You NEED to have a RetroPie! (Setup Guide)

hello everybody this is DECA in this hello everybody this is DECA in this video what we are going to be doing is video what we are going to be doing is video what we are going to be doing is showing you how truly easy it is to turn showing you how truly easy it is to turn showing you how truly easy it is to turn your Raspberry Pi into a retro gaming your Raspberry Pi into a retro gaming your Raspberry Pi into a retro gaming console and we're going to be doing this console and we're going to be doing this console and we're going to be doing this with a popular Raspberry Pi operating with a popular Raspberry Pi operating with a popular Raspberry Pi operating system called retropie retropie gives system called retropie retropie gives system called retropie retropie gives you the availability to emulate a ton of you the availability to emulate a ton of you the availability to emulate a ton of different retro consoles including the different retro consoles including the different retro consoles including the Atari Dreamcast game boys various Atari Dreamcast game boys various Atari Dreamcast game boys various Nintendo devices older computers and Nintendo devices older computers and Nintendo devices older computers and much much more this Raspberry Pi 4 that much much more this Raspberry Pi 4 that much much more this Raspberry Pi 4 that I have here is absolutely phenomenal for I have here is absolutely phenomenal for I have here is absolutely phenomenal for emulating Sony PlayStation One games and emulating Sony PlayStation One games and emulating Sony PlayStation One games and that is my preferred use case the actual that is my preferred use case the actual that is my preferred use case the actual retropie operating system is simply a retropie operating system is simply a retropie operating system is simply a Debian based loaded with a bunch of Debian based loaded with a bunch of Debian based loaded with a bunch of customized features to make it a customized features to make it a customized features to make it a complete system these include emulation complete system these include emulation complete system these include emulation station retro Arch Kodi and of course station retro Arch Kodi and of course station retro Arch Kodi and of course the various themes that you can actually the various themes that you can actually the various themes that you can actually go ahead and pick from so in this video go ahead and pick from so in this video go ahead and pick from so in this video I'm going to be talking about some of I'm going to be talking about some of I'm going to be talking about some of the prerequisites that you're going to the prerequisites that you're going to the prerequisites that you're going to need to uh consider as well as how to need to uh consider as well as how to need to uh consider as well as how to actually install this on your Raspberry actually install this on your Raspberry actually install this on your Raspberry Pi set up your controller and then I'll Pi set up your controller and then I'll Pi set up your controller and then I'll load in a couple ROMs now speaking of load in a couple ROMs now speaking of load in a couple ROMs now speaking of ROMs I am going to have to note here ROMs I am going to have to note here ROMs I am going to have to note here that just downloading like Nintendo that just downloading like Nintendo that just downloading like Nintendo games from the Internet is going to be a games from the Internet is going to be a games from the Internet is going to be a violation of their terms of service and violation of their terms of service and violation of their terms of service and various copyright laws if you want this various copyright laws if you want this various copyright laws if you want this to all be completely fine and legal to all be completely fine and legal to all be completely fine and legal you're going to have to rip and load in you're going to have to rip and load in you're going to have to rip and load in copies of your physical games I'm not copies of your physical games I'm not copies of your physical games I'm not going to be showing you how to do that going to be showing you how to do that going to be showing you how to do that in this video but a quick Google search in this video but a quick Google search in this video but a quick Google search will lead you into the correct path to will lead you into the correct path to will lead you into the correct path to go ahead and rip the content that you go ahead and rip the content that you go ahead and rip the content that you already own and of course here and there already own and of course here and there already own and of course here and there there are materials on the internet in there are materials on the internet in there are materials on the internet in which you can download copyright free

