🛠️ Guide: Sunshine on Batocera with GPU Passthrough with external ssd (Proxmox)

🎮 In this video, I’ll show you how to set up Sunshine game streaming inside Batocera running on Proxmox via external ssd . ( Moonlight Failed to pair for some reason unknown and worked after a few tries) :)

IMPORTANT for RTX 3060 users, read message at the bottom.
Prerequisite
GPU pass-trough configured on Proxmox.

This setup avoids the .img headaches setup and goes straight to the good stuff — fully working inside Proxmox.

You can create a virtual drive and attach it to the Batocera VM afterwards. Once booted into Batocera (from an external USB for example, just use the Install to another drive option. I personally keep the external for mobility 😎

It contains the key configs and tips from our debugging journey — trust me, it’ll save you a headache or two!

For my 1050 setup, ROM bar enabled works fine, but for 3060, you might want to tweak that.

Good luck and game on! 🎮✨
