They keep updated pre-made images for the Raspberry Piīut it’s also possible to install RetroPie on other operating systems (over Raspbian or in Ubuntu/Debian systems) Today the RetroPie project has a dedicated website available here They created a GPIO adapter to plug joystick and button on the Raspberry Pi RetroPie today They wanted to add the ability to transform the Raspberry Pi into an arcade box The hardware part was also an important work

Some might require a keyboard to use the emulator properly. Many won’t use Start and Select to quit the emulator, and each emulator will work differently. I mention this, as anything that doesn’t start with ‘lr-‘ may work differently than you were expecting. You can recognise these emulators as they start with the prefix ‘lr-‘. For example, pressing Start and Select together will quit the emulator. These have all been designed to work with Retroarch’s system and as such have a shared control system. Most of the emulators installed on the basic version of RetroPie are “Retroarch” emulators. You can choose which emulator you use when you load the game by pressing a button on your joypad after you have selected the game (you should see a brief note on screen advising you on this) Some of the additional emulators are alternate emulators for systems, so you could have several different SNES emulators depending on which works best for each game. Remember that the games won’t appear until you have restarted EmulationStation or rebooted the system. When you add an emulator, it will add a new folder in your roms volume, so you can then add your games. Hit Back and you can either add more packages, or keep pressing back and you can exit back to the main RetroPie system.
