Steam Deck: Batocera (Showcase, Install and vs. EmuDeck)

Everyone knows EmuDeck - but do you know Batocera?

For those wanting a disconnected-from-SteamOS boot drive emulation experience, we have Batocera!  This offers a more turnkey solution than EmuDeck but loses a lot of functionality too.

In this video, we'll showcase a fully-vetted ready to run image of Batocera - full of games and media.  We'll compare and contrast EmuDeck's features and finally?  Because YOU voted for it on the Community tab - we're also going to install it, show you the pain points (and how to fix them) and help you get everything going.

Note: This video will not teach you how/where to get illegal files like BIOS and ROMS.  You're on your own there :)
