On Ubuntu mate I open a browser to login to internet
The website is through links's
How would I login in Retro Pie
I would like to use wifi instead of Ethernet with ssh
I can't get internet and have pi connected to moniter

Here's the page for configuring WiFi on the Pi - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wifi/. You can also look in the official Raspbian documentation - https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/README.md.

If you have SSH access, then use raspi-config directly (sudo raspi-config) to configure the WiFi.

I used sudo raspi-config I entered wifi name and password I type into linksys in a browser
I unplugged pi from Ethernet and tried to login to it and couldn't

Can you check if you have an IP address in RetroPie, after you unplug the cable ? There's an IP address menu in RetroPie, which you can open and it will show you the current network address.

How do i access this do i need to connect it to the moniter or can i see it from ssh with ethernet cable

If you run from the command line:

iwconfig

then it shoul show you if you the WiFi is successfully connected.

How are you connecting to the Pi via SSH ? Are you using an IP address or the hostname (retropie) ?

I am using the IP address on port 22
I am using a different wifi for the laptop with ssh
I am using faster internet that has no password but requires guest password through browser
I have successfully connected internet to pi4 without use of browser with terminal and wifi config file in retro pie I can't access files
I don't know if I can use host name so I use pi instead

Make sure you're using the right (WiFi) address when trying to connect to the IP. You can't use the same IP as the ethernet/wired connection.

I don't know if I can use host name so I use pi instead

The hostname is not Pi - it's retropie.

Hostname works but only with Ethernet
Tried without Ethernet just continues trying to connect
I usedhostname retropie
