A shell-based setup script that installs and configures RetroArch, emulator cores, and the EmulationStation front end on Raspberry Pi, ODroid, Vero4K, or Ubuntu PCs. It turns supported hardware into a ready-to-use retro gaming system, with pre-made bootable images also available.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a retro game console
- install retroarch and emulator cores on odroid
- set up emulationstation front end on ubuntu pc
- build a retrogaming machine from scratch
- install retro game emulators from binaries or source
- create a ready-to-go retropie sd card image
When to choose
- you want a complete retro gaming setup on a Raspberry Pi, ODroid, or Ubuntu PC
- you prefer a script that installs and manages many emulators from one place
- you want EmulationStation as a graphical game launcher
When to avoid
- you need emulators on Windows or macOS
- you want a modern gaming platform rather than retro console emulation
- you cannot run shell scripts with root access on your device
