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 softwares: the SD Card Formatter, and the balenaEtcher. Now it's time to install the RetroPie on 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 systems 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 on 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 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 the financial conditions to buy a new video game for me. The image below shows the components and some specifications of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. With this little computer, you can do a lot of things: robots, home automation, learning to program, and even video game consoles. So basically, a Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit-card-sized computer. Have you ever wanted to do your own video game console? A console that is cheap, small, powerful, and even fits perfectly in your pocket? So in this project, I will show you guys how to make a game console using a Raspberry Pi.
