00:00Hello everyone, this is Old Gamer, and today we're going to be teaching you guys how to set up RetroBat
00:08for your retro gaming entertainment, and also to make it look really nice.
00:15The person who is responsible for making these themes is by no other than Bob Morene. I hope I'm saying
00:24his name right. Oh, anyways. So, basically, he created this front-end theme for RetroBat and also Batocera, okay, and
00:38support both.
00:40So, to do this, we need to get RetroBat, then we need to get some games, and then after that,
00:46we're going to go ahead and set it up.
00:47Now, keep in mind, by the time you're watching this video, they will always constantly updating new themes on this
00:53website, so keep that in mind.
00:56Also, keep in mind that RetroBat is always updating as well. So, by the time you're watching this video, most
01:02of their versions have been updated and up to par.
01:05So, let's get started. The first thing we need to do is we need to head over to his website,
01:11okay, and the game we want to go ahead and get is Crash Bandicoot.
01:15So, right here on the search, we're going to type in the word Crash. There it is. And you have
01:21different types of themes. I'm going to pick Crash Bandicoot, the first game.
01:25That this theme was made by no other than Ketikati. I hope I'm saying it right.
01:34Alright, so let's go ahead and click right here where it says, Telecargar, means download.
01:41Okay. Telecargar. It's the way they pronounce it.
01:47Alright, so let's go ahead and do that. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to go
01:51ahead and come to this GitHub section here.
01:55And here is where you go ahead and download the actual HyperBat theme made by Bob.
02:01To do this, you want to do, click on this little green button which says Code.
02:06Scroll down until you find the word Download Zip and click that, okay?
02:10Once you do that, you want to head on over to RetroBat and you want to do is you want
02:17to click right here, the stable version for Windows.
02:21Okay? Because we're doing it for Windows PC only.
02:25Alright? Once you're done doing that, the next thing we're going to do is we're going to come over here
02:31to get the firmware for RetroBat.
02:34That was made by no other than Mini Cakes, okay?
02:37Okay? So to download it, just simply move it over here with this little blue arrow and download the BIOS,
02:44okay?
02:47Now the next thing we're going to do is we're going to need to go ahead and find the game
02:51that we need.
02:51And remember that it's a Crash Bandicoot, so we need to find Crash Bandicoot in this list.
02:59There it is. Crash Bandicoot number one.
03:03So let's go ahead and take the time and download that.
03:07Everything that you're seeing right now will be in the video description on the link below.
03:14You cannot miss a thing.
03:15So be sure to follow my instructions to the letter.
03:19Alright.
03:20So now that's out of the way.
03:22Go ahead and close this and this because we're going to come back here later on, okay?
03:26We're going to come back to this.
03:28Alright.
03:28The next thing we need to do is we need to put everything together, okay?
03:33So let's go back to our desktop download section here.
03:36And here we are.
03:37We got all the stuff we need to get it set up.
03:40The first thing we need to do is we need to go ahead and start creating and installing RetroBat first.
03:47To do this, I'm going to go to my D drive here because this is where I keep all my
03:51games.
03:52And I'm going to go ahead and create a new folder and name it RetroBat, okay?
04:01Alright.
04:02Let's go back to the download.
04:03And then we're going to go ahead and launch the EXE.
04:07Now keep in mind that it does take a while for it to launch.
04:11Just keep that in mind.
04:13So let's go ahead and do that.
04:16Just be patient.
04:18And then we'll definitely go through.
04:20Okay?
04:21So I'm going to cut this video.
04:23Okay.
04:24It went through faster than I expected.
04:25Usually it takes a long time.
04:27So let's go ahead and hit Next.
04:31Accept and agree to terms and license agreement.
04:36Okay.
04:36We're going to hit Next again.
04:37And then we're going to change the path.
04:39Okay?
04:40We're going to go to Browse.
04:42I'm going to go to my DiskVC, my D drive, and then the folder RetroBat that I created there.
04:49Alright?
04:50So we're going to hit Next.
04:51And now we're taking the time installing RetroBat.
04:55Okay?
04:56While we're waiting for this to finish, we're going to go ahead and move on to the next step.
05:00The first thing we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and extract everything that we got today.
05:04So we're going to go ahead and extract first the BIOS.
