Go into the bios folder and just paste disksys.rom right there.
Connect an ethernet cable to your Raspberry Pie and you should see it in the Network section on your Windows PC as "RETROPIE". This bios is in all caps though, and you'll need to rename 'DISKSYS.ROM' to 'disksys.rom'. You can find it on some site called Emuparadise, google it (but make sure you have some kind of adblocker in your browser!).
Note that Reys image contains a few bugs, but the above video explains how to fix them except this one: the missing the Famicom Disk System bios.
Stick the SD card in your Raspberry Pi and you're good to go! (to delete or add games, see '3 - All your games', below) Make sure that underneath 'device' it sees your SD card (if your SD card is assigned drive letter 'F' for example, it should say 'F' here.)ĭon't change anything else and just click 'Write''. Open Win32 Disk Imager, click on the folder and browse to this image. img file.įormat your card with SD Card Formatter to ensure it has enough space. Unpack the downloaded files with 7zip and that will spit out a 119GB or so.
Note that it can take a really long time download. if you have a torrent client installed, it should automatically open in that client. There's a magnet link underneath the description of the video, just copy-paste it into your browser and press enter. The above video should explain everything you need to do. I bought the Sandisk one and it works perfectly. The video links to the following cards which are guaranteed and tested to work: This image doesn't work with every 128GB SD card out there. The two most famous pre-built images are Reys 128GB image and Nachos 64GB image.The downside is that you're stuck with whatever Rey and Nachos put on there, unless you're willing to go in and perform some of the same tasks you'd do when building your own basic image.Yes, you can delete and add roms to both pre-built images but that also means fetching the metadata for those new roms yourself.
2) Download a pre-built image, which includes roms and everything is already set up for you with a fancy look. There are two options: 1)install a basic image, set it all up yourself and add all the roms yourself. Then you need to put an operating system and some (legally owned ) games on there. You can get complete Raspberry Pi starter kits (including case and power supply) from either Amazon or the Pi Hut.
