        @Cooloring There is no file, you'll have to follow the installation instructions to install it - it's linked from the project page: https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi.

        You didn't specify what game/emulator are you using - as I said, the slowdown may be normal for that with a Pi0.

            I would like to use a Pi2 B

            But the software (https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/retropie-sdcard-image-with-built-in-gpio-controller-support/.) Is only for the Pi Zero.
            So if you want to use the Gpio Pins you have to set that when I download Retropie from the Retropie side. How do I do that best? Could you please change the Gpio Pins on a file for a Pi 2.
            I have no experience with programming

              Probably because their device only supports a Pi zero.

              The PI 0 and Pi3 have compatible GPIO pins, so it might work replacing one with another - but that's up to the device you've got (the Tinkerboy).

              I have no experience with programming

              I'd suggest you ask the image/device author about this issues then, it doesn't look like it's a simple plug-and-play work to replace the Pi 0 with a Pi 3. Or maybe the PI 0 is not powerfull enough to run ALttP good enough and this is how it should work.

                I have now tried a Pi 2 B and it works. I just have to activate the Gpio pins for the controller and audio.
                How do I do this? Because the Tinkerboy file has an additional file for the Gpio Pins. And the audio pins have also been added to the config. Can I simply insert this into the file for the Pi2 and change it in the configs. Wouldn't that work?

                  As I said earlier:

                  ... re-apply the configuration for your hardware - install the RetroGame utility (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame) and modify the config.txt with the sound settings they show on the support page.

                    I do not understand what I have to do on the retrogame adafruit page.
                    I have a link here (https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/retropie-sdcard-image-with-built-in-gpio-controller-support/) and on this website are the pins that I need. And I use the file for the pi2 with the Gpio changes. And I want to know how I do it. I have no idea about programming as mentioned. What would my code look like?

                      And on the page I linked is that you can configure it with this command: /boot/retrogame.cfg.
                      Where do I enter that?

                        @Cooloring That is not a command, it's a configuration file you need to edit (I recommend you use Notepad++ to edit the file) and add the corresponding configuration. Some sample configurations are available at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/tree/master/configs, you just need to match it to the way your devices's controller is wired to the GPIO pins.
