[@mindlesscargo]

Dude you literally make the best tutorials ever. Clearly spoken, no music, fast. Good work

[@pkimrey]

when the nes mini classic was sold out my brother showed me the the power of the retro pi at his place, i wanted to set up my own at my house so i order the canokit and followed this video step by step and everything went smooth i dont have good computer smarts and your video made it easy for me to understand. thankyou so much now instead of just 30 games on the classic i have all my favorite games for nes,snes ect..

[@leiwulong_og]

Probably one of the most clearest tutorial vids I have ever seen on youtube. Instant sub.

Also bonus points for showing Tekken 3!

[@Wiradjuri217]

Dude, you have no idea how many hours I've spent and websites and forums I've gone through to get mine working. This video helped so much and so quickly. Liked and subscribed!

I’m using a raspberry pi to create an arcade machine for my school. Helpful tutorials as always!

[@ZsStudio]

Just ordered my Raspberry ^^ cant wait to follow your video! :D

[@ETAPRIME]

+Said Chaou awesome glad you have one on the way!

[@ZsStudio]

ETA PRIME Thanks! Before i go further in the installation, i have a 64GB Sd card, its not going to work right?

[@OopsieGoopsie]

it should work!! i have a 32 gig one

[@101percentdope]

wait what? could you reavaluate on that?

[@bryankennedy843]

ETA Prime this is the best tutorial on how to do this that I have watched. You explain with elaborate description of what to do. Nice Job! and Thank You!

[@dglesterhardunkichud4017]

can you flash the Noobs installer as well as the Retropie installer to the same card as if to install Kodi and Retro Pie?

[@DrewStone83]

Thanks for this video. It took me many hours trying to get retropie to work. I was missing the step where you write the retropie file onto the SD card. You've got a new subscriber!

[@Wise-Tech33]

Got everything loaded and seems to be good but when I click on the rom to play it starts to play then flickers back to the rom selection. Any ideas? Could you share your roms with me? :)

[@Mr.M1STER]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I just received my Raspberry pie today and it is up and running already. This tutorial is clear and concise. The links in the description to the sd card formatter and sd card imager work really well.

[@jds8205]

How did your ROMs get on your computer?

[@chaserpg1238]

JD S there are websites you download Roms from

[@michaellara5191]

ChaseRPG123 what web sites

[@chaserpg1238]

Michael Lara be very careful where you download roms from as some may contain viruses. These are 100% safe sources

[@nadiaafzal9606]

its people like you that make the world a better place well to play retro games on a raspberry pi that is

[@DesertRoadsEntertainment]

Mine shows the black screen with the white band(and the retropie logo) but under the band it says "configuration" when yours says 13 games available???? Any ideas???

[@pissedoffpapa2841]

Like he said, after the transfer is complete you must RESTART IT. 12:55

[@mastersummersjr]

Excellent tutorial. Clearly articulated; easy for newbies; not too long winded for those with experience. Liked and subscribed.

[@causerDAguv]

it wont create a rom folder. And for some reason when I format the usb drive, stick it in the Pi and wait 10 mins then put it back into my PC, it always says I need to repair it? but my mac seems to work?

[@BaronOfHell666]

Great video. Very clear. I have been watching different videos on different things for raspberry pi. Your video is by far the best of them. I look forward to watching the others.

[@RadioFlyer05]

I did every thing in the guide but when I put the sd card in the raspberry pi my tv said no signal I know it aint the tv and I am using a 16 gb sd card is that why it is not working?

[@_augustux_]

same here

[@RadioFlyer05]

Augusto Rebella I was able to fix it try using a different sd card.

[@_augustux_]

@radioFlyer05 does it partition the SD card in 2?

[@RadioFlyer05]

Augusto Rebella no

[@_augustux_]

So Im doing something wrong. Thanks!!

[@aaronsworld02]

Etcher is probably a better alternative to the disk imager used in the video. It's a lot more intuitive, it's open source, and tbh i just like the style. :)

[@snailsth102]

At what point do we reformat the SD card, you mention reformatting the SD Card, but you never actually reformatted it.

[@101percentdope]

You just open SDformatter, then make sure you are formatting the correct SDcard, name it, then click format. It'll warn you click okay twice and then you can move on to the Win32 part!

[@brian3243]

snailsth102 gffyyui

[@DJDannyUhOh]

You only reformat if you want to use that SD card in another device after using it with the pi.

[@solorgod]

Easily the best video online to install and setup roms!. Job well done.

Where is the best place to get rom collections from? A lot of the sites are full of virus's and malware

[@razawaari327]

Can you please tell me where we can download ROMS ?

[@nolan4770]

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND

[@amen_ra6926]

The tutorial is pretty detailed but yeah it would have been nice to know ahead of time this was a requirement. LifeHacker puts adding ROMS as (optional) giving the impression that you can play some games out of the gate. But that doesn't seem to be the case unless I'm overlooking something. ROMs should be part of the checklist of things needed. I mean it's a bit pointless going through the whole setup exercise without them.

[@PeaNutter505]

Razawa Ari just put your comment in Google haha.

[@Blu-ray]

Emuparidise Coolroms

[@jasonvolkman265]

An emulator is basically a digital console. You're literally emulating the hardware. Saying they should tell you that downloading roms is necessary is like saying Microsoft should have to tell you buying games is necessary to play stuff on an Xbox.

[@JulienNeel]

Great video, thank you!

