If you are quite happy to play using a USB keyboard than the process of setting up a retro arcade system using your Raspberry Pi is even easier. However if you want to go the whole hog and use joysticks and arcade buttons than the process will require a little wiring and woodwork crafting skills.
Check out the video below to learn how easy it is to create your very own retro arcade system using the Raspberry Pi mini PC and a RetroPie download.
“While making this video, I actually found that the software that I use, RetroPie, has been updated and SIGNIFICANTLY improved! It’s fantastic !! Kudos to those guys for making a really stellar package that is free for anyone to use!!! Since I made my original version, the controller board, IPAC2, has also been updated. The newer version has some new options, and looks pretty great, although I have no real reason to replace mine.”
