mario-tm6uv
    Love this video. I've been using Retrobat for 2yrs now and due to its ease of use and extensive options list it has become my primary gaming front end
  • @IamMarkSmith
    Thank you, Lon! This was great. This review is very useful to me
  • @AngryGibberish
    This seems to basically be a flavor of batocera for windows. Pretty cool
  • @666jamie666
    I have been using Retrobat for years. In my opinion it's the best all in one solution out there with the best fronted. Love it and highly recommend 👍
  • @garynagle3093
    Wow. What gem. Seems like it solves the multitude of configuration issues
  • @greekmanx
    Nice tip Lon if you see this. If you click on say decorations for example with A in your case it will give you a list with previews of all Bezel options so you don't have to guess the one you want to use also on save states you can press Y in your case on the main menu when the game is highlighted to choose a save state and jump right in without launching game and doing button combo. and if you notice it puts a little floppy disc icon next to games that have save states it is next to the game manual icon
  • @mavfan1
    Very cool Lon. The easy install makes it more accessible to friends and family who I know are interested in retro gaming, but like most “normies” need as few hoops as possible to get going.
  • @FlintG
    Yeah I am so setting up a usb hard drive for this front end lol looks so awesome.
  • @RETROBAT
    Hi ! Good video. Thank you 😉
  • @Zoyx
    I've been using RetroPie on a Linux mini PC. I may give this a shot.
