In this post, we are going to introduce only the Raspberry Pi tutorial, as one of the most popular devices to build a gaming machine on. It consists of the EmulationStation’s interface with themes for emulators, Kodi media-player, RetroArch (frontend for the Libretro API which helps many of emulators work) and more than 50 systems pre-installed by default.
The main feature of Retropie is that it includes almost all the previous experience of console gaming emulation.

Besides RPi Zero/1 and Raspberry Pi 2/3, there are also distributions for Odroid-C1/C2 and Odroid-XU3/XU4 (both on Ubuntu), as well as additional versions for PC devices running Debian/Ubuntu operating systems. And now it has grown up to a big and popular open source project, offering extended features application for ARM-based devices. In fact, it comes from the Raspberry Pi version of the EmulationStation application (former front-end for RetroArch emulators). Retropie is the most popular emulator for Raspberry Pi.
Retropie features a user-friendly interface and can run both on top of an existing operating system (for example Raspbian) and boot as an operating system from a speсial pre-made SD card image. Retropie is a great application for retro gaming on Raspberry Pi, Odroid and PC devices, working on open source operating systems, including Ubuntu and Debian.
