Retropie with all emulators and games

Radioaktive

Hi Guys, I've just bought all the bits and pieces to setup retropie on my raspberry pi3, problem is I plan to get this working for my son for Christmas and I'm wondering if there is an image with all the emulators and games already loaded on so I can just copy to my sd card.

Hope someone can helps

Thanks

Pete

From my experience, that won't work, he want a ps4 with call of duty, don't ask me why...
Joke apart, providing roms is illegal.

Hello, what the guys in the forum are really saying is , you have to get your fingers dirty and Google what your looking for... Google is your friend....

@ferdnand no. That's not what we are saying.

@Radioaktive In the strictest sense, distributing a ROM is illegal, so the RetroPie community cannot distribute an image with the ROMs preloaded. In practice, most ROMs are effectively abandonware and are easy to find online. Many sites have full collections of every ROM for a given system.

However, it is important to not cultivate any perception that RetroPie is used for anything illegal because we don't want this project being shut down (even though emulators and ROMs have been around for ages without being shut down).

You won't find anyone here who will link to ROMs themselves, or a SD image with the ROMs preloaded. However, I wouldn't be shocked if a preloaded image existed somewhere out there. And frankly it isn't that hard to copy the ROMs over.

For whatever city you live in, there is probably a LUG (Linux User Group) where someone locally is probably willing to help set up the Pi for your son for Christmas. For example, here is my local LUG.