05:13There we go.
05:16While we're doing that, we're going to go ahead and extract here the theme that was created by Kathy, the
05:22Crash Banditube game.
05:27There we go.
05:29All right.
05:34All right.
05:35All right.
05:35Now, next, we're going to go ahead and extract also the HyperBat theme for RetroBat.
05:46All right.
05:51Yep.
05:52There it is.
05:52I saw it.
05:56All right.
05:57Okay.
05:58Now, let's go ahead and grab Crash Banditube.
06:02Let's go inside Bob's theme.
06:04Under theme, we need to find game theme.
06:08Under the game theme, we're going to need to find the PlayStation 1 folder.
06:15There it is.
06:18And then we're going to go out of HyperBat and then paste it right in here.
06:22Just like that.
06:23Okay.
06:25All right.
06:26Next, we're going to go ahead and grab the game.
06:29Go back to my D drive.
06:31We're going to go to RetroBat, ROMs.
06:37Find that PCX.
06:39There it is.
06:41And we're going to paste the game in here.
06:44Okay.
06:45All right.
06:46Next, we're going to go ahead and grab Bob's theme real quick.
06:49Cut it.
06:51Go back to my D drive.
06:53RetroBat.
06:56We're going to go to Emulation Station.
06:59Emulation Station.
07:01Themes.
07:02And this is where you put Bob's theme.
07:04In the theme directory for RetroBat.
07:07Okay.
07:08So, while that is going through, the next thing we need to do is we need to grab the BIOS.
07:15Okay.
07:15Let's go ahead and grab these.
07:17Cut it.
07:20D drive.
07:22RetroBat.
07:22Okay.
07:23And then we're going to paste it right in here.
07:26Okay.
07:27Let's go ahead and attach my controller real quick.
07:30So, we can show you how to set it up from here.
07:32It's already set up.
07:33But we just got to put it all together.
07:37There we go.
07:39All right.
07:39So, we're going to go back to RetroBat.
07:42And I'm surprised that they haven't made a shortcut for RetroBat.
07:48All right.
07:50So, we're going to go ahead and go to the D drive here.
07:54Inside RetroBat.
07:55And what I like to do is I like to take the EXE and create a shortcut.
08:02Okay.
08:06Let's go to Properties.
08:08Okay.
08:14All right.
08:15So, let's see.
08:17Send to Desktop.
08:19Create a shortcut.
08:19There we go.
08:20All right.
08:21So, we'll go ahead and close that.
08:22Go ahead and rename this.
08:30There we go.
08:33All right.
08:34So, let's go ahead and launch it.
08:36Now, we're inside RetroBat.
08:38You can see this is the default version of RetroBat.
08:42And you can see we only have one game left.
08:44Okay.
08:45So, we're going to go ahead and press the Start button on your controller.
08:50Okay.
08:51Under controller, we're going to go to User Interface.
08:55Under User Interface, you want to go to Theme Set.
08:59On Theme Set, you want to go ahead and click on that right there.
09:02Scroll down and choose One for All One Hyperbat by Bob.
09:09Okay.
09:10All right.
09:11Now, we're going to go ahead and go back to Theme Configuration.
09:15Oh, yeah.
09:15We need to upload it first.
09:18There we go.
09:19And here's some instructions what you need to do to get this for this to order to work.
09:26So, what we need to do is press Start.
09:31Okay.
09:32And then under, we're going to go ahead and go by User Interface.
09:41Under User Interface, we're going to go to Theme Configuration.
09:44Okay.
09:46Under Theme Configuration, we need to scroll down until you see Welcome Message.
09:51Okay.
09:52And we need to turn that off.
09:54Disable.
09:54This way, you won't be able to see all everything.
09:57There we go.
10:00Also, it's right now in some French.
10:02So, we're going to go ahead and change it to US.
10:06Okay.
10:11All right.
10:14Now, we got the Retrobat running Hyperbat for the theme.
10:22Now, we're going to go inside here.
10:25And you can see that the theme is already being installed to the game.
10:29The only thing we need to do is download the media.
10:32So, to do this, we have to do this.
10:34Okay.
10:34So, we're going to press Start.
10:37All right.
10:38I recommend doing this because this is the best way to do it.
