Whether you're just getting into the retro scene or have been at it for a while, RetroPie is the perfect platform to dive into old school gaming, and the Raspberry Pi is the perfect PC for the job.

In this video we'll go right from the start, installing and setting up the system, then transferring games onto it. We'll explore many of the configuration options available to us. Look at backups and updates, as well as overcoming technical issues.

We'll also personalise the platform by customising it along the way. By the time we're done, you'll have a gaming station anyone would be happy to have attached to their TV.
