This page is for people just getting started on RetroPie. The easiest way to install RetroPie is the SD
image which is a ready to go system built upon top of the Raspbian OS this is the method
described in the following guide. Alternatively, advanced users can install RetroPie manually.
This guide will give you the very basics to get you up and running from a blank SD card to first

Once you have downloaded your SD card image you need to extract it using a program such as 7
Zip. You will extract the downloaded .gz file and the extracted file will be a .img file.

2. For mac you can use Apple Pi Baker
Stratagus
3. For Linux you can use dd command or Unetbootin
Super Mario War
Note RetroPie is built on top of Raspbian a linux based OS for the Raspberry Pi and as such the
partition on the SD card is EXT4 a linux filesystem which is not visible on windows systems, so the
card will show up as a smaller size than usual and you wont be able to see everything on the card,
but it is all there. You will be able to access the filesystem over the network as described in the
transferring roms section below.

EmulationStation
Where are the systems?
When you first see EmulationStation you may wonder why you don't see systems like the
SNES or Game Boy- worry not- they are installed on the system, roms just need to be added
to their respective rom folders before they will become visible. Transferring roms are
described in the following steps.

Where are the systems?
Configuring Wifi
If you wish to use wifi to transfer roms over the network rather than a USB stick or Ethernet cable
you'll need to setup your wifi which can also be done from the Retropie menu in emulationstation:
It will open into this menu:
12/18
12/10/2016
Choose your SSID from a list:
13/18
12/10/2016
Type your Wifi Password You may need to wait a bit after you finish for the configurations to save
After it's done configuring you should see your wifi info in the original menu:
For more WiFi configuration options see this page HERE
Installing additional Emulators / Ports

On RetroPie 4.0+, not everything is installed by default. The premade images contain the best
working emulators for each system supported by the hardware. This should cover everything most
14/18

users would be doing. Ports like quake and doom and some other emulators like ScummVM can
be installed later.
Software can be installed from the RetroPieSetup script which is accessible from the RetroPie
menu on EmulationStation. Once there you can navigate to "Manage Packages" where you will see
various sections. In each section are lists of packages that can be installed and it will show what is
currently installed. Stable additional packages are under the "Optional" section, with more
unstable packages listed under experimental. The packages are ordered first by type emulators /
libretro cores / ports, then alphabetically. By selecting a package you can choose to install it, or
remove it. Some packages also have additional configurations.
Transferring Roms
Due to the nature/complexity of Copyright/Intellectual Property Rights Law, which differs
significantly from Country to Country, ROMs cannot be provided with RetroPie and must be
provided by the user. You should only have ROMs of games that you own.
There are three main methods of transferring roms:
USB
ensure that your USB is formatted to FAT32 or NTFS
first create a folder called retropie on your USB stick
plug it into the pi and wait for it to finish blinking
pull the USB out and plug it into a computer
add the roms to their respective folders in the retropie/roms folder
plug it back into the raspberry pi
wait for it to finish blinking
refresh emulationstation by choosing restart emulationstation from the start menu
see this video for reference:

SFTP (needs an active internet connection)

Wired needs ethernet cable
Wireless needs wifi dongle There are many SFTP programs out there, for windows many
people use WinSCP for mac you can use something like Cyberduck
16/18
12/10/2016
Default username: pi
Default Password: raspberry
You can also log in as root if you wish to change more files than just the roms, but you first need to
enable the root password which is explained here
Samba-Shares (needs an active internet connection)

if on windows type \\retropie into the computer folder. You can also replace retropie with
your Raspberry Pi's IP address
if on MAC OS X open finder, select "Go" menu and "Connect to Server". Type smb://retropie
and hit "Connect".
PLAY!
17/18
12/10/2016
After you've added your roms you need to restart emulationstation in order for them to show up.
You can restart emulationstation from the start menu, or by rebooting your pi with sudoreboot.
see the rest of the wiki for more detailed information on individual emulators, advanced
settings etc. If you still can't figure it out, the RetroPie community is very helpful on the forum.
The RetroPie Project is primarily maintained by a few developers who develop the project in
their free time. If you have found the RetroPie project useful please consider donating to
the project here. As you become more familiar with RetroPie, pay it forward by helping
others on the forum. The RetroPie Project is what it is today because of the many
contributions of the community.