10:41So, we're going to go to Scraper.
10:45Under Scraper, we're going to go to Options.
10:48Okay.
10:49Okay.
10:50Under Options, make sure you turn everything on set for the bezel.
10:55Do not use the bezel for this.
10:58Okay.
10:58There you go.
10:59I would not recommend you guys do this.
11:02Okay.
11:03It's going to ruin everything you're trying to accomplish.
11:06Okay.
11:07Under Account, you want to put on this fake username.
11:13Okay.
11:13We're going to type in capital A.
11:15And then R-C-A-D-E-9-5.
11:22And press Enter on your keyboard.
11:24Same thing.
11:25We're going to go ahead and go to Password.
11:27And enter that same thing, too.
11:32Okay.
11:32We're going to go to Account.
11:35Password.
11:38Arcade.
11:4195.
11:42Press Enter.
11:43And that's the password.
11:44Now, we're going to go back.
11:48And then we're going to go back again to Scrape.
11:50And then we're going to hit Scrape Now.
11:52This will scrape all the media for the game.
11:57There you go.
12:00All right.
12:03As you can see, you have all these little cool features.
12:08Okay.
12:08Now, here's another thing you guys need to understand.
12:11There is no medias right now that is running.
12:15Okay.
12:16So, to fix this, we're going to have to go ahead and press Start button.
12:20Okay.
12:21And we're going to go to Sounds.
12:23Under Sound, we're going to turn this on.
12:26Enable Sound.
12:27So, this way, you'll be able to hear the sound clicking of it.
12:31Okay.
12:32And then we're going to turn off the sound for the video.
12:35Because we want the music playing while the video is going.
12:39Okay.
12:44And there it is.
12:46There's the media right now.
12:47And you can see that the logo hasn't shown up.
12:49But that's okay.
12:50So, we're going to go ahead and press Start one more time.
12:52We're going to go to Game Settings.
12:54And then Update Game List.
12:56And say Yes.
12:58Now, you have the Crash Bandicoot in there with the logo.
13:03You see?
13:05Okay.
13:07Now, to go further.
13:09Okay.
13:12There are some things that shouldn't be in the list.
13:15Like, Port Games is pointless.
13:17And you notice they also got Retrobat in here.
13:20So, what we need to do is we need to press Start.
13:22We need to go to Game Collection.
13:24Under Game Collection.
13:26We need to go to Sort System.
13:28And we wanted to go by Hardware by Alphabetically Order.
13:34I didn't think this.
13:35I think that's what he said the last time on his guide.
13:39Okay.
13:40So, we're going to go ahead and click on that.
13:43There we go.
13:45So, now everything is all categorized.
13:49Like, do we want it?
13:50Okay.
13:51There's one thing.
13:52I want to get rid of the Port.
13:53And I want to get rid of the Retrobat.
13:56I don't want that there.
13:57So, we're going to press Start one more time.
13:59We're going to go to Game Collection.
14:01Under Game Collection.
14:02We're going to go to System Display.
14:05Under System Display, we're going to uncheck Port.
14:08And we're going to uncheck Retrobat.
14:13And we're done.
14:15There we go.
14:17Now, we have nothing but Arcade.
14:22All games.
14:23Arcade.
14:24Favorites.
14:25Light Guns.
14:25Last Played.
14:26Arcade.
14:27And PlayStation.
14:28And there you have it, folks.
14:30This is how you're supposed to do it.
14:32Now, there's one more thing we need to do before we end this.
14:36Okay?
14:36So, we're going to press Start one more time.
14:39Under, we're going to need to go where it says Updates and Downloads.
14:43On Updates and Downloads, you want to click on Bezel Project.
14:47Under Bezel Project, you want to go ahead and download the bezel.
14:53Okay?
14:55All right.
14:57While that is going through, there's one more thing we need to do.
15:00Okay?
15:01So, if you hold the A button on your controller, right?
15:06Hold down on it.
15:08You want to do this to make...
15:09I want to show you what I'm talking about.
15:11I want to show you a big difference.
15:13So, right now, this is what the game looks like right now when it's running on default.
15:18I want to show you.
15:21Because you want to get the best quality out of the game.
15:27And not many people knows about this.
15:29They always skip tutorials.
