Active Microsoft Windows families include Windows NT and Windows IoT; these may encompass subfamilies, e.g. Windows Server or Windows Embedded Compact (Windows CE). Defunct Microsoft Windows families include Windows 9x, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone.

NOTE:
This pack is handcrafted by Ransom & Kazai – with mad respect to “The Legendary Amok.”

After the work of Ransom and his brother Kazai, the Windows games have been converted to .wsquashfs format by our very own SPiRiT! Awesome job on making this pack available for Batocera. SPiRiT also tested all the games on our RGS Batocera build.

.wsquashfs is fully supported on both Batocera and RetroBat. However, there is one thing you need to know: on RetroBat, a .wsquashfs file will be decompressed when first started. You’ll see a nice progress bar — so far, so good. In EmulationStation (the RetroBat menu), you can choose an option to KEEP the decompressed file so that when you start it a second time, the game will instantly boot up.

Keep in mind that for larger games, the decompression process on RetroBat can take up to 30 minutes! On Batocera, this is not an issue because .wsquashfs is natively supported.

On RetroBat, for larger games, it may seem like RetroBat has frozen… but just wait — it will eventually decompress and boot your game.

How to install:
Drag and drop "windows" folder to your Batocera \share\roms or R:\Retrobat\roms folder.