which you can download copyright free which you can download copyright free games ROMs things like that so now on to games ROMs things like that so now on to games ROMs things like that so now on to the things that you are going to need of the things that you are going to need of the things that you are going to need of course you're going to need a Raspberry course you're going to need a Raspberry course you're going to need a Raspberry Pi the Raspberry Pi 4 again is awesome Pi the Raspberry Pi 4 again is awesome Pi the Raspberry Pi 4 again is awesome for the PS1 N64 generation emulation if for the PS1 N64 generation emulation if for the PS1 N64 generation emulation if you go a generation higher PS2 for you go a generation higher PS2 for you go a generation higher PS2 for example it does there's some games that example it does there's some games that example it does there's some games that work but it does struggle there's work but it does struggle there's work but it does struggle there's actually going to be a video in the actually going to be a video in the actually going to be a video in the future where I do get that working on a future where I do get that working on a future where I do get that working on a x86 device so make sure you're x86 device so make sure you're x86 device so make sure you're subscribed and you ring that Bell so you subscribed and you ring that Bell so you subscribed and you ring that Bell so you do not miss that of course you are going do not miss that of course you are going do not miss that of course you are going to need an SD card preferably of to need an SD card preferably of to need an SD card preferably of substantial size retropie requires 8 substantial size retropie requires 8 substantial size retropie requires 8 gigabytes just to function properly and gigabytes just to function properly and gigabytes just to function properly and then from there it's going to be then from there it's going to be then from there it's going to be dependent on the actual amount of games dependent on the actual amount of games dependent on the actual amount of games that you want to load one thing to that you want to load one thing to that you want to load one thing to consider older games such as the Super consider older games such as the Super consider older games such as the Super Nintendo and a lot of the Atari games Nintendo and a lot of the Atari games Nintendo and a lot of the Atari games are very small like five to ten are very small like five to ten are very small like five to ten megabytes but when you get into things megabytes but when you get into things megabytes but when you get into things like Playstation One games those are on like Playstation One games those are on like Playstation One games those are on CDs so they can range anywhere from like CDs so they can range anywhere from like CDs so they can range anywhere from like 500 to 700 megabytes now from there you 500 to 700 megabytes now from there you 500 to 700 megabytes now from there you could tell I have a pretty cool case could tell I have a pretty cool case could tell I have a pretty cool case here I got this case from a company here I got this case from a company here I got this case from a company called geek pie and it's super cool it's called geek pie and it's super cool it's called geek pie and it's super cool it's a little mini tower PC as you can see it a little mini tower PC as you can see it a little mini tower PC as you can see it does ship with a RGB fan and whole does ship with a RGB fan and whole does ship with a RGB fan and whole heatsink cooler system if you saw my heatsink cooler system if you saw my heatsink cooler system if you saw my previous video going over cooling on the previous video going over cooling on the previous video going over cooling on the Raspberry Pi you probably know that Raspberry Pi you probably know that Raspberry Pi you probably know that having a heat sink and fan like this having a heat sink and fan like this having a heat sink and fan like this will give you much better performance will give you much better performance will give you much better performance over just having a Raspberry Pi sitting over just having a Raspberry Pi sitting over just having a Raspberry Pi sitting there with absolutely nothing and even a there with absolutely nothing and even a there with absolutely nothing and even a much better performance than just much better performance than just much better performance than just throwing on a little heatsink this case throwing on a little heatsink this case throwing on a little heatsink this case is cool because it has a little screen I is cool because it has a little screen I is cool because it has a little screen I don't have the screen set up yet but you don't have the screen set up yet but you don't have the screen set up yet but you could display things such as the could display things such as the could display things such as the temperature CPU usage things like that

temperature CPU usage things like that temperature CPU usage things like that on there I have full access to just on there I have full access to just on there I have full access to just about everything the little SD card is about everything the little SD card is about everything the little SD card is kind of hard to get to in here but one kind of hard to get to in here but one kind of hard to get to in here but one thing I really like is on this side thing I really like is on this side thing I really like is on this side there came with a little L bracket so there came with a little L bracket so there came with a little L bracket so you could actually have these pins you could actually have these pins you could actually have these pins exposed so you can still have access to exposed so you can still have access to exposed so you can still have access to them very nice you don't necessarily them very nice you don't necessarily them very nice you don't necessarily have to use a case but it's much better have to use a case but it's much better have to use a case but it's much better to have something like this or even or to have something like this or even or to have something like this or even or even a little Canon kit case like this even a little Canon kit case like this even a little Canon kit case like this which again does have a fan now which again does have a fan now which again does have a fan now obviously you're gonna need your power obviously you're gonna need your power obviously you're gonna need your power your HDMI and most important you're your HDMI and most important you're your HDMI and most important you're going to need some kind of controller me going to need some kind of controller me going to need some kind of controller me I've been using Xbox 360 controllers for I've been using Xbox 360 controllers for I've been using Xbox 360 controllers for gaming for quite a while so that is gaming for quite a while so that is gaming for quite a while so that is generally my preference however generally my preference however generally my preference however depending on the system you're trying to depending on the system you're trying to depending on the system you're trying to emulate the most you might want to get a emulate the most you might want to get a emulate the most you might want to get a specific controller for that if we go specific controller for that if we go specific controller for that if we go over to Amazon here and just search up over to Amazon here and just search up over to Amazon here and just search up retro pie controller it's going to give retro pie controller it's going to give retro pie controller it's going to give us a whole bunch of different types of us a whole bunch of different types of us a whole bunch of different types of consoles for example here we can see consoles for example here we can see consoles for example here we can see this is Super Nintendo and if we go down this is Super Nintendo and if we go down this is Super Nintendo and if we go down even further we have the original even further we have the original even further we have the original Nintendo system we have some N64 and a Nintendo system we have some N64 and a Nintendo system we have some N64 and a lot of this stuff is well all of this lot of this stuff is well all of this lot of this stuff is well all of this stuff should be USB and even some of it stuff should be USB and even some of it stuff should be USB and even some of it as you can see we have wireless Super as you can see we have wireless Super as you can see we have wireless Super Nintendo controllers super cool stuff Nintendo controllers super cool stuff Nintendo controllers super cool stuff I'll link to some of the better stuff I'll link to some of the better stuff I'll link to some of the better stuff down below that you could go and check down below that you could go and check down below that you could go and check out but before we get too far this video out but before we get too far this video out but before we get too far this video was made possible by enter next enter was made possible by enter next enter was made possible by enter next enter next is a open source Cloud providing next is a open source Cloud providing next is a open source Cloud providing service for your files and photos and it service for your files and photos and it service for your files and photos and it is secure by designing meaning that your is secure by designing meaning that your is secure by designing meaning that your files are fragmented and encrypted files are fragmented and encrypted files are fragmented and encrypted before leaving your device thus before leaving your device thus before leaving your device thus everything is private by default they

