Hello chuck, Video idea, I remember a while back you were doing crypto videos and making some cash with our network, Yesterday I was researching and came across *WIFI HIS BILLING SYSTEMS* , The topic falls on networking and Linux, and it might be a good topic to have some extra cash from our internet. Love your videos . Enjoying from KENYA 🇰🇪
I have a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie connected to my TV. I play old console games with my 13-year old daughter. I bought two USB official Sega Genesis controllers and we play Mortal Kombat II together. A 30+ year old game I played with I was young. Now she beats me almost every time and she says it's her favourite game. It's awesome.
Oh they sell USB sega genesis controller? I thought they only carried the big controllers like ps2/3/4/5 controllers w/usb. Interesting, I always liked the Genesis controllers, small controllers hurt my hands.
Imagine taking this little piece of hardware back in time and showing all those console gamers what they will be able to do in the future on ONE device
@JohanlastZa With every space age tech there's inspiration for reality. The Dick Tracy watch? That's basically real now too. But we still have to wait for light sabers!🤦♂🤣
If u just showed early 90s kids the feature to play with their friends on the telephone lines they'd be floored, let alone a 1000 game library in ur pocket.
I really liked this video. Thank you so much for not only teaching us how to create this makeshift retro gaming console but also for showing us how to preserve old classics. 🙏
I've been working with Pi's since 2015. I have about 20 of them in almost every form and then some. I mainly use them for RetroPie. I have built images, downloaded images, and there really isn't anything new to them in terms of RetroPie. But, this video almost made them feel new to me after watching. I have never done the achievements and just might try that out. I also think it time that I generate a new image from scratch as those are the most fun. You guys really make it seem easy, and it actually is. There are a ton of areas to get into the weeds quickly though. But, you stayed away from that. Great video for a first timer who knows nothing about RetroPie and the Raspberry Pi!
I like that RetroAchievements shows indicators in the bottom right corner of Achievements that you can get in the level. For instance in Zelda LttP, when you are fighting Moldorm in the Tower of Hera, it shows 2 possible achievements, no damage and kill Moldorm in under 20 seconds. If you don't defeat Moldorm quickly or get hit, the indicators vanish, letting you know that you can't get them.
I love RetroPi. I set mine up so the ROMs folder is symbolicly linked to a folder on my NAS. This way it gets backed up. I have way more storage space there and if I need to add a ROM or set up a new Pi, it's easy. I just install my custom image and everything is there.
Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone! Hopefully I'll make it into some more videos soon. For this one, I definitely spent way too much time playing video games at work!!
Very detailed tutorial, thanks a bunch! One problem I had following the tutorial was that I copied all the ROMS from my PC into the ROMS folder on the PI, without realizing that they need to go into subfolders corresponding to the type of game / console (nes - Nintendo Entertainment System, snes - Super Nintendo Entertainment System, n64 - Nintendo 64, gb - Game Boy / Game Boy Color, gba - Game Boy Advance, etc). In the tutorial, the ROMS folder they copied on the PI, already had the mentioned subfolders. Still awesome video, thank you!
I built an Old Dell OptiPlex 3020 with Bactocera which is very similar to this and my 4-year-old loves to play the older games with me. It's became very fun configuring it to the way you want I think I have spent over 20 hours setting this up It's great to get it set to how you want, so then it makes it easier to copy the setup for another computer.
been building these since 2016 and i got my first pie, Love when others figure this out and build their first. so much fun, now i am going to set up netplay and send a pi to my friend and were going to play some Mortal Kombat 2: update: i like retropie, but when i make these for others i use Botocera because its easier for Newbies
I want build one for myself and for my son. So once he's old enough he can play old games, so he can appreciate them. It also gives me a library of games offline to play and enjoy.
Another option would be to get a used PC and install recall box or Launchbox. Both are great, also nothing wrong with a pie. By then the pie 6 or 7 will be out playing Halo lol.
