Hey all,

I am an educator that has been trying to get an arcade cabinet up and running, for my CS students. I got a Raspberry Pi 5 and am trying to get Batocera to let me use the McAirpos thing and I just can’t get them to execute in the interface. They just kick me out. I am kind of at my wit’s end and would love any help that anyone can offer.

you can use the makecode arcade kiosk instead! it has a much nicer menu and its easier to add games, plus it runs right in your browser so you can just make raspberry pi os directly boot into the webpage!