and we over to the retropie website here and we over to the retropie website here and we could go ahead and click on get retropie could go ahead and click on get retropie could go ahead and click on get retropie here we have our various options so if here we have our various options so if here we have our various options so if you have an older Raspberry Pi you can you have an older Raspberry Pi you can you have an older Raspberry Pi you can pick those we have the raspberry by 4 or pick those we have the raspberry by 4 or pick those we have the raspberry by 4 or 400 here and there are options to 400 here and there are options to 400 here and there are options to install this on top of existing install this on top of existing install this on top of existing operating systems going to talk about I operating systems going to talk about I operating systems going to talk about I want to talk about that future video for want to talk about that future video for want to talk about that future video for now let's go ahead and download the now let's go ahead and download the now let's go ahead and download the version for the Raspberry Pi 4 which is version for the Raspberry Pi 4 which is version for the Raspberry Pi 4 which is what I'm going to be using here so now what I'm going to be using here so now what I'm going to be using here so now it's downloading so depending on your it's downloading so depending on your it's downloading so depending on your system you could flash this with either system you could flash this with either system you could flash this with either etcher or you can use something like a etcher or you can use something like a etcher or you can use something like a gnome disks if you're on a Linux system gnome disks if you're on a Linux system gnome disks if you're on a Linux system now alternatively to that if we head now alternatively to that if we head now alternatively to that if we head over to the Raspberry Pi website they over to the Raspberry Pi website they over to the Raspberry Pi website they actually have the the Raspberry Pi actually have the the Raspberry Pi actually have the the Raspberry Pi imager which is a great tool if you're imager which is a great tool if you're imager which is a great tool if you're somebody who owns a Raspberry Pi for

somebody who owns a Raspberry Pi for somebody who owns a Raspberry Pi for example here this is the actual imager example here this is the actual imager example here this is the actual imager that I have installed on the computer if that I have installed on the computer if that I have installed on the computer if I go ahead under operating system and I I go ahead under operating system and I I go ahead under operating system and I click choose OS of course I could go click choose OS of course I could go click choose OS of course I could go ahead and pick raspberry pios but if you ahead and pick raspberry pios but if you ahead and pick raspberry pios but if you actually go down here and you go to actually go down here and you go to actually go down here and you go to emulation and game OS give that a click emulation and game OS give that a click emulation and game OS give that a click we have the option right here to go we have the option right here to go we have the option right here to go ahead and pick retropie so from there ahead and pick retropie so from there ahead and pick retropie so from there I'd want to go ahead and pick the proper I'd want to go ahead and pick the proper I'd want to go ahead and pick the proper one so this is going to be for the pi 4 one so this is going to be for the pi 4 one so this is going to be for the pi 4 400 from there I go to choose storage I 400 from there I go to choose storage I 400 from there I go to choose storage I already have the SD card plugged in so already have the SD card plugged in so already have the SD card plugged in so I'm going to select it and then all I I'm going to select it and then all I I'm going to select it and then all I need to do is click on right now do know need to do is click on right now do know need to do is click on right now do know of course it is going to completely wipe of course it is going to completely wipe of course it is going to completely wipe the data on the SD card so if there's the data on the SD card so if there's the data on the SD card so if there's anything important go ahead and back it anything important go ahead and back it anything important go ahead and back it up somewhere else and from there I'll go up somewhere else and from there I'll go up somewhere else and from there I'll go ahead and download and you can see there ahead and download and you can see there ahead and download and you can see there is now writing our image and then here is now writing our image and then here is now writing our image and then here we can see you can now remove the SD we can see you can now remove the SD we can see you can now remove the SD card from the reader so there are no card from the reader so there are no card from the reader so there are no issues so I'm going to go to unplug that issues so I'm going to go to unplug that issues so I'm going to go to unplug that get our little SD card and then all you get our little SD card and then all you get our little SD card and then all you need to do is insert it into your need to do is insert it into your need to do is insert it into your raspberry area pi and now all we need to raspberry area pi and now all we need to raspberry area pi and now all we need to do is set this up so I'm going to go do is set this up so I'm going to go do is set this up so I'm going to go ahead and plug in our controller our ahead and plug in our controller our ahead and plug in our controller our HDMI and then of course our power now HDMI and then of course our power now HDMI and then of course our power now the very first thing when you first the very first thing when you first the very first thing when you first booted up it's going to go ahead and booted up it's going to go ahead and booted up it's going to go ahead and resize the root file system that is very resize the root file system that is very resize the root file system that is very handy because just a normal flash like handy because just a normal flash like handy because just a normal flash like that to an SD card is not going to give that to an SD card is not going to give that to an SD card is not going to give us full access to all the storage we us full access to all the storage we us full access to all the storage we have available so now that it does that have available so now that it does that have available so now that it does that automatically for us we will have access automatically for us we will have access automatically for us we will have access to actually have room to put our ROMs to actually have room to put our ROMs to actually have room to put our ROMs and retropie so if you see this screen and retropie so if you see this screen and retropie so if you see this screen you are definitely on the right track you are definitely on the right track you are definitely on the right track and then we have emulation station and then we have emulation station and then we have emulation station loading up you can kind of see some of loading up you can kind of see some of loading up you can kind of see some of the games that's loading there and now

