Great video. Btw, a little background story - the timing for national video day may have been somewhat accidental. The raspberry pi foundation asked me to provide a config for our images some weeks back, and although I had done it, I needed to fix up the thumbnail image size we provided. I was a bit slack and only got around to it the day before the announcement which just happened to coincide with the national video games day :-) I actually wasn't aware of it at all until I read the Raspberry Pi foundation's tweet.

Finally! No 25 minute long video with loads of unnecessary information. Just simple and clear! Liked and subscribed! I never commented before, but i had to. Thanks :)

Lifesaver.
I updated my pie 3 and after the update lost everything.
Was considering buying a new card fully loaded with games..then I found your video.
And luckily I still had all my roms saved.
Thank you for your easy..straight to the point tutorial.
Usually stuff like this is baffling and more complicated than it needs to be.

This video is two years old now, but the process is almost exactly the same. I followed these instructions, and everything is up and running. Thanks so much. This was my first Raspbery Pi project.

Im so happy this guide is here, I always get back here when Im doing the Retropie install

I JUST bought my first RPi. I got the RPi 3 model B. Just to emulate NES, SNES and Sega Genesis. So this is EXACTLY what I needed. Easy walk through and process. Thank you!!

i tried 16 other videos and none of them were as easy as this!

Best tutorial I've watched so far. Very simple and very detailed. Great job!

Dec 2023 still relevant and makes it super easy. Thanks for the down to the point tutorial.

as a married man and 3 kids, i was really in fear of not knowing what the hell to do, thankfully i gave in and purchased my first pi3 premade (quite costly) but then i started tinkering away knowing how to program it, building it, overclocking it safely etc..and now that i gained more knowledge as time went on, i am now ready for pi4. this method saves a ton of time for me and this time its all me, which means its no where near costly. happy gaming yall!

Thanks for the vid - very clear instructions!
Anyone else run into a very strange issue where you can configure player 1's controller, but when you configure player 2's controller, somehow it messes up the player 1 binds?

Bro, You saved me. I almost gave up on building my arcade. I couldn't download retropie or anything. Until I saw this video. Thanx man.

[mariamcvoy]

How easy is that, thank you for the video and making it easy to follow

[drstallings_]

This makes this process a million times faster!

[martinmayrhofer]

This is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen. Nice Job! I only have one question. Where do you get the ROM files, because I also wanna try to play with my raspberry pi. Can you give me some good examples?

[Drummernows]

I already saw this video 10 times and everytime helped me! Thanks so much!

[gaborgerhardt]

Super clear, and straightforward explanation! Thank you very much!

[glennhoward]

[bairfreedom]

WOW! I made a retropie box several years ago and it was WAAAAY more involved than this. Lol

[edwinbarreto]

Absolutely brilliant and practical in a very short time! Thank you
