HOW TO INSTALL RETROPIE 4.1 PASSWORD
Go ahead and plug in a usb keyboard so you can type in your wifi password after selecting your network. Let’s get the system on our Wifi first by going into the RetroPie setup menu and “configure wifi”.
We will map the controls for the emulators at a later step. Note: You have only mapped controls to navigate emulationstation. Once you complete press whatever button you designated as “A” on the OK and you will go into EmulationStation. The “A” and “B” are important as they go forward and back in EmulationStation. Just hold down a button and it will skip that input. There will probably more options than you care to map to your controls. Hold down a button on your game pad and go through the prompts. After an automatic reboot if you connected your controls it will ask you to configure your game pad. The system will boot and automatically re-size the hard drive partition to use all of your microsd card.

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. Make sure your arcade controls are plugged into your RPI3 RetroPie setup. It will put the stock retropie image on the microsd and say write completed. Simply open the program, select the location of your extracted image (.img file), the drive letter for your microsd card and press “write”.

We will use the free Win32 Disk Imager application to flash the image on our microsd card. We use winrar, but windows should do it as well. We need to extract the image file on our computer. Insert the microsd into your computer and it will show up as a drive like any other flash media. You can pick up a microsd usb card read/write cheap on Amazon if you do not have one for your computer.
We are going to use a 32gb microsd because we plan to add some of the newer system emulators more specifically Daphane for Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. Let’s flash the RetroPie setup image on our MicroSd card. The Berryboot version will allow you to boot multiple operating systems if you want to use your pi for more than just the arcade. The standard version will boot directly into EmulationStation for your arcade which we will select. Let’s start by getting the RPI3 image from the Retropie website. So you can skip this entire guide except for flashing our image as it is plug and play with our control kits!!! (Sorry again, but huge advantage if you need controls or a cabinet). We offer a free GRS RetroPie Image if you purchase our bartop arcade deluxe machine or our control kits for your cabinet. Here is an example of one of our Bartop Arcade Deluxe DIY Machines running RetroPie SSH – Secure Shell just a way for you to access your RPI3 with a computer to change settings or add games for example.Image – A copy of a retropie installation that you can put on your microsd card so you do not have to manually configure many options on your own.
