Why use Batocera? Since Batocera is a standalone OS, you can use the same Batocera sdcard on a different desktop / laptop PC or on other handheld PCs too!

How to Install Batocera on a Steam Deck

1. Boot Steam Deck into desktop mode.

2. Open Firefox and go to batocera.org

3. Download the Batocera image for Steam Deck.

4. Once done, open konsole terminal -

4b. gunzip batocera-x86_64-37-20230617.img.gz

4c. sudo dd if=batocera-x86_64-37-20230617.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=128M oflag=sync status=progress

5. Turn off the Steam Deck.
