1. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set General Informations & Security Informations Dear customer, thank you for purchasing our product. The preinstalled RetroPie-Operating-System does not only contain emulators for different arcade machines but also allows the emulation of gaming-systems like Amiga, Atari, Commodore C64, Game Boy, SNES and many more. There is a software-package on the enclosed microSD-card which is called RetroPie.
3 2. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Connection Attach the supplied heat sinks to the chips of the Raspberry Pi. Now insert the supplied SD-Card into your Raspberry Pi. The operating-system RetroPie is already preinstalled. If you want to install the latest version or if you want to reinstall the system, you can download the latest image from the RetriPie website. Insert the Raspberry Pi into the supplied case and connect the power supply and the HDMI-cable.
3 3. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set First Setup For the first setup of your system, and also for the further usage, we recommend to connect a keyboard to your Raspberry Pi. In the now following setup we will configure the system for the network-communication so you are able to transfer the ROM-Files. To allow the network-communication on your system, you can either connect a normal RJ45 networkcable or you can connect by WiFi.
3 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set After you successfully configured the wired or wirless network, you can check your IP-address by opening the „Show IP“-menu. The IP address is important to copy the ROM-Files. In this case, the IP-address would be „192.168.1.236“. Ausgabe 24.11.
3 4. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Transferring ROM-Files If you integrated your system to your network, you can start transferring ROM-Files. Just open up the Windows Explorer and enter the IP-Address with the preceding string „\\“. In our case we would have to enter the following address: „\\192.168.1.236“. Confirm by pressing enter. Afterwards, you should be able to see four network-folders. To copy games to the system, open the „roms“-folder.
3 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Normally you need to copy the ROM-Files as a zipped file (not extracted) in the specific folder. After rebooting your system, the specific emulator should appear in the main menu. This emulator should contain a game-list with the ROMs you have copied. Ausgabe 24.11.
3 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Specific case: MAME [Arcade ROMS]: The MAME emulation-system allows you to emulate arcade machines. The difference to a normal console is that the games are not stored on a single element like a cartridge, but are distributed on multiple chips. To rebuild a specific machine, a complete set of all build chips needs to be present. If you are not extracting the data by yourself, but getting the data from other sources, you will find the term „romset“.
3 5. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Emulators 5.1 Emulator-Listing The RetroPie software includes a variety of emulators for different systems. Which systems can be emulated exactly, where the respective ROM files have to be copied in each case and which ROM files do not or only inadequately function due to compatibility, can be found in the extensive documentation of RetroPie under the link: https://github.
3 5.2 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B RetroPi Set Emulator-Setup When starting a game from the game list of a system, you will see the following window before starting the actual game: While doing so, press any button to start the emulator configuration menu, where you can make settings for the respective game.
