RetroPie Operating System 1. INTRODUCTION Dear customer, Thank you for choosing our product. In the following we will show you what to consider when commissioning and using the Retropie system. Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do not hesitate to contact us. 2. DISCLAIMER The operating system RetroPie described here is a software package that combines several so-called emulators into a multifunctional game console unit.
RetroPie Operating System 3. INSTALLATION First, download the RetroPie operating system from the RetroPie-Website. Use a suitable program (e.g. Etcher) to copy the image file you have downloaded to a microSD card. After you have successfully completed the process, you can insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi and start the system. Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System 4. NETWORK SETTINGS In order to communicate with your RetroPie system on the network, it must first be integrated into your existing home network. You can either connect your Raspberry Pi to your router with a commercially available RJ45 network cable or establish a wireless connection via WiFi/WLAN. To integrate your Raspberry Pi into your WLAN, go to "WiFi" in the RetroPie settings and follow the wizard that will appear. Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System After you have integrated your Raspberry Pi into your network, regardless of whether by cable or WLAN, you can now display the current IP network address which will later be required for the transmission of ROM files under the menu item "Show IP". In this case, the IP address is "192.168.1.236". Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System 5. COPY ROM-FILES / INSTALL GAMES If the system is integrated into your network, you can now enter the IP address in a Windows Explorer window to start the transmission of the ROM files. You can obtain this IP address by selecting "Show IP" in the RetroPie configuration menu as described in Chapter 4. Then start an Explorer window on a Windows computer and enter the IP address with the preceding character string "\\" in the upper address line. In our case "\192.168.1.
RetroPie Operating System In it you will then find a sequence of folders that represent the corresponding emulable systems. For example, the folder "snes" is responsible for providing all ROM files for emulating Super Nintendo games to the SNES emulator. You usually copy the rom files into the folder as a zipped file (not unzipped). Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System After you have restarted your Raspberry Pi, a new emulable system should be available in the main menu, with the corresponding game list consisting of the copied ROM files. Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System SPECIAL CASE: MAME [ARCADE ROMS]: The MAME emulation system also allows the emulation of arcade machines. The difference to normal consoles is that the games/software in gaming machines are not contained in individual elements such as cartridges/floppy disks/CDs, but are distributed over several chips in the machine. In order to simulate a certain machine, a complete set of "dumps" (English binary copy) of all chips must be available.
RetroPie Operating System 6. EMULATOR LISTING RetroPie software includes a variety of emulators for different systems. Which systems can be emulated exactly, where in each case the respective ROM files have to be copied and which ROM files do not or only insufficiently function due to compatibility, can be found in the extensive documentation of RetroPie under the link: https://github.com/retropie/retropie -setup/wiki Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
RetroPie Operating System 7. EMULATOR SETUP When starting a game from the game list of a system, you will see the following window before starting the actual game: Meanwhile, press any button to start the emulator configuration menu, where you can make settings for each game. This is useful, for example, if you want to change the emulator software used in the course of a higher compatibility. Veröffentlicht: 18.06.
