      I have made a couple of posts about this before, but I'm going to try and fix my Raspberry Pi within the next month or so with a fresh install of the Retropie operating system. For some reason, a lot of the videos on Youtube don't show locating the bios files for the consoles. Does the Retropie system come with the bios in it by default now? Also, to anyone who have setup Retropies before, what is the best video tutorial for setting up a Retropie?

        @glovewithsauce i never watched videos but read the docs here.
        Highly recommended ;D
        BIOS: no, there are some BIOS files contained in the base image, but not all (copyright issues).
        So you have to collect some on your own, depending on which systems you want to emulate but however: no problem to fetch them ;D

          @sirhenrythe5th Thanks! Can you reccomend a place to find the bios? I remember when I tried to setup a Retropie by myself, I couldn't find anyone with the bios files, but I could find games.

            @glovewithsauce i'm sorry, but asking for/providing links to to BIOS files is against the forum rules
