You'll have to therefore find the games yourself. While Retropie and the EmulationStation are fantastic pieces of software, bar one or two exceptions, the emulators don't come with games pre-installed. Now reenter EmulationStation by typing "emulationstation" into the prompt (without the quote marks again) and then quit and restart system. Save it using CTRL X and then Y, then press ENTER to confirm. Scroll down to "#disable_overscan=1" delete the hashtag so it just reads "disable_overscan=1". Note there is also a space between "nano" and "/boot". Then enter "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" on your keyboard without the quotation marks. You get there by quitting EmulationStation. There doesn't seem to be a menu option to correct this, but you can simply get rid of the borders by editing a config file in the command prompt. You can also get versions based on the purple Super Famicom design. That's why we've chosen the former - an Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad, which looks exactly like the PAL Super Nintendo pad from yesteryear. There are dedicated USB controllers, even some styled around the original SNES or N64 pads, which go well. You will also need a joypad of some description. Or you can get them online for a little more. HDMI cable - from £1 AKORD HDMI to HDMI CableĪ HDMI cable from the pound shop will do just as well as any other. Third-party versions can be sourced for cheap. However, for the full effect we've added its own, dedicated power unit. If you have a standard mini-USB cable to hand, that will do to power your Pi. Raspberry Pi 3 power supply - from £8 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B It will more than hold the Retropie operating system, plus has plenty of space left over for games. We actually opted for a 64GB microSD card at around £16, but to keep within a rough £50 budget, a 16GB version does the job just as well. MicroSD card (16GB) - from £5 SanDisk Ultra 16 GB MicroSDHC Card If your budget stretches a little further, you can buy a Raspberry Pi case that looks just like a tiny Nintendo Entertainment System. We particularly like the official sloped white and red case, but are equally as enamoured by a simple black case that suits the rest of the kit under our telly. It's up to you how you'd like your finished console to look. There are plenty on the market including some for even less than a fiver. Raspberry Pi 3 case - from £4 Raspberry Pi 3 Case But, for the price, you are best opting for the Pi 3 Model B which has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity built in, like the 4, but is cheaper. There's also the more recent Raspberry Pi 4, of course, which will improve the processing power. You can actually use a Raspberry Pi 2 or even a first generation version, but they are slower in operation and will therefore struggle with some games.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - from £30 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
