10 RetroPie Setup Tips and Tutorial for the Raspberry Pi 4

[@CharmPeddler]

I don't understand how I've watched dozens of videos from the top KZbinrs that talk about RetroPie and this is the first video that I've heard anything about a web interface. Great share! Thank you very much!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Most welcome, happy you found something interesting here!

[@TheViewer01]

The main things that I’m learning right now: Messing with resetting the game controls to default and then setting my own controls up, setting video screen to full screen without bezels, adding new roms and removing roms. I’m mostly removing games that suck, games that don’t work correctly and games that are in another language other than English. I’m also going to work on adding multiple gamepads for multiplayer games. I eventually want to add light guns that actually work too. I’m also looking into changing the music to a arcade ambient sound. So much to learn, configure and update. :)

[@revengestory]

How do you set the controls up? The Dreamcast and psp games don’t work because none of the buttons seem to function as start, can you share some tips?

[@oliverfernandez7497]

Very useful and consolidated video. Thanks! This saved me hours of scouring the web for these tips

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Very welcome, my goal with this video was to save you time and demonstrate the tips so you can see what they do. If you prefer them written down, you can also find the same details on my website : wagnerstechtalk.com/retropietips

Just a heads up. I did an update on raspberry pi and it took about three hours to complete. For a while the screen was not changing but it was indeed updating. Just let it run it’s course until it’s done.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

If you update from source instead of binary, yes it will take a long time. It has to download/recompile everything. Updating from binary will go much faster.

[@martinaurik2189]

Very Nice,I’m surprised with all those tips (got in to Raspberry pi 4 Recently)Learning how everything works with my arcade set up.

Thanks for the tips. Instead of installing putty you can also install ubuntu or any other windows subsystem for linux to get a much better shell option for connection per ssh to an other system.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Most welcome, thank you for watching and your comments regarding Ubuntu as well Felix!

[@felixf4613]

@@WagnersTechTalk I meant you can install a linux-bash in Microsoft Windows by using WSL with e.g. ubuntu. Because its much easier to use then putty. :-)

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I knew what you meant :) I've used WSL under Windows but PuTTY was a bit easier/faster to setup. I installed WSL about 2-3 years ago and wound up having issues and had to re-image my drive shortly after. I'm sure it's likely improved quite a bit since, but for quick access to SSH to the Pi 4 PuTTY worked well in my experience.

Very interesting! Is there a pinball plugin for RetroPie? I've got most of the classics loaded into an old Pi3B+.

Liked and Subscribed! I would like to see a video of which emulators work the best for different systems. I downloaded RetroPie on PC that is running Linux Mint and it took me a while to figure out where to go to download different emulators for the PS and which one worked the best. I had choppy sound with the one that was installed with the RetroPie install. When I downloaded the other for PS it is working without choppy sound. It would be good to see videos about performance tips for RetroPie, different systems and their emulators, and how to improve playability.

Amazing guides and tips! Thank you so much. Quick question: I read that RP4s at max can only utilize 32GB SD cards but I see you have used a 128 gig card. Am I missing something or is what I read about the 32 gig max inaccurate?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you so much Brandon, much appreciated! 32GB is not the max, that is inaccurate for the Pi 4. In this video, I was using a 128GB up until the point where I demonstrate how to backup/restore your image to a larger capacity. At that point, I used a 512GB microSD card. The official documentation doesn't really specify an upper-limit other than stating "Only the Raspberry Pi 3A+, 3B+ and Compute Module 3+ can boot from an SD card larger than 256 GB." (See here: www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/sd-cards.md ). I don't think the documentation has been updated for the Pi4, however. Hope this helps!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Are you using a pre-made image or did you install RetroPie yourself? The only time I've experienced lag was either with a premade image or the TV/Monitor was not set in "Game Mode".

[@RIZZYFLOURS]

@@WagnersTechTalk it's pre-made. I purchased it for about 200 bucks. I've never set my TV to game mode and I use the hdmi cables that were included with my purchase. So maybe I will try what you've suggested. Playing snes is a struggle some of the games will not respond to me pressing buttons is weird.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Keep in mind if you install a fresh copy of RetroPie, make sure it's on a NEW microSD card and NOT the one you bought for $200. Otherwise, you'll wind up erasing the one you have along with all games, etc.

Isn't there a way I can reset my settings in RetroArch for the Sega Saturn back to default? I just dont want to mess up any of my other console settings in the process.

When you use ssh to get games to console over wifi, do you always have to be on wifi to play games? Because I want to travel with a raspberry pi 4 and play my favorites with friends

[@WagnersTechTalk]

You will typically copy your games using this method: wagnerstechtalk.com/rpi4gaming/#Installing_ROMs (see video above that section for a complete end-to-end setup). That is, you won't use ssh to copy files but rather drag and drop them into the share folder. However, once you do that you won't need WiFi once the games are on the Pi. So you can certainly take the Pi 4 wherever you want and won't need WiFi unless you need to copy more games, download themes, etc. Hope this helps!

Dear Wagner, I have a question about how to operate retropie with a zero delay encoder for the controls. I have built multiple Arcdae cabinets and I am now running into a problem that I have not encountered before. The moment I run retropie for the first time I can configure the controls. This is all going well. Then I choose "configure input" in the menu to configure the 2nd controller. So far everything is going well. Now comes the problem. The moment I restart retropie the controls of 1 of the 2 players are completely mixed up. How is this possible. I've built systems before and haven't experienced this problem before. Vlak6

[@WagnersTechTalk]

That's a strange issue indeed, one I've not encountered. Are you using a pre-built image? I would start with a fresh copy of RetroPie and setup the controllers there. It could be if it is a pre-built image there is some file corruption going on which is causing RetroPie not to save your controller configuration. If none of this helps, I'd recommend posting your question here: www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie . Perhaps someone else has run into the same issue and could provide first-hand advice. Hope this helps!

Do you know why my favorites folder isnt saving when i do a clean reboot?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Only thing I can think of is you're possibly using a no-name microSD and it's about dead. Just a hunch.

@@WagnersTechTalk its brand new sd card lol what I had to do was scrape it, check favorites, save it, then restart my system. favorites are saving now in case someone else has this issue.

I don't have this main menu on mine. The guy who sold it to me said this is rasp pi4. Could you help? My menu doesn't say main menu either it just says configure and underneath I see emulators displays controls scraper etc but mot UI settings or anything like that. If you could help I would much appreciate it. Thank you! :)

I'm not sure, doesn't sound like RetroPie, Batocera or Recalbox.

[@michaeladams9807]

I don't have a computer just the Raspberry Pi. Will I still be able to download Retro Pie onto my Raspberry Pi just using the Raspberry Pi? Or do I have to find a computer?

My joystickS setup configuration doesn't save.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

That's odd, are you using a pre-made image or one you setup from scratch? Sounds like a corrupt microSD might be the reason.

[@adamtrogdon959]

I just started this arcade1up mame. I just figured out how to properly wire it. So I guess I havent quite figured how to properly do it.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I asked that because most of the time I've personally had issues is when I have tried a premade image. Not sure why, but I tend to create my own images these days as I've had issues such as: slow frame rates, controller response times, etc. I've not had the exact issue you mention, but similar with premade images.

thought it would be in a different vide, and where else would the comments be other than below, also there is no need to specify down below as well.... It's more redundant than painting ten layers on a car, at all times of the day.