After watching this months ago I made my own RetroPie just to test it. Now I switched to Batocera, which gets updated more often and has the same architecture! Give it a try!
dude i dont even mind watching your promo's, youre a master of your craft. " lets make the password coffee" " Put that in dashlane and watch it get roasted" BRO!!!
Make one with Batocera. It's preconfigured with emulators that go up to Xbox360/PS3/Wii U. Has way more options to work with to enhance the look and feel.
Yeah, a video in 2024 about Retropie is certainly a choice, that project hasn't seen any quality of life changes in like 5+ years? Meanwhile Batocera has regular updates and they probably could have cut this video in half due to not having to tweak and adjust things in retropie in multiple different places (not to mention actual Pi5 compatibility). Oh that option, you need to change that in emulationstation, that option is configured in retroarch, this other option is found one of the labyrinth of options that is retropie setup.
So ambitious video - especially considering y'all are risking waking the monster that is Nintendo. I've got notes: Audio quality is drastically different. Esthetic is clear - set design is almost there. Embrace the basement.
Burning a image from retropie's website using etcher is easier than what you propose here. Also, use the keyboard to configure the Pi, and you do not have to deal with weird controls! A easyer method to transfer ROMs to the PI is format a USB drive and place an retropie folder in the root... stick it to a USB port on the Pi and it will create all the folders you need for all the emulators you have installed. Take the thumb drive and copy the roms to it using your computer. Stick it back on the Pi and let it copy the files from the USB stick to the SD Card. This way you do not have to deal with network transfers, SSH, hostname and password.
I got into RetroPie a while back, and ironically, the "official" RetroPie is the one I had the most trouble with and gave up on. Instead, I tried RecalBox, Batocera and Lakka. I got allthree to work, and I honestly don't know which of the first two I like better--RecalBox and Batocera are both amazing. While Lakka *does* work, I'm not a fan of its interface (it's basically just plain RetroArch with no front-end).
Thats very helpful for since someone gave a Raspberry piece I think 4 or 5 and im new to it. It helped me install the os and everything. Now I got 2 computers lol 😂
Fun fact, is you press CTRL SHIFT X, on the raspberry pi window (right before writing your firmware) you can setup your wifi, host name, passwords, locations etc before hand
OK, so the Good thing about this video is, ; the explanatory method used, _pretty awesome,_ if like me; I have had, and diddling around with _r/pie_ for pretty-much over a decade, however, my using _Raspberry Pi_ was purely for arcade unit builds, going into basic setups and configuring the menu for the playability narrative for trading, nonetheless; personally iv always dreamt of going *deep down and dirty* into the complete configurations on every level, but just could not afford the time to explore the pies' rhetoric configuration; _EXPLORATION_ was not the premise I was heading for ... *_BUT_* ... this video smacks me up-side the head, now I feel like a retropie virgin not gunna lie. I do believe this is now one of my favourite videos alongside *ETA PRIMEs* tutorials ... so clear concise and informative, bless you Young man... *SUBBED*
Still got my 3B+ :) Like a 5 tho… Tip: Got a remote for Kodi (Talks to NAS), but won’t fully work with Retropie Menu (which is annoying). So I remapped the select keys to 8 and 6. Means can access Kodi purely by remote.
Updated my Retropie/Kodi build the other day. An option was causing some .mkv to jitter. Been playing with ffmpeg and Subtitles of late too. It now inflates set up (4x). As just me all have same fixed IP. But, possible to run a command to change it.
I did the same with my raspberry pi as I had one collecting dust but I also want to note that the rpi can boot from USB, which is where I installed retropie and placed my games
My Raspberry Pi 400 is my favorite game console. But RetroPie died years ago; the retro pi "scene" is Batocera now. Feels like some pretty big, basic stuff was missed during the research phase of this project, and the non-existence of a rpi5 version should have been a big hint.
