Raspberry Pi 4 Retro Gaming: Step-by-step with my first Pi Project

[@carlstanford7607]

You can download pre-made images that are pretty slick and boot straight into retro pie with 1000s of games all set up. Nice to see it from scratch though

[@jed2055]

I haven't seen after about 12 minutes . . . yet but at approximately 11.58 you entered: __patform=rpi3 instead of __platform=rpi3 Did it end up working for you? I'll find out if that line was worth putting in.

Commander Keen, was free to play back in the day..

Best to Get a Starter Kit it comes with everything ie Power mouse keybord 16 or 32gb sd card with noobs or rasbian on it all thats needed is a Moniter that has a Hdmi slots And yes Tv can be Used Provided thay have Hdmi

[@aandyyyyy1]

when you restart the rassbery pi you can boot choice resabian and retropi

[@charliemaybe]

For a case I recommend a case with basic active cooling. A small fan and heat sink. You don’t need an ice tower cooler. A nice case with active cooling should cost you no more than 20 bucks 10-50 if you know what to look for. I got a mouse and keyboard for free. Just go online and buy a wireless usb mouse( they come from about 7 bucks for one) and a keyboard you could get one for really cheap as well.

[@Recurver527]

to anyone following his instructions after my comment here, ignore the step where you edit retropie with the sudo nano command to make it a raspberry pi 3, the retropie 4.6 and beyond already support raspberry pi 4. everything else is dead on accurate. Thank you good sir for your walk through.

Just create a script by creating a text file in the Home folder to later name like InstallRetropie.sh and copy and paste the following... -------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # Raspbian_Desktop.iso sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade -yy sudo apt install ufw p7zip* unzip* unrar* ffmpeg* scanmem gameconqueror xscreensaver git dialog xmlstarlet lsb-release libdvd-pkg -yy sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg sudo ufw enable git clone github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.sh -------------------------------------------------- Step 1 = Create a text file Step 2 = Copy and paste the text between the line's Step 3 = Save file as InstallRetropie.sh in the Home folder Step 4 = Open a Terminal ( CTRL+ALT+T ) Step 5 = Type the following... bash InstallRetropie.sh Step 6 = follow allong when prompted Step 7 = Start ---> Preferences ---> Screensaver ( no more blackouts during gameplay ) Change from... [ MODE: Random Screen Saver ] Change to... [ MODE: Disable Screen Saver ] Step 8 = Start ---> Games ---> rpie -=- "Not using the Desktop" RetroPie Configuration ---> Retropie-Setup ---> Configuration / Tools ---> autostart ---> Auto-start Emulation Station / Kodi on boot Change from... Autostart Emulation Station after login ( Disabled ) Change to... Autostart Emulation Station after login ( Enabled ) Now Retropie wil auto-boot instead of Raspbian Desktop

[@rage3236]

when i type elulationstation i says renderer failed to initialize

[@ahmedmoustafa6829]

Did you try to use joystick?? Would they work?

[@CodesExplorer-hb1wr]

you said it would take 15 minutes to download, but it's been downloading for me for an hour and a half 😭

[@charliemaybe]

i made a google doc that has all of the instructions and links for setup for raspbian, install on commander pi (for overclocking), 1.15.2 java Minecraft, and retropie (with autostart). Like if you want a link for the doc make public

[@JoeJoe-ny1yg]

Just wanna say thanks so much for doing that u don’t have to make instructions let alone given to others but u did anyway rlly appreciate it!

where and, how i get or find games

[@rayza3054]

Can you play Google Stadia on it?

[@HardestManInTarot]

Pretty good question actually. I’m not sure, but don’t see why you couldn’t

[@henriquecustodio8241]

Yes I think

Nice change from the usual twentysomething with blue hair and enough RGB to burn out your eyeballs.

[@DanielPerez-hy6qi]

great tutorial..

[@lizivx]

Good day, your video is very well explained, I hope you can help me, today I will try to install retropie on my Raspberry Pi4 but it marks errors, it takes me to the end and when I write "emulationstation" it says "command not found"

[@bbbb8637]

After installing ( configuring ) RetroPie, go to Start ---> Games ---> rpie and you are good to go

[@scryptio]

You just got a new subscriber. :)

[@MarceloPimenta33]

Hello! Please, can you inform which microphone you used to record this video? Thank you!

[@MrDjindian]

I'm confused... Why did you tell it you're using a Rasberry Pi3 if you're using a 4 in the package?

[@MrDjindian]

Do I skip that step if I'm using a 4?

[@9to5toys]

From my understanding, Retropie doesn't support a Pi4 yet, so you need to make it think that you are using a Pi3. After making that change I was successfully able to run it just fine on my Pi4. Hope that helps!

[@vaaya2068]

@@9to5toys In all technicalities you wrote "__patform=rpi3" not "__platform=rpi3" so it didn't take effect kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJXUh5V8r8qerdE so it looks like it works without that. Secondly, if you mention rpi3 it will ask you to disable experimental GPU features.

[@cosmosnake]

Any idea why my Rpi won't detect either of my Xbox remotes? Thanks for the step by step, really helped with my project!

[@jannisn454]

Probably the driver isn't installed. Here are some things to do: Plug the controller into another device to see if it is functional Search and download drivers for Xbox Controllers on the Pi 4

[@carlstanford7607]

Xbox controller is a pain to set up as wireless but works wired. A Bluetooth controller with a usb dongle is also an easy solution

[@rohitpatil3014]

Power A xbox controller is compatible for raspberry pi? Plz answer any one if possible

[@bbbb8637]

If not mistaken the answer is yes, it might work out of the box or some tweaks are required, ( do not have xbox controller ourself ) STEAM see our F310 as a xbox controller...

[@rohitpatil3014]

Ohk..hope so man.

[@bbbb8637]

Forgot to mention that the following controllers work out of the box ( PS3 Wireless not included ) Cordless Rumblepad 2 - F310 - F710 - PS3 Wired

$35 for a 2GB model. They're fairly cheap. It's everything else you (may) need with it that increases the price.

I ordered the Raspberry 4 from CanaKit and my SD card was sent with NOOBS already installed (which includes Raspian). Do I need to do the whole flashing step with my Mac as well or can I go straight into the setup steps in the Raspberry?

[@sik6hundred]

I bought a canakit 4 years ago. I believe you just insert the card and set up that way

[@TheWishbone9142]

Setup command isn't working!

[@9to5toys]

Oh no! I just made a couple of clarifications in the text in the video description. Did that help at all?

@@9to5toys I figured it out. You're not allowed to mess up. Once I did it right on the first try, it worked. Now I'm trying to figure out how to add games. Just bought all of this yesterday for my shop. Also, why would my hdmi signal keep going to no signal after awhile?

Raspbian is based on Debian, a linux distro. Roblox doesn't work on Linux.

Lazy Project, cheap ugly 3d printed case, why you install raspios instead of the retropie image(not released at that time? beta would have been sufficient!) but that all was nothing compared to the fact that you filmed the screen. Looks so bad. 2 Thumbs down...
