        You want us to recommend you a scammer ?
        See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        Make sure you are using an official image, or have done a manual install yourself. We will not support 3rd party images.

        We don't support scammers here in the forum.

          @Dramaqueen126 Any retro system with thousands of games is with almost certainty a scam, since no company can afford to license that many games from the copyright holders.

          There's a reason modern official "Mini" remakes of classic consoles only have 20-50 games on them, and those are produced by the original manufacturers who hold many of the games' licences themselves.

          Apart from that, RetroPie's license prohibits commercial use aka selling, so anyone selling hardware bundled with RetroPie breaks that license.

            Making a retro console yourself is fun! Since you're going to customize this anyway you can do things right the first time instead of reverse engineering the thing. Get exactly what you want instead of trying to find someone selling something close to what you want.