the games that's loading there and now the games that's loading there and now welcome so we already went ahead and welcome so we already went ahead and welcome so we already went ahead and plugged in our Xbox controller this plugged in our Xbox controller this plugged in our Xbox controller this should recognize any USB controller should recognize any USB controller should recognize any USB

enable is going to be the Xbox button enable is going to be the Xbox button and then go ahead and hit the uh well and then go ahead and hit the uh well and then go ahead and hit the uh well what you mapped as a it's actually going what you mapped as a it's actually going what you mapped as a it's actually going to be B on this controller so I'm going to be B on this controller so I'm going to be B on this controller so I'm going to go and hit B to go ahead and continue to go and hit B to go ahead and continue to go and hit B to go ahead and continue and there we go we are now in our system and there we go we are now in our system and there we go we are now in our system there's no ROMs or anything so it's not there's no ROMs or anything so it's not there's no ROMs or anything so it's not going to detect anything in here but going to detect anything in here but going to detect anything in here but we'll get to that in a minute first what we'll get to that in a minute first what we'll get to that in a minute first what we're going to want to do is go into the we're going to want to do is go into the we're going to want to do is go into the retropie configuration and the very retropie configuration and the very retropie configuration and the very first thing is going to connect to Wi-Fi first thing is going to connect to Wi-Fi first thing is going to connect to Wi-Fi so we can actually go ahead load ROMs so we can actually go ahead load ROMs so we can actually go ahead load ROMs and actually connect to the device with and actually connect to the device with and actually connect to the device with our home network and to do this we're our home network and to do this we're our home network and to do this we're going to want to start off by going to going to want to start off by going to going to want to start off by going to the rasp pie time to fix so go ahead and the rasp pie time to fix so go ahead and the rasp pie time to fix so go ahead and select that and then here we are there's select that and then here we are there's select that and then here we are there's a lot of different things that we could a lot of different things that we could a lot of different things that we could change in here but what we're going to change in here but what we're going to change in here but what we're going to want to focus on first is the want to focus on first is the want to focus on first is the localization option so go ahead and hit

localization option so go ahead and hit localization option so go ahead and hit over and a to select that and right here over and a to select that and right here over and a to select that and right here under WLAN country you're going to have under WLAN country you're going to have under WLAN country you're going to have to select this before you're able to to select this before you're able to to select this before you're able to connect to Wi-Fi so over select and then connect to Wi-Fi so over select and then connect to Wi-Fi so over select and then I'm going to go all the way down and if I'm going to go all the way down and if I'm going to go all the way down and if you use the trigger buttons it will you use the trigger buttons it will you use the trigger buttons it will actually skip you ahead a little further actually skip you ahead a little further actually skip you ahead a little further and quicker so I'm going to find my and quicker so I'm going to find my and quicker so I'm going to find my country which happens to be the United country which happens to be the United country which happens to be the United States so select that country set to us States so select that country set to us States so select that country set to us continue and now one thing we could do continue and now one thing we could do continue and now one thing we could do real quick before we connect to Wi-Fi is real quick before we connect to Wi-Fi is real quick before we connect to Wi-Fi is go over here to display options here you go over here to display options here you go over here to display options here you can set your resolution later on I'm can set your resolution later on I'm can set your resolution later on I'm going to give you a tip because if you going to give you a tip because if you going to give you a tip because if you try to plug this into a 4K display it try to plug this into a 4K display it try to plug this into a 4K display it might not want to work right because in might not want to work right because in might not want to work right because in 4k you're going to want to down scale 4k you're going to want to down scale 4k you're going to want to down scale that to at least 1080p for it to that to at least 1080p for it to that to at least 1080p for it to actually a function properly but what actually a function properly but what actually a function properly but what we're going to be focusing on right now we're going to be focusing on right now we're going to be focusing on right now is underscan so we're moving these black is underscan so we're moving these black is underscan so we're moving these black borders around the screen that's kind of borders around the screen that's kind of borders around the screen that's kind of important if you're doing this on like important if you're doing this on like important if you're doing this on like an older uh what is it cvtv I think I an older uh what is it cvtv I think I an older uh what is it cvtv I think I could would be wrong the ungodly heavy could would be wrong the ungodly heavy could would be wrong the ungodly heavy ones so I'm gonna go over select would ones so I'm gonna go over select would ones so I'm gonna go over select would you like to enable compensation for you like to enable compensation for you like to enable compensation for delays with overscan I'm going to say no delays with overscan I'm going to say no delays with overscan I'm going to say no and continue and for now I'm going to go and continue and for now I'm going to go and continue and for now I'm going to go ahead and save what we've done so far so ahead and save what we've done so far so ahead and save what we've done so far so I'm going to go ahead and go to finish I'm going to go ahead and go to

