          @Buzz I am running raspian and did watching a ETA prime video on youtube.

          Using the commands sudo git clone--depth=1 https://github.com/Retropie/RetroPie-Setup

          cd retroPie-Setup

          sudo nano retropie_packages.sh

          Add this line _platform=rp3

          sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

            @Birdrat that's not correct information I'm afraid. You should download an image from our site and use that.

              @BuZz is that the same as running retropi on raspian or is that a boot direct into the retropi image?

              I was hoping to have the option to run raspbian and retropi.

              Can you please send the instructions link for correct image and install?

                @Birdrat it's raspbian yes (without desktop but that can be installed). Image and a link to the instructions are on the download page. Or click docs on the forum.

                  @BuZz, It appeared to have worked after a uninstall of my previous set up and following your link for the manual install.

                  Cheers. Would you recommend any settings that I should change for a raspberry pi 4 for a better experience?
