        MAC-addresses are always related to hardware.
        "Retropie" is a software and has no MAC-address.

        You should give detailed information for better support, as requested here:

            Use the Show IP entry in the RetroPie system and it will show you the available network adapters, with their MAC:

            ...
            3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