our networks let's go going to scan for our networks let's go going to scan for our networks let's go ahead and connect to hopkify and I'm ahead and connect to hopkify and I'm ahead and connect to hopkify and I'm going to type in my password so we're going to type in my password so we're going to type in my password so we're going to skip or blur this there we go

going to skip or blur this there we go going to skip or blur this there we go and the really cool thing is that they and the really cool thing is that they and the really cool thing is that they actually have this now so you don't have actually have this now so you don't have actually have this now so you don't have to plug a keyboard into it I haven't to plug a keyboard into it I haven't to plug a keyboard into it I haven't plugged a keyboard or Mouse into this at plugged a keyboard or Mouse into this at plugged a keyboard or Mouse into this at all all this is done with this Xbox all all this is done with this Xbox all all this is done with this Xbox controller so let's go ahead and go okay controller so let's go ahead and go okay controller so let's go ahead and go okay there we go it's connecting and we have there we go it's connecting and we have there we go it's connecting and we have our IP address so I'm going to write our IP address so I'm going to write our IP address so I'm going to write that down real quick so from there we that down real quick so from there we that down real quick so from there we could go to to exit and I do believe could go to to exit and I do believe could go to to exit and I do believe that's everything that we need to do for that's everything that we need to do for that's everything that we need to do for now when it comes to the actual now when it comes to the actual now when it comes to the actual configuring of everything oh almost configuring of everything oh almost configuring of everything oh almost forgot go back into the rasp config and forgot go back into the rasp config and forgot go back into the rasp config and we need to enable SSH so I believe it is we need to enable SSH so I believe it is we need to enable SSH so I believe it is under interface options SSH right here under interface options SSH right here under interface options SSH right here so let's go ahead and select that and so let's go ahead and select that and so let's go ahead and select that and yes we do want to enable SSH so there we yes we do want to enable SSH so there we yes we do want to enable SSH so there we go and now what we're going to be doing go and now what we're going to be doing go and now what we're going to be doing is switching over to a filezilla on the is switching over to a filezilla on the is switching over to a filezilla on the computer filezilla is a wonderful file computer filezilla is a wonderful file computer filezilla is a wonderful file transfer application here it is I've transfer application here it is I've transfer application here it is I've been using this application probably been using this application probably been using this application probably since I could turn on a computer so what since I could turn on a computer so what since I could turn on a computer so what we're going to want to do is go SFTP we're going to want to do is go SFTP we're going to want to do is go SFTP semicolon forward slash forward slash semicolon forward slash forward slash semicolon forward slash forward slash and then that IP address and then for and then that IP address and then for and then that IP address and then for the username it's going to be pi and the the username it's going to be pi and the the username it's going to be pi and the password is going to be raspberry so password is going to be raspberry so password is going to be raspberry so from there let's go ahead and hit quick from there let's go ahead and hit quick from there let's go ahead and hit quick connect and this is indeed our Raspberry connect and this is indeed our Raspberry connect and this is indeed our Raspberry Pi so this is going to be a safe Pi so this is going to be a safe Pi so this is going to be a safe connection and there we go you can see connection and there we go you can see connection and there we go you can see retropie retropie setup you can access a retropie retropie setup you can access a retropie retropie setup you can access a lot of the configuration and just about lot of the configuration and just about lot of the configuration and just about everything through here if you'd like to everything through here if you'd like to everything through here if you'd like to the thing to really keep note of if we the thing to really keep note of if we the thing to really keep note of if we go over to retropie and then right here go over to retropie and then right here go over to retropie and then right here under ROMs this is where all those are under ROMs this is where all those are under ROMs this is where all those are going to be stored you can see all the going to be stored you can see all the going to be stored you can see all the different games so we have a NES N64 PSX

