I'll take the private jet and run with my 3 bill whoop follow in the bat mobile we off to the dam .Ah I see you have your image but your cannot get the additional emulators from the retropie menus. Can you move your pi closer to your wireless? Is it a pizero or pi3

Legitimate question... how can you download a 2gb image from the internet no problem, but you have problems downloading 12mb emulator cores? Is it that you hare having trouble with WIFI on your pi? If so, just hook it up next to your router and plug it in with a cat5 cable.

@twd it is pi 3 but wi fi ia too slow.The internet provider is new and now it is testing its hardware and I have no idea how long it will take

You can download them all, install all, and then make a backup for future usage? I know it doesn't solve the initial install, but hopefully can make it easier for future uses?

@pjft I think yes but full version of the retropie with all emulators I think must be in download section

@n-a-r-e-k-96 Well, there are several reasons for that not to be the case.

The main ones being that several emulators don't really have proper performance on the Pi, and/or that don't really work very well, or that are for systems that aren't that popular. Most people can install the emulators via RetroPie-Setup. These days most of the time when downloading software from the internet you download an installer, and after specifying your options it downloads the rest.

It saves bandwidth and storage for everyone.

Not to mention the hassle and wasted time spent rebuilding the complete image every time any of the emulators or tools gets an updated binary.
