You will see there are a ton of files in here, but megadownloader makes it easy. This image does not contain games or “ rom”/game files, we will address that and how to get them a bit further down in the guide.ĭownload the hyperpie image via torrent file or MEGA.Ĭlick the link, then on the adfly page wait 5 sec and click the Skip Ad button in the top right when it comes up. In this example we are going to use the newly released .Roms image from ArcadePunks Image Downloads. We will start with hyperpie (you can do any image from their page you want to try) which is the image file we will flash on our Raspberry Pi that will give us all the frontend interface for systems, game preview videos, etc. Once you open it, get a link to download utilizing it. Megadownloader will allow you to simply past in a link of the download you want and it will pull all the files down for you in one fail swoop. Download megadownloader as it will make life easy. Let’s get the image (flashy system that looks like hyperspin) and games or “rom” files.įirst thing first. How to get HyperPie or any other image file Emulator – software that makes the pi think it is a console system like Genesis, N64, etc.Attract Mode – Flashy frontend (will look like HyperSpin in our example).EmulationStation – Less flashy front end that works.Frontend – The software that displays systems, games, etc.img – A preconfigured version of retropie that you can flash on your pi and not have to manually setup things (someone else has already done that for you) Here is a 64gb micorsd I have tested you may want to get a 128gb especially if you do not want use a usb drive for games This kit below has the pi and power supply. You can either get a 128 to 200 gb microsd to store everything or you could get a 64gb microsd card and we will show you how to run games from a usb drive. Note: My rom folder is around 100gb and the hyperpie image will take up a 64gb card without roms. (more about all this later in the guide). The Raspberry Pi costs around $35, you will need the $7 power supply, and a 64GB microsd card or larger to run the system.

You don’t need to know how to program, just follow this guide.