This Video got me hyped up so much that i dug out my old RPi Handhelds just to find out how badly RetroFlag screwed up the skripts for the GPI Case 2 and 2w. I was instantly cured.
There’s also fully loaded images available as I’m sure you’re well aware. That’s what I always use at this point. Batocera is the best front end IMO. It seems to almost be a competition amongst the community to see who can make the best one. Some of them are unbelievably good.
I have used retropie for years but only on the raspberry pi 3B+, which topped out at PS1 and couldnt run any games made for later consoles. finally, the raspberry pi 5 is able to play gamecube/ps2!!! Time to finally replace my 3b+
I'd recommend enabling usb based storage for the roms and make a flash image copy of the sd card after getting it working the way you want. I've had corruption destroy a couple sd cards. With the roms on secondary storage, I don't risk losing them and reflashing the card is quick and easy. Also I use WinSCP for Rom transfer.
I set mine up this very way when i first received my pi 5 a few months ago. I also struggled with netplay. Loved the video. Very helpful stuff here. Who's up 4 a game of coleco "frontline"? lol. Also; this works awesome with lite 64 bit os for pi 5, if u want to save a bit of space.
Been waiting to get a Pi5 for Retro Pi. The Pi4 is okay but I'm hoping the Pi5 runs some of the roms better. Going to wait for the official support and for them to work out the kinks. I have it on a Pi4 anyway.
Pi4 for everything Dreamcast and earlier. Pi5 for PS2 and Gamecube . Gamecube I play on Retropie. PS2 aethersx2 on Ubuntu. 4GB Pi5. It's just easier to get everything to work that way. Overclock the Pi4, don't OC the Pi5.
@@sticktwig I have Retropie installed on a Raspberry Pi OS LITE version. No desktop. I can't remember whether it was ETA Prime or Leepspvids that had the how to on that. Both good channels for Pi anyway. It can't be the regular Pi OS for it to work. Like I said Gamecube, supposed to be able to do Wii on that too. Haven't messed with it beyond GC. Also several months old so there may be updates. I really wanted the Pi5 for PS2.
I Made about 126 of these when the RPi3 first came out. I ended up getting 220+ SNES USB Controllers from WISH for $1.00 Each, they took 2 months to get, but I still have a few that Work Great
Thanks for a great video. Is there any way of returning to the Pi OS when installing Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 5? Would be nice to still have home theater possibilities.
Re: Managing ROMs I'd just recommend getting FileZilla setting up and connecting with SSH the same way you did in the terminal. Then just drag and drop. Way simpler than scp.
You can even play some PC games. I flashed Windows 11 Pro arm64 and got Tanuki Justice running at full speed without over clocking. Android 14 is pretty cool too. I like having all 3 OS's. Windows, Linux and Android all in one machine. I use the 4B 8GB in the Vilros Keyboard TouchPad Hub. It's like a Stealthy Black C64.
Tou gotta use a PW manager, no matter the brand. Ive been with lastpass for over 10years, pre android, as i use to have to use a dolphin plugin to access my LP back then. But a manager is a must. But a physical book isnt a bad idea if your not leaving it in a public office. As a password book left next to your pc at home isnt the worst issue you have if someone has got to your actual pc.
Big fan here chuck❤️! I am expecting an N+ course from you here on RUclips. I love the way you teach, I am working as an IT help desk, I am so interested in Cyber Security, so I wanna enhance my knowledge in Networking before going for Cyber Security. Please do some magic and create an N+ course for the poor us.
Just wanna add something for everyone out there following along, when you transfer the ROMs via scp, you have to throw the ROMs in the correct folder of the console. so if you have an N64 game you need to throw the ROM from your host into the /retropie/rom/n64 folder etc..
