If you already have a Retropie running you can copy across ROMs (and any progress) using rsync. There are folders for each system that can be emulated, e.g.
#Mac emulator retopie install#
Install packages like this from Retropie setup in the Retropie menu, Manage Packages.
#Mac emulator retopie password#
Also, for security, change the default password from “raspberry” to something unique.Īt this point you can customise the Retropie.Do this in raspi-config, select hostname and enter the new name following the instructions. It’s a good idea to change the hostname (especially if you have other retropies on your home network).First, set your Wi-Fi country (it will guide you to launch Raspiconfig), select Localisation Options, change Wi-Fi Country to UK (or wherever you are). Select Retropie from carousel, select Wi-Fi.

Configure the keyboard for basic control of Emulation Station (follow instructions).Retropie will start up, the file system will expand and then Emulation Station will run.Put the card into the Pi zero W that is attached to monitor and keyboard and power it up.Use Balena Etcher (or similar) to write the img.gz to the microSD card.

Download the Retropie image for Pi 0/1.I ordered my stuff from the Pi Hut.įor setting up, it is easiest if you have a monitor, keyboard, and power supply. You will need: a GPi case, Raspberry Pi zero W (I did not use a heat sink), and microSD card.
