Retrobat vs Batocera vs Recalbox

Small article on this Sunday morning, as i had to answer to a lot of questions this on several forums and FB groups about which frontend to choose. the answer is for sur not black nor white, depends what you want to do.

Personally, i just the 3 of them but for different reasons:

• Recalbox, for me is the more reliable, plug and play and stable frontend. Just need to burn the image on a Sdcard, usb key or SSD, and it works. No need to change emulators or core configuration. The problem is that you can only play until Gamecube, ps1,…
• Batocera, the best compromise in between Recalbox and Retrobat. You can emulate until Switch, PS3, Xbox 360, you are able to get the modern arcade games under windows such as Tekken 7, SF 5 Arcade,… But less stable than Recalbox, need to change sometimes the cores, and the emulators configuration to be able to play to several games. Hopefully, some developers are making some Batocera images already configured, with new emulators to play switch and PS3 directly installed and also some game packs and bios packs, for example RGS.
• Retrobat, less integrated, need to lauch it from Windows, but the more stable for windows games and the only way now to access all Teknoparrot games.

What i do:

• My New Astro City: I have Recalbox installed on my Raspberry PI 5 with Recalbox RGB Jamma: i need only real Retro games ans i need it stable. The best choice compares to Batocera 15 KHz and PC 15KHz, i tried the 3.
• My Taito Chewlix: I have a mini PC with Batocera V40 RGS distribution and games pack, i play to Arcade Games until Tekken 7.
• And I have Retrobat with Teknoparrot installed on my gaming PC to play the last games as Mario Kart GP DX, Revolt,… under Teknoparrot. At the same time i play Tekken 8,… on the PC.
