Turn a USB drive into a portable gaming “system”!

Batocera firmware allows you to flash a lightweight emulation-focused operating system onto any flash drive, hard drive or SD card. What if we flashed it onto a USB stick, loaded the whole thing up, then used it as a portable gaming /“system/” that could be plugged into any Windows x64 PC? This is what we will explore in this video.

Note that when switching between PCs, depending on the configuration, it may require some adjustments in settings or in some cases may not work correctly. I'll cover some of these issues in a future video, but in the meantime, check out the Batocera discord (the pinned messages on their support channel are very helpful): https://discord.com/invite/JXhfRTr
