RetroPie

Welcome

Welcome to RetroPie. RetroPie allows you to turn your Raspberry Pi, ODroid C1/C2, or PC into a retro-gaming machine. It builds upon Raspbian, EmulationStation, RetroArch and many other projects to enable you to play your favourite Arcade, home-console, and classic PC games with the minimum set-up. For power users it also provides a large variety of configuration tools to customise the system as you want.

RetroPie sits on top of a full OS, you can install it on an existing Raspbian, or start with the RetroPie image and add additional software later. It's up to you.

While the RetroPie Project originated at petRockBlock.com this is now the home of RetroPie.

Features

EmulationStation

EmulationStation is the frontend for launching all of your games.

RetroArch

RetroArch is a frontend for the Libretro API which standardises controls and adds features for many of the emulators. Many emulators used on RetroPie are due to the hard work of the Libretro team.

Kodi

If you get tired of gaming you can watch your own movies or listen to music with Kodi: your own personal media centre. It can be installed from the experimental menu of the RetroPie Setup Script.

Themes

Choose from a variety of user created themes for EmulationStation from the built in theme installer.

Modular

The RetroPie SD image is built on top of Raspbian but RetroPie can be installed on any Debian based linux distribution.

Over 50 Systems

RetroPie has the most supported systems out of any retrogaming software for the Raspberry Pi.