different games so we have a NES N64 PSX different games so we have a NES N64 PSX is going to be the PlayStation one so on is going to be the PlayStation one so on is going to be the PlayStation one so on and so forth Additionally you may need and so forth Additionally you may need and so forth Additionally you may need to load in extra bios and this is going to load in extra bios and this is going to load in extra bios and this is going to be the place you do that so within to be the place you do that so within to be the place you do that so within filezilla what I did real quick is I filezilla what I did real quick is I filezilla what I did real quick is I migrated over to some of the games you migrated over to some of the games you migrated over to some of the games you can see I have some PSX as well as some can see I have some PSX as well as some can see I have some PSX as well as some NES games and we're just going to be NES games and we're just going to be NES games and we're just going to be dropping those over into our Raspberry dropping those over into our Raspberry dropping those over into our Raspberry Pi so we go over to ROMs let's do the Pi so we go over to ROMs let's do the Pi so we go over to ROMs let's do the NES game first so or SNES so you're NES game first so or SNES so you're NES game first so or SNES so you're going to go down right here if I open up going to go down right here if I open up going to go down right here if I open up this folder you can see I have two of this folder you can see I have two of this folder you can see I have two of them Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario them Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario them Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario All-Stars and all we do is drag and drop All-Stars and all we do is drag and drop All-Stars and all we do is drag and drop them in there and boom you can see like them in there and boom you can see like them in there and boom you can see like I mentioned earlier they are incredibly I mentioned earlier they are incredibly I mentioned earlier they are incredibly small files just a couple megabytes and small files just a couple megabytes and small files just a couple megabytes and this is in comparison to these this is in comparison to these this is in comparison to these Playstation One games I'm about to drop Playstation One games I'm about to drop Playstation One games I'm about to drop in if I open up PSX you can see we have in if I open up PSX you can see we have in if I open up PSX you can see we have quite a few things here we have Crash quite a few things here we have Crash quite a few things here we have Crash Bandicoot and Pac-Man World and Spyro of Bandicoot and Pac-Man World and Spyro of Bandicoot and Pac-Man World and Spyro of the Dragon I'm showing you this because the Dragon I'm showing you this because the Dragon I'm showing you this because there's kind of three different things there's kind of three different things there's kind of three different things going on here for these PlayStation 1 going on here for these PlayStation 1 going on here for these PlayStation 1 games most of these are going to be in games most of these are going to be in games most of these are going to be in dot bin which are the actual binary dot bin which are the actual binary dot bin which are the actual binary files and depending on music and what files and depending on music and what files and depending on music and what the actual games consist of there might the actual games consist of there might the actual games consist of there might be track files so you can see here this be track files so you can see here this be track files so you can see here this Pac-Man World has multiple track files Pac-Man World has multiple track files Pac-Man World has multiple track files that all make up that one game that all make up that one game that all make up that one game additionally Spyro the Dragon here is a additionally Spyro the Dragon here is a additionally Spyro the Dragon here is a direct ripped image so that's another direct ripped image so that's another direct ripped image so that's another format you may run into images do not format you may run into images do not format you may run into images do not need a q file which you can see Pac-Man need a q file which you can see Pac-Man need a q file which you can see Pac-Man and Crash Bandicoot have a Q file which and Crash Bandicoot have a Q file which and Crash Bandicoot have a Q file which is how retropie is actually going to be is how retropie is actually going to be is how retropie is actually going to be able to read the binary if you don't able to read the binary if you don't able to read the binary if you don't have a Q file when you go ahead and rip have a Q file when you go ahead and rip have a Q file when you go ahead and rip your disks it's really easy to get one

your disks it's really easy to get one your disks it's really easy to get one of those just search up like PS1 Q of those just search up like PS1 Q of those just search up like PS1 Q generator and you'll find it they're generator and you'll find it they're generator and you'll find it they're pretty simple files so I'm going to go pretty simple files so I'm going to go pretty simple files so I'm going to go ahead and select all of these and drag ahead and select all of these and drag ahead and select all of these and drag and drop it on over additionally if you and drop it on over additionally if you and drop it on over additionally if you ever see these SRM files those are save ever see these SRM files those are save ever see these SRM files those are save files so if you ever want to back those files so if you ever want to back those files so if you ever want to back those up for your specific game saves that is up for your specific game saves that is up for your specific game saves that is how you're going to want to do that and how you're going to want to do that and how you're going to want to do that and we can see here that the last game Spyro we can see here that the last game Spyro we can see here that the last game Spyro the Dragon is just about loaded up onto the Dragon is just about loaded up onto the Dragon is just about loaded up onto retropie there we go so what we're going retropie there we go so what we're going retropie there we go so what we're going to do is hit the start button real quick to do is hit the start button real quick to do is hit the start button real quick and here we could go ahead and go to and here we could go ahead and go to and here we could go ahead and go to quit and restart the system and actually quit and restart the system and actually quit and restart the system and actually just restarting emulation station should just restarting emulation station should just restarting emulation station should be able to load up these games for us be able to load up these games for us be able to load up these games for us and when it does boot we should have and when it does boot we should have and when it does boot we should have some more options which you can see here some more options which you can see here some more options which you can see here we have PlayStation and Super Nintendo we have PlayStation and Super Nintendo we have PlayStation and Super Nintendo so for example if I go over to so for example if I go over to so for example if I go over to PlayStation here we have Crash Bandicoot PlayStation here we have Crash Bandicoot PlayStation here we have Crash Bandicoot Pac-Man World and Spyro the Dragon so Pac-Man World and Spyro the Dragon so Pac-Man World and Spyro the Dragon so for example let's go ahead and load up for example let's go ahead and load up for example let's go ahead and load up Crash Bandicoot and hope for the best if Crash Bandicoot and hope for the best if Crash Bandicoot and hope for the best if it doesn't work for you the first time it doesn't work for you the first time it doesn't work for you the first time just reinstall it try again and then if just reinstall it try again and then if just reinstall it try again and then if it still doesn't work it's probably it still doesn't work it's probably it still doesn't work it's probably something to do with your rip we can see something to do with your rip we can see something to do with your rip we can see that it loaded up the GamePad when you that it loaded up the GamePad when you that it loaded up the GamePad when you see those things in the bottom there see those things in the bottom there see those things in the bottom there that's when you know that things are that's when you know that things are that's when you know that things are working in your favor wait for all these working in your favor wait for all these working in your favor wait for all these to go by and look how beautiful that is to go by and look how beautiful that is to go by and look how beautiful that is we are in we are playing life is good oh we are in we are playing life is good oh we are in we are playing life is good oh I should have jumped on that one this I should have jumped on that one this I should have jumped on that one this right here is what I grew up on this and right here is what I grew up on this and right here is what I grew up on this and I like PlayStation 2 uh Jack and Daxter I like PlayStation 2 uh Jack and Daxter I like PlayStation 2 uh Jack and Daxter wretch and Clank that was a uh oh wretch and Clank that was a uh oh wretch and Clank that was a uh oh that was a good majority of my childhood

