We feel its probably not that simple. Download at your own risk. Most game ROMs are still under copyright, and most game studios are still enforcing these rights. Downloading RetroPie ROMs of these games without legal permission is most definitely a crime and most definitely punishable.
And this may or may not be true. You are allowed to make backup copies of your material. But I suspect that the lawyers would argue in court that since you can and do use both simultaneously it is not a backup.
One lawyer wrote that they simply bought a Pac-Man cartridge and put inside their RetroPie arcade cabinet not connected to anything, installed the game from a torrent, and then screwed it shut. No one knows if that would hold up in court, but it did clear his conscious! Again, its all a legal grey area.
Homebrew ROMs are a relatively new thing. Small teams or one man shows are developing games for retro computers. In the case of homebrew ROMs, you buy them direct from the developer. You can get a full kit from us here or better yet check out our new Bartop Arcade Deluxe! Now lets put the microsd card in the RPI3 and boot it up. The system will boot and automatically re-size the hard drive partition to use all of your microsd card.
After an automatic reboot if you connected your controls it will ask you to configure your game pad. Hold down a button on your game pad and go through the prompts.
There will probably more options than you care to map to your controls. Just hold down a button and it will skip that input.
Note: You have only mapped controls to navigate emulationstation. We will map the controls for the emulators at a later step. Go ahead and plug in a usb keyboard so you can type in your wifi password after selecting your network. You should connect as with any other device. Make sure and write down your ip address. Press Escape on your keyboard and you will go back to EmulationStation.
Option 1 should already be done, but using your keyboard you can press enter to ensure you are using all of your microsd car space.
Next go to option 9 or Advanced Options. Under A3 press enter and put in the memory split and press OK. Next enable SSH under option A4. SSH will simply allow us to access the pi to put our games on and modify our controls for the emulators.
After enabling SSH pres escape and go back to your emulationstation interface. In short we are simply pasting some text to the end of a file and saving it. Download the free program called putty so we can access the file. Open putty, type in your ip address of the RPI3 and port 22 then connect. Now we are going to configure all the emulators in our RetroPie Setup to work with our controls because as yet we have only configured them for the frontend emulationstation and we are going to change that too now that we have 2 players recognized.
Type in your RPI3 ip address you wrote down earlier with the username pi and password raspberry and port Once you enter the information above to connect, this will open a folder directory where you can navigate to add roms and configure controls.

Just choose a game and click Download to download the corresponding ROM. These websites host thousands of ROMs each. You will inevitably find your happiness. Torrent is a very bright protocol, convenient, but unfortunately known for the wrong reasons. If you are planning to collect a package of ROMs, especially the new ones, keep in mind that you will need a lot of space. The problem is that by default Retropie when installed as a distribution , creates a partition with the size it needs, regardless of the size of your SD card.
Therefore, it will be necessary to extend the partition to the maximum capacity, by following these steps :. If you have any issue in the process, check my tutorial on how to format and mount a USB drive here.
