      The 8bitdo controller is a bit of a bargain. Do you know any other bluetooth controllers for cheaper? Also how do I pair it with the pi?

        It's explained in the docs - through the setup script.

              For the pairing, it says that you can select the mac address from the list but how do I find it?

                @omission229 Usually the name of the device is displayed, so it will be enough to select it.
                I suggest you first get your Pi and then follow https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ to install it. If you have questions then and you can't find the answer in the docs, then come ask in the forums.

                    Another thing, how much gb of ram will I really need for retropie? 2gb model or 4 gb model? Keep in mind most of the time i will be playing dreamcast and psp the 3d stuff.

                      @omission229 2 GB. I don't think you'll ever use more than one.

                          I've read that Dolphin Emulator needs 2gb of ram. So does it still work fine if it is max or does it always need a little extra space?

                            @omission229 You will not play Dolphin on the Raspberry Pi.

                                Thank you, by any chance do you know a different bluetooth controller that's cheaper than this?
