Since the above video the build has been modified (and you can download here, below) and there is also an add-on pack to download for it too with even more Games, now its worth noting these are NOT the actual arcade dumps that run on TeknoParrot, on first investigation it looks like they are just PC Ports converted to run under WINE (linux) , but the thought process was definitely there ! This is confirmed by the authors comment on YouTube:-

So do not think you can go out and copy over your latest arcade dump and it be fully playable!

This isn’t just TEKNOPARROT STYLE GAMES – This is a fully loaded Batocera Build based on “RGS” Image so includes load of other retro systems and retro games, fully loaded 1tb build!

NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR

 I made small error and forgot to enable the autoresize function on the base image, so when you flash the image to your hard drive, it will only show as 894GB. But don’t worry, its a super easy fix. Just plug your drive up to a Windows PC, and go to the Batocera partition, and go to batocera-boot.config file and change the comment autoresize=false to true. Then reboot and it should then successfully resize the drive and give you the full drive space.

You can also do it over SSH into batocera and go to the batocera boot partition and find the same file (batocera-boot.config) and change the comment from false to true.
