In this post, we will cover the process of how to install Retropie on Ubuntu PC, configure it and how to load games. Retropie is still maintained project and in the Retropie docs, it’s specified that Retropie will work Ubuntu versions from version 18.04 and later. The best part is – RetroPie is open source and free to use. You can also install it on a Raspberry and make yourself an arcade/console machine.
It’s a powerful emulator which supports many popular consoles(Atari, SNES, NES, Nintendo 64, GBA, Game Boy Color, PS1, PS2, Xbox etc…) and not only you can install it on your Debian/Ubuntu PC. So, if you fall in that category – a Linux user who still enjoys console classics, try – RetroPie. But most of the emulators are for a single console only and not many support GNU/Linux. Lucky for us, we are able to enjoy our old favorites even this day even if we don’t have the game console for it or the game is not supported by the system anymore. We still have our favorite childhood games we love to come back to.
