Recently I heard about an OS called Retro-Pi, which is an OS for playing retro games. At first, I thought that it would come pre-installed with some games like PacMan, discovered, unfortunately, it does not come with pre-installed games. But you can download ROM files online and upload them to the SD card, which the raspberry pi will detect, and you can play the game. One of the things which intrigued me was the fact that it had controller support. I recently purchased an Xbox 360 controller receiver, which makes it so you can play with a controller on most devices. I was a bit skeptical about controller support, because before when I had tried to use it on other devices that claimed to have controller support, I had to go through some loopholes to get it partly working. So I used the Raspberry Pi official etcher and started etching. After a bit of waiting, Once finished, I inserted the SD card into the raspberry pi and booted the Pi. It had detected what type of controller I was using and started running through the calibration and setup. After I had completed the controller’s setup, it opened the game emulator, which had several empty folders. I can’t wait to install some games and try them out. This project was done on a Raspberry Pi 400. Tutorial of setup Here
Here are some pictures of the Retro-Pi main home page:
