Take note of your IP address, it is the string of numbers following the line “ inet addr“. We have some other things to take care of, so press F4 to exit EmulationStation. Once your are done with that, you will be presented with the EmulationStation menu. We will come back later and configure it with the controller, but for now, that is not important. Once the Raspberry Pi boots up, it should jump right into EmulationStation and have you map out the controls (keep in mind this does not map controls for the emulators, only the EmulationStation menu) – Just follow through the prompts here. Now power on your Raspberry Pi by plugging it into your Micro USB Power Supply. Now you want to plug your Raspberry Pi into a screen via HDMI, plug in the ethernet cable, and plug in your USB Keyboard. Once you have that image downloaded, you can use Win32 Disk Imager (as detailed in the next section) to mount the image to the card, and then slap it right into your Raspberry Pi.īy doing this, you bypass the (very) long wait to download and compile the emulators, however, the image may not contain the most up-to-date version of the emulators. Also, don’t forget there is a donate button there if you feel like sparing some change for the creators of this awesome package. To save a lot of time on the installation of RetroPie, you can actually just head over to the RetroPie Download Site, and grab the “RetroPie Project SD Card Image” – Then unzip that file to a location on your primary computer. _ NOW WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR RASPBERRY PI 2 B+ If you are using a Raspberry Pi A, B, B+ Start here:
