This instruction has been tested with Batoceria 5.25 (batocera-5.25-rpi3-20200309.img.gz) If WIFI has not yet been set up for your Batoceria, connect it to a LAN cable first instead of using WIFI.
Waveshare game hat currently only works with Raspberry Pi3B/B+. Unless you connect a convertor cable, the HDMU port on the game hat cannot fit with the micro HDMI port on the Pi 4. Waveshare mentioned that they are considering an adaptor to bridge the gap, but not available yet at this point in time.
Step 1:
Get all the parts
Most of them available on amazon or aliexpress or from China and Hong Kong Taobao.

Step 3: Set Up the Software

Power up the Raspberry Pi
From your computer start a terminal (Mac) or putty (windows)
ssh root@batocera.local (password for the first time login is linux)
(Note: If there is no response, you may want to first 'ping batocera.local' to see if there is any response. Otherwise, try to check your router to find out the ip address. (e.g. 192.168.1.32). Then type 'ssh roo@192.168.1.32' )
Type 'nano batocera.conf' to edit the configuration
Use Control+W Key command to search for 'gpio' Once found, remove the # and change the following lines
controllers.gpio.enabled=1
controllers.gpio.args='map=4 gpio=5,6,13,19,21,4,26,12,23,20,16,18,4'
