#Retropie amiga emulator install

The other reason is that I wanted to install an Amiga emulator and Frotz so I could play Infocom text adventures. You don't need one, but I found myself popping into a terminal to make tweaks, and a keyboard made it much easier. Having a keyboard and mouse connected while you're working with RetroPie is a good idea.

These controllers work well with RetroPie.

#Retropie amiga emulator upgrade

My next upgrade is an 8Bitdo Bluetooth controller to capture the retro experience, but with the convenience of Bluetooth. I love the feel of it and it's great value for money. I have an old F310 Gamepad from Logitech, which is a wired controller using USB and just works really well out of the box with RetroPie. There are also plenty of 3D models available if you'd like to build your own. I think for my next build I would go with something more inline with retro gaming, along the lines of an NES Case, which has a more old-school console look and feel, but still comes with cooling and all the cables. I am using an inexpensive case by Smraza, which isn't very retro looking, but it came with a fan and all the cables I need to get started. CasesДЄ case is a better option than having an open circuit board with wires sticking out everywhere, which is the current state of my desk. As of today, I have only used 11GB of space, so the size is dependent on how many games you have. I used a Samsung 128GB flash drive, which turned out to be slightly more expensive than the Raspberry Pi but it has enough capacity to hold all my games, so I think it was worth it. I used a card that doesn't stick out too far from the USB port so it's reasonably flush with the Pi. The ROMs will take up the most space and, rather than have them on the microSD card, you can store them on a USB flash drive, and RetroPie can copy all the configuration files and directories onto the card so all you have to do is add your games to the folders.

#Retropie amiga emulator software

You aren't limited to using a Raspberry Pi the software will run on other hardware, such as the Odroid-C1/C2, or you can use an old PC or laptop. When I first installed RetroPie and plugged in my flash drive, I was able to start playing games almost straight away, which I will admit did delay the rest of the build as I got caught up in a game of Battle Pinball. It's also stable and actively maintained, with updates and fixes released regularly. I have been able to run it out of the box with very little tweaking. RetroPie is based off of Raspbian and wraps all the emulators into a nice tidy bundle. The RetroPie distribution is the tool of choice for your Raspberry Pi gaming system. As well as a card, having an adapter so you can plug it into your computer is handy this is how we 'flash' the operating system on to the card. There's a lot of choices for cards, there's plenty of good articles with good comparisons of the different cards. Having a larger card is handy, but if you're doing it on a budget, you can go with a 16GB card and have plenty of space. We will store our ROMs on the flash drive. I am using a 16GB card, but the install will be fine using 8GB.

The Raspberry Pi doesn't have a hard drive, so you need to be able to install an operating system.
