Since apacman has been dropped from the AUR the guide in the wiki link seems to be deprecated.
How is it possible to install retropie on an Arch system at this point?

Not to be rude but generally those using arch know their way around Linux enough to sort things out.
Is there a reason you aren't using a Debian based distro?
The wiki guide really was just a hodgepodged method of installing retroarch and emulationstation, not really retropie. Retropie was developed primarily for Debian based systems

I am unsure what you implying here/ what the message is . Do you intent to say that I should know the process of setting up a retro pie system in Arch since I use Arch. And should be well versed in matters concerning Linux so that when issues arise I could handle that myself . Maybe you can clarify your statement.

The benefit is that Arch is an rolling release and the package management in Arch is something prefer.
