Turn a USB Flash Drive into a Portable Gaming "System"!

The Batocera firmware lets you flash a lightweight, emulation-focused operating system onto any flash drive, hard drive, or SD card. So what if we flashed it onto a flash drive, loaded it all up, and then used that as a portable gaming "system" that could be plugged into any x64 Windows PC? That's what we're going to explore in this video.

Note that when swapping between PCs, depending on the configuration, it may require some tweaking in settings, or in some cases may not work properly.
