Unity/Monogame Project on Retropie

Hi everyone !

I'm new on Retropie and I'm asking a great question. Is it possible to create game with Unity or Monogame and playing it on Retropie ? If yes, how ?

Thanks a lot for your answers :)

@FrenchAssassinX RetroPie is not an operating system in itself - as long as your game runs on the systems where RetroPie runs (Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu on PC or other ARM SBC like Odroid, TinkerBoard), then it would work also from RetroPie.

@mitu Thanks for our answer ! I understand, but how can I do that ? If I've understand, Retropie need .iso game. The game creates with Unity or Monogame are .exe.

You mean how to create a game ? You'll need to learn how to develop a game, how to program, familiarize yourself with the frameworks (Unity/Monogame and many others), etc.

If I've understand, Retropie need .iso game.

No, that's not necessary. For the console systems where games are distributed as CD-ROM/DVD, the .iso format is the most common way for the games to be preserved and for the emulators to run the game.

The game creates with Unity or Monogame are .exe.

.exe sounds like a Windows specific program, which will not run under Linux. You'll need to target your game to run on a Linux system - but that's part of learning how to use the frameworks that build the game (Unity/Monogame).

@mitu Ok I understand. I'm a Windows user so yes my games are basically in .exe. What's the default format like ".exe" on Linux ?

@FrenchAssassinX On Linux, on Unices, the extension is not important, but the executable bit of a file, there is no extension.

@mitu alright thanks a lot for your answers :)