that was a good majority of my childhood that was a good majority of my childhood now if you're in a game and you just now if you're in a game and you just now if you're in a game and you just want to kind of force quit and get out want to kind of force quit and get out want to kind of force quit and get out right away hitting the uh I think it's right away hitting the uh I think it's right away hitting the uh I think it's like the hotkey button and start like the hotkey button and start like the hotkey button and start depending on the controller at the exact depending on the controller at the exact depending on the controller at the exact same time we'll go ahead and take you same time we'll go ahead and take you same time we'll go ahead and take you out like so now this doesn't look very out like so now this doesn't look very out like so now this doesn't look very good so what I'm gonna do real quick is good so what I'm gonna do real quick is good so what I'm gonna do real quick is show you how to use the scraper hit the show you how to use the scraper hit the show you how to use the scraper hit the start button you can see it's the first start button you can see it's the first start button you can see it's the first option so I'm going to select scraper option so I'm going to select scraper option so I'm going to select scraper scrape from the game database usually is scrape from the game database usually is scrape from the game database usually is completely fine so I'm going to go ahead completely fine so I'm going to go ahead completely fine so I'm going to go ahead and go scraped now we have a filter so and go scraped now we have a filter so and go scraped now we have a filter so only missing image we have two systems only missing image we have two systems only missing image we have two systems selected so I'm going to go ahead and selected so I'm going to go ahead and selected so I'm going to go ahead and start and what this is going to do is start and what this is going to do is start and what this is going to do is pull various metadata so like the game pull various metadata so like the game pull various metadata so like the game cover art descriptions release date cover art descriptions release date cover art descriptions release date things like that so it went ahead found things like that so it went ahead found things like that so it went ahead found Crash Bandicoot and you could kind of Crash Bandicoot and you could kind of Crash Bandicoot and you could kind of pick whatever one you prefer so that's a pick whatever one you prefer so that's a pick whatever one you prefer so that's a Japanese version so I'm probably gonna Japanese version so I'm probably gonna Japanese version so I'm probably gonna go with this one right here when you go with this one right here when you go with this one right here when you select it it's automatically going to go select it it's automatically going to go select it it's automatically going to go to the next game so we have Pac-Man to the next game so we have Pac-Man to the next game so we have Pac-Man World select that Spyro the Dragon and World select that Spyro the Dragon and World select that Spyro the Dragon and you can see if I go down it just kind of you can see if I go down it just kind of you can see if I go down it just kind of changes the cover art we have Greatest changes the cover art we have Greatest changes the cover art we have Greatest Hits Platinum here here but I'm going to Hits Platinum here here but I'm going to Hits Platinum here here but I'm going to

it's looking a lot better Pac-Man it's it's looking a lot better Pac-Man it's it's looking a lot better Pac-Man World is truly an underrated game I mean World is truly an underrated game I mean World is truly an underrated game I mean why would anybody not want to play 3D why would anybody not want to play 3D why would anybody not want to play 3D Pac-Man I just don't understand Pac-Man I just don't understand Pac-Man I just don't understand I spent so much time playing this I I spent so much time playing this I I spent so much time playing this I think when I originally played this I think when I originally played this I think when I originally played this I found it at a Goodwill because it was a found it at a Goodwill because it was a found it at a Goodwill because it was a Playstation One game I had a PlayStation

