${PROJECT}

"A good game is like a good book or a good movie, it transports you to another world." -- Shigeru Miyamoto, game designer

Batocera.linux is a popular choice for retro gaming enthusiasts due to its ease of use, extensive compatibility, and seamless user experience. An open-source and completely free retro-gaming distribution, it can be copied to a USB stick or SD card, turning any computer/nano computer into a gaming console. It supports many emulators and game engines out of the box.