15:31And me, I don't like skipping anything.
15:33So, I'll give it a minute because it's kind of skipping the bio system.
15:40There it is.
15:42Now, you notice something about the game.
15:46See how it's all...
15:49We're going to fix all that.
15:55You notice how the house is all weird.
15:59You see the pixelation happening right now.
16:04You see how Crash Becker looks...
16:07You see how Crash Becker looks like right now.
16:10Like what is going on over here, right?
16:13So, when we start the game...
16:18You see how everything is all pixelated.
16:25I just want to show you what it looks like.
16:27Look how pixelated it looks.
16:28Look at the detail of Bandico.
16:31You barely can see his face.
16:33And...
16:34And you look at the detail of the boxes.
16:37How bad it is.
16:38Okay.
16:38Alright.
16:39So, we're going to go ahead and press Start and Select at the same time.
16:42And we're going to exit out the game.
16:44So, this is where the form begins.
16:46Okay.
16:47Alright.
16:47Because now that we finished updating the bezel.
16:50We're going to go ahead and update the system.
16:52By pressing Start.
16:53Go to Game List.
16:54Update the Game List.
16:54Okay.
16:56Okay.
16:56Now.
16:57In order to make your game look really decent and nice.
17:01Hold down the A button.
17:03Okay.
17:04Go to Advanced Game Setting.
17:07Under Emulator is right now on Auto.
17:09You want to change this into Libro's Swan Station.
17:16Okay.
17:17On the set...
17:18Shader set.
17:19You want to make sure it's on Curve.
17:22Okay.
17:24Under Internal Resolution.
17:27Make sure it's on 1080p.
17:30Okay.
17:31Game Aztic Ratio.
17:33Make sure it's at 4.3.
17:35Okay.
17:36Now.
17:37This is the fun part.
17:39Okay.
17:39Now we're going to go to Visuals Rendering.
17:42Okay.
17:43Under Visuals Rendering.
17:44We want to turn on Video Filter on Auto.
17:49Remember.
17:50You don't touch that one.
17:51You touch Smooth Game.
17:53Binary Filtering.
17:54Turn that on.
17:56Okay.
17:58Under what says Perspective Correction.
18:01You need to turn that on.
18:03Okay.
18:05Alright.
18:07Now if I remember right.
18:09There was another one that we need to put in.
18:12It's right here somewhere.
18:14No.
18:14That's not it.
18:15No.
18:16That's not it either.
18:17There it is.
18:17Under Texture Filter.
18:19Make sure that it's on...
18:23No Edge Bleeding.
18:24Right there.
18:25Binary with no Edge Bleeding.
18:27You turn that on.
18:29Okay.
18:30Once you're done.
18:31We're going to go back.
18:34Go back.
18:35And then we're going to press Start to play the game.
18:37And you're going to see a huge difference.
18:44Remember we went ahead and added the bezels.
18:46Now we got a bezel to make it look really nice and cool.
18:50Okay.
18:52Remember how the intro started?
18:55You see a big difference.
19:00Look at that.
19:02See how clean the texture is now?
19:14Look at the house.
19:16Look at the logo and everything.
19:21You can actually see the texture looking really nice and clean.
19:29There you go.
19:30You can see how Bandicoot looks really nice and clean.
19:34It's now over pixelated.
19:36It's pixelated.
19:48There you go.
19:50Look.
19:51You can actually see the detail of Bandicoot.
19:53And you can actually see the great detail of the box itself.
20:02Now keep in mind this only works on 3D games.
20:05Don't do this if you play 2D games on the PlayStation.
20:11Okay.
20:20There you go.
20:22Look how smooth it looks.
20:23Like you're actually playing HD.
20:30Okay.
20:48What have I got?
20:51What have I got?
21:09There you go.
21:12Well, as you can see, it is running really good on a high quality.
21:18Okay.
21:20Okay.
21:37Look at that.
21:38Look at the beautiful details of the plants and the face and everything.
21:42Look at that.
21:45Look at that.
21:48Alright.
21:49So, now you know how to make your best games, putting the best themes and also add game themes
21:59for Retrobat or Hyperbat made by no other than Bob.
22:04This is Old Gamer saying, God bless, and take it easy, you guys.