Playstation One game I had a PlayStation Playstation One game I had a PlayStation 2 at the time that was one of the best 2 at the time that was one of the best 2 at the time that was one of the best finds of my entire life so with that I finds of my entire life so with that I finds of my entire life so with that I do have uh two more little uh quick tips do have uh two more little uh quick tips do have uh two more little uh quick tips for you now earlier I did mention that I for you now earlier I did mention that I for you now earlier I did mention that I was having issues down scaling the was having issues down scaling the was having issues down scaling the resolution on a 4K display there's resolution on a 4K display there's resolution on a 4K display there's actually something I needed to manually actually something I needed to manually actually something I needed to manually add in the configuration file to allow add in the configuration file to allow add in the configuration file to allow me to do this and I'm going to show you me to do this and I'm going to show you me to do this and I'm going to show you that real quick so this is my terminal that real quick so this is my terminal that real quick so this is my terminal I'm going to go ahead and SSH directly I'm going to go ahead and SSH directly I'm going to go ahead and SSH directly into this so so that way I can run into this so so that way I can run into this so so that way I can run commands I can actually interface with commands I can actually interface with commands I can actually interface with the system properly so SSH and this is the system properly so SSH and this is the system properly so SSH and this is going to be at Pi or the pi user at the going to be at Pi or the pi user at the going to be at Pi or the pi user at the IP address which in my case this is my IP address which in my case this is my IP address which in my case this is my IP so I hit enter I type in yes and then IP so I hit enter I type in yes and then IP so I hit enter I type in yes and then type in that password so that's type in that password so that's type in that password so that's raspberry make sure you type it in right raspberry make sure you type it in right raspberry make sure you type it in right and there we go so now what we're going and there we go so now what we're going and there we go so now what we're going to want to do is go ahead and edit the to want to do is go ahead and edit the to want to do is go ahead and edit the config.txt and I do believe that is in config.txt and I do believe that is in config.txt and I do believe that is in the root directory by LS and there we the root directory by LS and there we the root directory by LS and there we have the boot folder let's go ahead and have the boot folder let's go ahead and have the boot folder let's go ahead and CD in the boot the ls again you can see CD in the boot the ls again you can see CD in the boot the ls again you can see right here is the config.txt now being right here is the config.txt now being right here is the config.txt now being that this isn't in our home directory that this isn't in our home directory that this isn't in our home directory we're gonna have to do this as super we're gonna have to do this as super we're gonna have to do this as super user so it's going to be sudo Nano Nano user so it's going to be sudo Nano Nano user so it's going to be sudo Nano Nano is a text editor and then we have config is a text editor and then we have config is a text editor and then we have config dot txt we may need to enter our dot txt we may need to enter our dot txt we may need to enter our password but in that case I did not need password but in that case I did not need password but in that case I did not need to do that now you'll see here a lot of to do that now you'll see here a lot of to do that now you'll see here a lot of these same stuff that's in the rasp these same stuff that's in the rasp these same stuff that's in the rasp config menu on our actual system now config menu on our actual system now config menu on our actual system now what I went ahead and added thanks to a what I went ahead and added thanks to a what I went ahead and added thanks to a post on Reddit is this right here HDMI

post on Reddit is this right here HDMI post on Reddit is this right here HDMI underscore ignore underscore e did and underscore ignore underscore e did and underscore ignore underscore e did and then this code I'll go ahead and leave then this code I'll go ahead and leave then this code I'll go ahead and leave that down below so if you're having that down below so if you're having that down below so if you're having issues you can input that Ctrl o to save issues you can input that Ctrl o to save issues you can input that Ctrl o to save it out enter control X to exit out it out enter control X to exit out it out enter control X to exit out restart and see if you have the same restart and see if you have the same restart and see if you have the same issues and if you are unaware you can issues and if you are unaware you can issues and if you are unaware you can change your resolution by going to rasp change your resolution by going to rasp change your resolution by going to rasp config going to display options go to config going to display options go to config going to display options go to resolution and here you can set a resolution and here you can set a resolution and here you can set a specific resolution if you're running 4K specific resolution if you're running 4K specific resolution if you're running 4K I do recommend put it at 1080p you're I do recommend put it at 1080p you're I do recommend put it at 1080p you're going to have a much better time I mean going to have a much better time I mean going to have a much better time I mean it's retro games you don't need it at 4K it's retro games you don't need it at 4K it's retro games you don't need it at 4K additionally something I mentioned if additionally something I mentioned if additionally something I mentioned if you for some reason quickly run out of you for some reason quickly run out of you for some reason quickly run out of storage when you know you have more what storage when you know you have more what storage when you know you have more what we could do is go to the I think it's we could do is go to the I think it's we could do is go to the I think it's under Advanced options and there it is under Advanced options and there it is under Advanced options and there it is expand file system so you just select expand file system so you just select expand file system so you just select that and then it's going to run through that and then it's going to run through that and then it's going to run through the process of doing that you can see the process of doing that you can see the process of doing that you can see the root file system has been resized so the root file system has been resized so the root file system has been resized so that is just one thing that you could do that is just one thing that you could do that is just one thing that you could do if you run into any issues and really if you run into any issues and really if you run into any issues and really that's about about it you now have your that's about about it you now have your that's about about it you now have your retro console set up where you can play retro console set up where you can play retro console set up where you can play all your old games in one convenient all your old games in one convenient all your old games in one convenient place if you're interested in some more place if you're interested in some more place if you're interested in some more types of videos around this please let types of videos around this please let types of videos around this please let me know Down Below in the comments or if me know Down Below in the comments or if me know Down Below in the comments or if you have any questions or if this has you have any questions or if this has you have any questions or if this has just helped you out please let us know just helped you out please let us know just helped you out please let us know down below like always we have a Weekly down below like always we have a Weekly down below like always we have a Weekly Newsletter that I do recommend you Newsletter that I do recommend you Newsletter that I do recommend you subscribe to there'll be a link to do subscribe to there'll be a link to do subscribe to there'll be a link to do that down below and there's an option a that down below and there's an option a that down below and there's an option a paid option if you're interested in paid option if you're interested in paid option if you're interested in supporting the channel in that way the supporting the channel in that way the supporting the channel in that way the text version of this entire video will text version of this entire video will text version of this entire video will also be linked Down Below on the same also be linked Down Below on the same also be linked Down Below on the same website that hosts the newsletter so
