Of course, as these are optional packages, they are likely to change quite often as the software updates. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to find any kind of exhaustive list of which emulator emulates which system so I thought I would have a go myself – making a note of which systems are covered in the ‘optional packages,’ and which packages I decided to download onto my own Pi (these are denoted by the tick symbols on the list!). The ‘optional’ and ‘experimental’ packages are available through the Retro Pie set-up, and I’ve discovered a wealth of different emulators to try out as a result. The ‘Retro Pie’ which is easily downloadable to the Pi is a great piece of software which sets you up automatically with many of the main consoles you know and love from your childhood – The Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sega Megadrive etc.īut if you delve a little deeper into the opportunities of the software, there are a myriad of other different console emulators available which can broaden your retro experience immeasurably, and also teach you a bit about different ‘historical’ systems along the way. I’ve found some YouTube tutorials really useful in this, and although I don’t have a great deal of knowledge about computers, and even less about the Pi, I’ve found it relatively easy to pick up the basics thanks to the kindness of these YouTubers! I’ve recently been trying to teach myself how to put together a ‘Raspberry Pi’ kit computer, with the hope of creating an ‘all in one’ easy to use retro gaming console.
