Bootable External Gaming System

Batocera runs directly from the external hard drive without replacing your existing Windows or macOS installation. Connect the drive to a USB 3.0 port, select it from your computer’s boot menu and Batocera will load automatically.

How to Start Batocera

Connect the portable hard drive while the computer is turned off. Turn the computer on and repeatedly press the appropriate boot-menu or BIOS key, commonly Escape, Delete, F2, F11 or F12. Select the external USB hard drive as the temporary boot device.

Mac users can hold the Option key during startup and select the external drive. A wired or 2.4GHz wireless keyboard is recommended because Bluetooth keyboards may not connect before the operating system loads.

Troubleshooting

If the drive is not detected, connect it directly to a motherboard USB port, preferably USB 3.0. Avoid USB hubs, docking stations and low-powered front USB connections.

If the computer will not boot from the drive, enter the BIOS or UEFI settings and disable Secure Boot. Older computers may also require Legacy Boot or CSM support to be enabled.