[@joe96787]

yeah it's Never that EASY

[@joe96787]

I plugged a 64 flash drive into the Pi for an hour and all it added was bios,roms and one other file BUT nothing in the files so I can't add any thing to it

Worked well for me

only thing i see wrong withthis video is that you actually paid for NO MANS LIE :/

[@GuruIV]

HAHA Great Tutorial though!

[@GuruIV]

waited a few weeks after launch saw that the game was not what they promised! So no I didn't pay for it. Never even played it I'd never support a dev that lies like he did

I got my copy of Win32 Disk Imager off of sourceforge and it worked just fine, norton didn't say it was bad, so newer versions of norton are fine for this.

[@rikardo1981]

thanks for shearing, just one question, are the rooms in the USB drive copied in the micro SD of the RaspB? or the rooms run directly form the USD drive?

[@rayp6410]

thank you very much ETA PRIME have watched a few of your vids and they are so helpful for some that are not that tech savy

[@NSXTypeRGTRLM]

Any thoughts on doing an updated video on RetroPie?

[@zhenwang3975]

Thank you for your clear tutorial. Appreciate it.

[@VictorBurgosGames]

So crazy question. When I formatted my micro sc card to install in the Pi, it of course only had the "boot" available, along with its size, which was like a gig or whatever. Does retropie automatically use the unused partition for the ROMs? I am wondering if there's step missing, before installing my ROMs, I don't want it to just "fill" up on the boot partition. I obviously want it on the partition that was not used for the boot.

[@jimmyninja15]

ETA prime, nice work on the video. Thank you for your help. Hopefully you can answer a question for me… I can't get Tron to work no matter what I try. Downloaded multiple different roms but can't get any to start. I am using A raspberry pie, running retro pie on a control console I built. Has spinner and flight stick as well as two player set ups. Any input from you would be greatly appreciated!

[@fredyloco22]

Great video ,, please tell me how to transfer roms over network without the usb stick, is there a tutorial video of how to transfer over network? thanks for your help

Hi ETA PRIME, is there a way to start a nes game straight from boot? I intend to make a dedicated gaming machine for my dad. But it seems my google-fu is not that good. I can't seem to find what i want. I have a fresh copy of 4.3. Please do a step by step. Thank you very much!!

[@robertpapineau6656]

Hi there I just bought a raspberry pi 3b and saw your video do I half to install a os first or could I just install the retropie 4.0-4.1 I just want to use it for retro gaming

[@SrFairladyZ]

Hey, your channel is great and helped me make my first retropie project, thanks! I need to make a couple more. I still have my USB stick fully loaded with roms from my first pi project. Can I just plug that into a brand new pi and load it up on first boot or will the pi wipe the USB stick with blank roms, config, bios folders?

[@flyingfish8239]

Is there a special website where we can find both the ROMS and the BIOS for RetroPie?? And how can we know if we need a BIOS or not? Is there a list to know it?? I'm thinking of doing the same thing than you, but I need answers!!

omg thank u so much! im about to build a retro arcade controller with my pi and this will help alot! thanks man!

[@SupaDr00g]

Thanks for the video seems incredibly easy to follow and set up even for a dunderhead like myself. I have a question though. After you've done the initial setup and transferred some roms how do you go about adding more roms later? Lets say i format my USB stick, create a folder called retropie and plug it into the retropie box will it write the folders and all the roms that currently exist on the SD to the USB stick? Then i plug the USB stick into my computer add the new roms to the appropriate folders plug it back into the retropie box and it will it then just update the roms from the USB stick to the SD card? Is that right?

[@reopagan4762]

[@muscletribeofexcellence2133]

ETA Prime, I want to do the build for the arcade1up and was wondering if you could tell me how to make mine look like yours. As far as the arcade setup or frontend you have. Thanks.

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Hello i have a question is it possible to make the main menu hidden or get rid of it and just go to the games only? Example If i hit enter button in the retropie i get that submenu to do different things. To hide it or to get rid of it. Sometimes i hit enter by mistake and it is annoying. Can you please help me out?

[@johnchristina6319]

When I right click on retropie I don't see anything that says extract to retropie 4.0 also my icon looks different than yours. Also I'm using retropie 4.1. What am I doing wrong? Your video looks easy to follow if I have everything where you say but I don't so please help.

[@maltonfil]

Do u need a bios for every system? Great video. But none of my Roms work for any system. I'm not sure if u have a vid for retropie attract mod. I really like that front end look

[@CookieGTAS]

Followed this video and one of your other videos and no matter what I try the ROMs just don't appear on the Pi. I'm running the new RetroPi 4.6 that only came out a few days ago for the Raspberry Pi 4. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the process is different on the newer Pi 4/RetroPi 4.6

Thanks for the this tutorial... PSX games, how do you know which are BIOS files? I DL some games and extracted them, but don't see it... Also, TIP : you must use lowercase for the folder "retropie" name... I just spent 3 frustrating hours trying to figure out why I wasn't getting all the folders, you can NOT use capital letters.

Hi there, Just watched your post and it’s great. Got a question for you went though all the steps, When a select a game it loads up but I can’t play the game. Ie when I press the start button it doesn’t play tried remapping the game pad, any ideas? Thank Ross

[@andresroc1567]

Hello @ETA PRIME, thank you for this video, it is very useful. useful I'm wondering if you can share me a webpage where can I download all the BIOS needed? If I want to upload new ROMs to the rasp, should I repeat a procedure or I can upload as many as I want and the raspberry will overwrite without deleting the old roms?