Hello everyone. I have the following problem, when I go into the Retro pi settings or generally into the settings like Wlan, Bloutooth I always have a background that does not go away. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
An old computer with athird gen Intel i7 witch is 30$, a 1030 or 1050 or 1050ti or rx 480-470x witch is also about 30$ used , and you can install a linux distro or lightweight windows, download a rom dump of 300-400gb, and you can do all this and more , probably even emulate ps2 in x4 and play pc games up to gta 5 all for the same price or cheaper than a pi 5 , only inconvenience is the size but you can probably hide it behind your tv or something
new subscriber here thanks and appreciate to this content my passion for retro gaming is coming back I will check my old Raspberry Pi! keep on posting guys ^_^ love from: Philippines
With a Pi 4 golden eye it is possible however requires a fair bit of work and potential overlocking and additional configuration I’m sure it would be better performance on a Pi 5
Maybe you can answer me this: I am already running stuff on my Pi5, do you know if this still works with Retropi? I am currently just running the pihole but I want to add a mediaserver quite soon as well.
If your os crashes occasionally and some of the menu options don't work try redoing the retro pi os system installation on your raspberry pi. Also don't forget to "set up" the retropie system lol, I'm dumb
I did the older method for a while, but these new functions are looks fun! Also worth mention you should put your raspberry into a retro-console-looks case eg a superpi case from retroflag (oh, and don't forget to add some heatsink to your pie!) and also you could set up the shutdown button with a small python script. Rpi is still a fun platform to messing with :)

Also I use WinSCP for Rom transfer.
The ROMs I have mostly just crash or are duplicates. What are the proper search terms so that I can find working ROMs?
I highly recommend vimms lair if you haven't tried it out yet.
I am trying to find the same thing
the sponge bob reference popping on screen the moment i heard the commentary tells me we will be the best of friends :)
I set mine up this very way when i first received my pi 5 a few months ago. I also struggled with netplay. Loved the video. Very helpful stuff here. Who's up 4 a game of coleco "frontline"? lol. Also; this works awesome with lite 64 bit os for pi 5, if u want to save a bit of space.
Been waiting to get a Pi5 for Retro Pi. The Pi4 is okay but I'm hoping the Pi5 runs some of the roms better. Going to wait for the official support and for them to work out the kinks.
I have it on a Pi4 anyway.
According to a couple of reviewers, there is a performance increase with nearly every ROM and emulator for the pi.
Pi4 for everything Dreamcast and earlier. Pi5 for PS2 and Gamecube . Gamecube I play on Retropie. PS2 aethersx2 on Ubuntu. 4GB Pi5. It's just easier to get everything to work that way. Overclock the Pi4, don't OC the Pi5.
Last time I checked retropie didn't have an official image for the pi 5, But recalbox does have an experimental image though.
@@sticktwig I have Retropie installed on a Raspberry Pi OS LITE version. No desktop. I can't remember whether it was ETA Prime or Leepspvids that had the how to on that. Both good channels for Pi anyway. It can't be the regular Pi OS for it to work. Like I said Gamecube, supposed to be able to do Wii on that too. Haven't messed with it beyond GC. Also several months old so there may be updates. I really wanted the Pi5 for PS2.
I Made about 126 of these when the RPi3 first came out.
I ended up getting 220+ SNES USB Controllers from WISH for $1.00 Each, they took 2 months to get, but I still have a few that Work Great
Thanks for a great video. Is there any way of returning to the Pi OS when installing Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 5? Would be nice to still have home theater possibilities.
Re: Managing ROMs I'd just recommend getting FileZilla setting up and connecting with SSH the same way you did in the terminal. Then just drag and drop. Way simpler than scp.
This is great
You can even play some PC games. I flashed Windows 11 Pro arm64 and got Tanuki Justice running at full speed without over clocking. Android 14 is pretty cool too. I like having all 3 OS's. Windows, Linux and Android all in one machine. I use the 4B 8GB in the Vilros Keyboard TouchPad Hub. It's like a Stealthy Black C64.
Tou gotta use a PW manager, no matter the brand. Ive been with lastpass for over 10years, pre android, as i use to have to use a dolphin plugin to access my LP back then.
