Welcome to the [[https://batocera.org/|Batocera]] documentation!

Select one of the top-level topics from [[:sidebar|the main menu on the left hand side]] or use the search box in the upper right corner. If new to emulation or Linux-based operating systems, use the [[:navigation|navigation page]], which offers short descriptions of each page title.

All pages are written in English. Use the {{wiki:google_translate.png?nolink|Google Translate}} function from the menu at the top if more comfortable with a different language (or want a good laugh with some funky translation ;-)). Keep in mind some information that should not be translated (like option names) might be translated as well when using this.
