2026/02/08 07:09 1/8 Batocera Systems Batocera Systems Batocera supports many consoles, platforms and emulation related applications. To separate them they are divided into systems, which are used as a unique identifier across the whole Batocera landscape. This page gives an overview over all available and supported systems including their unique system shortname (same as their ROM folder name, most of the time!), the full system name, the manufacturer and release date. The systems are categorized by their hardware type and sorted in ascending order according to their release date. Take a look at our compatibility list to see which system is supported on a platform and what emulator/core is used. If you need a tool to organize your ROM collection, there are some tips at the top of the add games/BIOS page. Arcade Video game arcades were venues where multiple (usually game-specific) cabinets were set up for public use, often containing hundreds of games. These typically charged per “play”, which usually consisted of a single attempt at the game with limited lives, usually set up in such a way to boot the player off after a certain amount of time (unless they were willing to toss more coins into the machine). Due to each arcade cabinet essentially being its own “system”, most arcade emulators focus on emulating many systems in one program, the scope of which varies between projects. Before delving into any of the emulator-specific (or to phrase it better, “multiple machine emulators”) pages, be sure to read the arcade guide first.

Note that generation definitions aren't a rigid definition of power; some consoles from a particular generation were a lot more/less powerful than others in the same generation. It's more about its time of release.

Portable game console generations are in reference to their time of release alongside home consoles; in terms of power consider them a generation and a half behind. Earlier handheld LCD games were typically made to run one built-in game and maybe also work as a watch, but not much else.

Batocera also supports different additional applications that can be used to play software and games from other systems like DOS or Windows. If you're having difficulty running Windows apps using WINE specifically, refer to the WINEtricks page. This is also where the few special emulator-specific pages are noted.
