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.
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 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.
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!!
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 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.
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!
This video made it easy to set up my game system. My dad wanted a way to play his childhood games and I put this together with things I had lying around. I was completely unable to set up ssh and had to resort to loading it via USB drive.
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.
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.
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.
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*
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.
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!!!
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!
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 😂
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
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.
happy new years eve, dec 31 2024. Got me a Pi5 today. (its my bday ;P ) I was wondering tho, at 5:35 in, the "Autostart" at boot for retropie, if I leave that off, does that mean i can use the rasberry Os as well? If so, does that Os soak up some of the resources or anything/take away from retropie? Just curious, as im making a portable cyberdeck gaming thingy kind of deal, and the more features I can combine, the better, even if just for listening to audiobooks, reading books, wiki stuff etc (Rather than swapping out mem cards for different things, Ie, 1 for retro pi, one for kali, one for sdr/gps, maps and survival info etc etc... if that makes any sense.)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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).
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.
Been trying to reach to ask questions on this and your classes through social and website and no luck. How does Simeon get to ask questions besides here? Thanks
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 :)
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
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.
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+

Turned some Raspberry Pi's into a signage display with PiSignage. Pretty nifty stuff these little Pi devices.
My favourite use of Retropie was getting Pico8 Splore running on it (and makecode arcade games).
Absolutely was not kidding about the length of time it takes for the RetroPie install, good lord.
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.

Hello NetworkChuck!!!
Love playing old games on my pi 5 through component input on my CRT. 240p no lag!
How please. I really struggle with this
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.
It’s nice to do this if you have a spare pi hanging about but you can get way more performance from mini pc’s these days and little uplift in price
Or even cheaper on a mini pc
Thank you guys! Funny and to the point!
happy new years eve, dec 31 2024. Got me a Pi5 today. (its my bday ;P )
I was wondering tho, at 5:35 in, the "Autostart" at boot for retropie, if I leave that off, does that mean i can use the rasberry Os as well?
If so, does that Os soak up some of the resources or anything/take away from retropie?
Just curious, as im making a portable cyberdeck gaming thingy kind of deal, and the more features I can combine, the better, even if just for listening to audiobooks, reading books, wiki stuff etc

to use CRT as monitor using composite, do you need to change any display settings in RetroPie?

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
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.
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.
Where can you get full loaded images from?
Shout out for Alex. Great way to balance the amount of beard and coffee.
wait a second, how did you get the pi 5 working on a CRT? it no longer has composite
Welcome back to the land of pi
Retropie, installed in the van for a roadtrip... kids busy for hours.
Hey @NetworkChuck do you got a 3D printer video with a rpi?
"Boom! Achievement unlocked and you can pretend like your life has meaning". OOF that hit hard
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+
Can we use these same steps for tv or any change would come ?
Hello NetworkChuck! Do you think you could make a video about Domain Controllers and that sort of thing? Thanks
Amazing video
What did you click between 06:42 and 06:52 to get to the "Configuring Keyboard" Screen when no Gamepad is connected?
You could also use Recallbox, which is more up to date. Or Lakka, built right into RetroArch.
26:14 does Netplay work on other ES OS' such as Lakka?
My man 🔥🔥🔥