But a manager is a must. But a physical book isnt a bad idea if your not leaving it in a public office.
As a password book left next to your pc at home isnt the worst issue you have if someone has got to your actual pc.
Big fan here chuck❤️! I am expecting an N+ course from you here on RUclips. I love the way you teach, I am working as an IT help desk, I am so interested in Cyber Security, so I wanna enhance my knowledge in Networking before going for Cyber Security. Please do some magic and create an N+ course for the poor us.
Great job Alex.
Just wanna add something for everyone out there following along, when you transfer the ROMs via scp, you have to throw the ROMs in the correct folder of the console. so if you have an N64 game you need to throw the ROM from your host into the /retropie/rom/n64 folder etc..
Hello everyone. I have the following problem, when I go into the Retro pi settings or generally into the settings like Wlan, Bloutooth I always have a background that does not go away. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
An old computer with athird gen Intel i7 witch is 30$, a 1030 or 1050 or 1050ti or rx 480-470x witch is also about 30$ used , and you can install a linux distro or lightweight windows, download a rom dump of 300-400gb, and you can do all this and more , probably even emulate ps2 in x4 and play pc games up to gta 5 all for the same price or cheaper than a pi 5 , only inconvenience is the size but you can probably hide it behind your tv or something
"pretend like your life has meaning" was wild.
Great video!
Setting up that 2nd gamepad is a bit of a confusing endeavor as many of the retroarch keybindings are default on some config files.
new subscriber here thanks and appreciate to this content my passion for retro gaming is coming back I will check my old Raspberry Pi! keep on posting guys ^_^ love from: Philippines
Nice video. Thank you chuck and alex❤
Thank you guys! Funny and to the point!
Welcome back to the land of pi
6:54 is there a way to re-setup this as I done the joypad and some functions are not working? Thanks
Can't wait to try this myself!
Great video. Can't wait till my pi 4 arrives
That's awesome!!! Thank you guys
Retropie, installed in the van for a roadtrip... kids busy for hours.
That looks really good to me.
Maybe i had to upgrade my one ❤
good job Alex
Thank you! 😄
Where is a list of the games available? Does it have Goldeneye or WWF Wrestlefest(Arcade) ?
With a Pi 4 golden eye it is possible however requires a fair bit of work and potential overlocking and additional configuration I’m sure it would be better performance on a Pi 5
"Boom! Achievement unlocked and you can pretend like your life has meaning". OOF that hit hard
Excellent video. Im making this for my pi5 now. Thank you for the info.
Maybe you can answer me this: I am already running stuff on my Pi5, do you know if this still works with Retropi? I am currently just running the pihole but I want to add a mediaserver quite soon as well.
Nintendo's legal counsel has entered the chat...
The fbi wont get me lmao
is it possible to set on display settings a filter for CRT looks?
If your os crashes occasionally and some of the menu options don't work try redoing the retro pi os system installation on your raspberry pi. Also don't forget to "set up" the retropie system lol, I'm dumb
thanks for the info. great video
How do you get game cube and PlayStation on your retropie
Awesome guide!
Is it possible to have it built to support 2 controllers on the same Pie?
I did the older method for a while, but these new functions are looks fun! Also worth mention you should put your raspberry into a retro-console-looks case eg a superpi case from retroflag (oh, and don't forget to add some heatsink to your pie!) and also you could set up the shutdown button with a small python script. Rpi is still a fun platform to messing with :)
How did you get Nintendo games to show I’ve tried installing a lot of games and only psp games show no ds or will or ps2 games show?
Would it be possible to install this along side other programs like Home Assistant, NAS, Plex Server, etc?
wait a second, how did you get the pi 5 working on a CRT? it no longer has composite
26:14 does Netplay work on other ES OS' such as Lakka?
Did I miss the part of how to get the pi connected to my crt? Please help.
Is there a certain case you recommend to put the completed unit into?
