Not really necessary, but you can install colored heatsinks for the two integrated circuits to help dissipate heat and add visual bling to a see-through enclosure. Get the correct enclosure for the proper Pi 2 model. Many enclosure styles are available, so pick what you like best. The latest model as of the time of this writing. While RetroPie is free, you need the hardware. Shown is a blue heatsink for one of the integrated circuits.
The essentials: Raspberry Pi 2, power supply, 128G MicroSD card, and a USB audio adapter. Half of the fun of this project is building and configuring it. Does hearing this excite your imagination? Then, keep reading. If you are nothing more than an end user who merely wants to play games and who grumbles upon hearing this, then forget it.

There is a plethora of settings and tweaks to make, and, for me, I had to use trial and error in order to discover how to adjust the lesser-documented settings. I spent a good ten hours over the course of a few days fine-tuning RetroPie to the way I wanted it to behave…and there was still room for improvement! It requires time due to the tweaking and file transfers. Allow yourself yourself three to four hours to set up RetroPie from start to finish for a basic installation. Part 1 – RetroPie Setup Give Yourself Time

Missing those older systems that are no longer available? With RetroPie, you can play games rendered in high-definition crispness and detail and control them using USB or Bluetooth wireless controllers, such as the Dual Shock 4. RetroPie is software that turns your Raspberry Pi into a multi-console-arcade emulation system that allows you to play games and homemade software. Input_player1_joypad_index = "0" -> input_player1_joypad_index = "1"ĮDIT: I just tried out my usb controllers in a co-op setting with two players and this solution worked for me.Craving video game nostalgia? Curious to experiment with homemade creations? Have a Raspberry Pi? That's the section laying out the configuration for player 1, copy all that text and change all player1 to player2 and I think you have to increment the top most line. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll find a a section like this: input_player1_joypad_index = "0" Open up the file explorer and go to the directory /opt/retropie/configs/all/ and open retroarch.cfg in your file editor. Part 2 (not sure if this works yet I'm in the middle of testing it)įrom the command line type startx and boot into the gui. retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 > /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgįollow the instructions in the command line and it should get your controller up and running in emulation station and in your games. sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgĬd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin Then type these commands in order pressing "enter" between each command. First thing you'll need to do after you boot into emulation station is press "f4" to get into your command line.
