RetroPie comes with more than 50 system pre-installed by default, but there are much more emulators that you can install and isn't installed by default. Installing others emulators (need an internet connection) So go to the configuration menu, select Wi-Fi, select Connect to WiFi network, then choose your Wi-Fi network and put your password.Ĥ. Now in this step, we'll need a USB keyboard to configure the Wi-Fi.

Once configured, your Bluetooth controller will be working. Follow the images below.Īfter that, go to the main screen in RetroPie, press the start button to open the main menu and select Configure Input, then hold any button on your Bluetooth controller to be detected and configure it. Then select your controller and select the NoInputNoOutput option in the next screen.

Now select Register and Connect to Bluetooth Device, it'll search for your Bluetooth controller, at this moment you have to press the Sync button to synchronize your controller with the Raspberry Pi, (this button in the Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller is the red button located on the back). To configure a Bluetooth controller go to the configuration menu with the keyboard and select Bluetooth. If you're using a USB controller, hold any button and start to configure it. If you're using a Bluetooth controller (for example the Nintendo Wii U Pro controller), you'll have first to configure a USB keyboard and later configure the controller. It will ask you to hold a button on your device to configure it. That is the first image that you'll see in the first boot. So first, insert the microSD card in your Raspberry Pi connect the HDMI cable, one side in the Raspberry Pi and the other side in a TV or monitor connect the power supply in the micro USB connection and then boot the Raspberry Pi. In this step, we'll be doing some configurations in RetroPie. Wait until the process finishes and RetroPie will be installed in your microSD card. In this program select the RetroPie image in your computer, select the microSD card and flash it. Once you've done that, unzip the RetroPie file that you downloaded and open balenaEtcher. So insert it in your computer (you can use an adapter), open the SD Card Formatter, select the microSD card that will be used for RetroPie and format it. The first step to install RetroPie is formatting your microSD card. First of all, you'll have to download two software: the SD Card Formatter, and the balenaEtcher. Now it's time to install the RetroPie in your microSD card. Note: Click on the Raspberry Pi 2/3 option in the Download section to download the RetroPie to any model of the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3. So go to the RetroPie site and download it. Now that you know a little bit about RetroPie let's download the software. Any Raspberry Pi model can run RetroPie, but I recommend using the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ since its more powerful GPU, CPU, and Ram capabilities will maximize the range of games that you can play. It consists of the EmulationStation's interface with themes for emulators, Kodi media-player, Retroarch, and more than 50 system pre-installed by default.
The main feature of RetroPie is that it includes almost all the previous experience of console gaming emulation on Raspberry Pi. It's also one of the most popular emulation systems for the Raspberry Pi featuring a user-friendly interface and can run both on top of an existing operating system (for example Raspbian) and boot as an operating system from a pre-made SD card image.

RetroPie is a software library used to emulate retro video games on the Raspberry Pi. In this project, we'll be using the RetroPie as the emulation system. Once you have assembled the Raspberry Pi into the case, you'll have to install an emulation system to play games in the Raspberry Pi. Video games are cool but doing your own game console is even cooler because you learn how it works and you can customize it your way. So now at my 17 years old, I decided to do my own video game console using a Raspberry Pi, I was surprised how such a small board can be so powerful to be able to run games.
The first and only game console that I had in my childhood was a Mega Drive 3 from Tectoy, I had a lot of fun with it, but one day it fell down and stopped working, my parents didn't have financial conditions to buy a new video game for me. The image below shows the components and some specifications about the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. With this little computer, you can do a lot of things: robots, home automation, learn to program and even video game consoles. So basically, a Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer.
