One other thing which I have noticed is that if you use 3.5 mm jack for audio output there will be always static noise which is very annoying, in order to fix it type this:Īnd add this text to the end of the file: You also can apply Theme and SplashScreen to the system, that is easily done. This will open share from system, which you can use to upload the ROMS and BIOS files.You need to get “gba_bios.bin” and upload it to the BIOS folder, for legal reason it does not come with the system, nor I can provide it, but Google will help you. For starters you can check if you can access system from your computer, open your File Manager/Windows Explorer and type \192.168.0.112 < which is IP address you have used before. You now have running system, but there are more things and tweaks which can be done. It will cause system to reboot and you will see that screen is now fixed:

Click CTRL+X, then Y and Enter to save file. Please note that this applies to screens which are same as mine, you might have different resolution, if yes, then change 800 480 to yours.

It will open file from SD card, scroll to the very bottom of that file and paste this text: Now type this text, sudo nano /boot/config.txt Now download Putty on your system and launch it, enter IP address from previous step:Ĭlick “Open” to connect, you will see warning, click “Yes”. Close WIFI configuration window by clicking arrow to the right and hitting Enter. You will be asked to enter password for WIFI ofcourse, once that is done and if it is correct you will see ESSID and IP address you have received. After you click it will list WIFI network which it finds, it located mine low speed WIFI, but not 5GHz, mostly dongle is a bit outdated. Please note that selection is now being done with “Enter” key.

Then use the arrow keys to locate “RetroPie” entry, it is used to configure whole system, after you find it click A, then use arrow keys to navigate “Configure WIFI”Ĭlick A while you have “Configure WIFI” marked, then select first option in the new window, which is called “Connect to WIFI network”. Let it load and reboot once/twice to fix few things up and automatically re-size your SD card to the maximum size.Īfter it is done booting click and hold any key on your keyboard to start “Input Configuration”, we need only arrows keys, select, start and A B X Y, you can click and hold any key on other’s to skip. That is completely normal, as RetroPie does not know what kind of screen you have. Then simply plug all in, SD to Raspberry PI 2, screen, keyboard dongle, wireless dongle.ĭuring first boot you mostly will notice that part of the screen or just a side of it is messed up, example is bellow:

Unzip content of the archive and use Win32 Disk Imager to write content of the image to the SD card. Then download standard version of RetroPie for Raspberry Pi 2.

So get it, install it, and use it to format your Micro SD card with default settings. Thing which you should do at the start is to get SDFormater, yea… it might look weird, but for some reason Windows 7/8/10 formats SD in kinda weird way.

I thought it was kinda interesting so I have started building one.
