This is like people who insist building your own PC is easy.
No. It’s not.
It is if you know everything about it sure, but that applies to most things.
I don’t care about your raspberry Pi that I have to house, program, etc. I just wanna pop in a game and have it work. Easy peasy
Sure it ain’t as easy as just using a console, but batocera on pi is ridiculously easy compared to most other solutions:
- Download the batocera image
- Flash it with raspberry pi image writer
- power on the pi
- connect a Controller
- connect it to network
- the pi will automatically appear as network share, just drag and the Roms
- play
If you already have used a pi and disregard the download time this can easily be done in less than ten minutes. I know first hand using something like a Gameboy/DS is way more convenient, but compared to how long it took me to get the game running that came with my Xbox one that’s at least twice as quick (not even considering Xbox 360 games on one) so I’ll gladly take the time to learn how to setup and then do it
