What’s Inside the Build?

The Batocera v40 Light Gun Build features over 530 games, spanning Windows, Flash, TeknoParrot, and more. This 270GB (zipped) build is a powerhouse for light gun enthusiasts. Whether you’re using a portable device like a  Steam Deck or a full-sized  arcade cabinet, this build has you covered. For optimal performance, we recommend a 512GB micro SD card for portable setups or a similarly sized SSD/HDD for cabinet builds.

Key Updates in v40

• Flash and Windows Sections: Major tweaks have expanded compatibility for games like Aliens and Terminator (via TeknoParrot), running smoothly on Batocera.
• Windows Game Integration: Painstaking efforts have been made to convert TeknoParrot games to run on Batocera. While still in the experimental phase, this marks a groundbreaking move for the community, with single-player functionality currently supported.
• Future Compatibility: While Blamcon and RetroShooter Reapers light guns aren’t fully supported yet, a temporary patch is available for Reapers. Batocera’s upcoming updates are expected to bring full support soon.
