You can for example transfer them to USB stick or you can transfer them from your local network. You need to transfer the roms to your device also. After that you only need to use the Raspberry Pi with your controller. You can usually just connect your game pad and configure the controls.
#LAKKA RASPBERRY PI 3 CONTROLLERS SOFTWARE#
It depends on your host operating system but I know that you are able to make the installation with Windows and Linux PCs.Īfter getting the software installed you need to fiddle around a bit with the settings.

You can probably read some deeper instructions from those links that are above this text. There are many ways that you can get the image file to your memory card. For gaming I would go with RetroPie or Lakka OS.
#LAKKA RASPBERRY PI 3 CONTROLLERS INSTALL#
You have to install yourself a good operating system. You will also need a keyboard, maybe even a mouse, a cable for Ethernet and an HDMI cable. You get that Raspberry Pi needs a memory card and a power cable to work. You can probably use your old smart phone’s cable for this, that is you have one available. Raspberry Pi also needs a power input that is provided with 5V micro USB connection. There’s also a slot for video output and a small slot, actually a mini-plug connection, for audio output. There is HDMI connection which delivers the sound and the picture from the computer to the display. While this is just enough to support playing retro games, it might be too small for some uses. The first release also only supports SD memory card up to 32 GB.

So you might want to consider buying for example Raspberry Pi 4 instead of the first release. There’s no Wi-Fi built in the first Raspberry Pi but some newer models also have this feature included. If you don’t want to sacrifice one USB slot for Wi-Fi dongle you can connect your Raspberry Pi to your network and internet with an Ethernet connection. You can even expand these USB slots with an USB hub.

But for a USB controller or even Bluetooth dongle would work with USB 2.0s just fine. The connections could be colored blue that only tells that they would be a bit more advanced and more effective in transmitting data through them. The connections are white which tells us that they are of type USB 2.0. It has many ways that you can connect different equipment to it. If you want to be able to run PS2 games I think this is not, at least yet, your way to go. Shield can even run some Sega Dreamcast with Sony PlayStation games. It is also not a bad choice to pick up a NVIDIA Shield if you are interested in emulated retro gaming and you want to be able to run games with 3D graphics. Newer Raspberry Pis are capable of running some more advanced games that have 3D graphics. While it is not able to run decently games that have 3D graphics it is perfectly good for playing retro video games like SNES games to give an example. What makes this interesting for the readers of this blog is that it can be used for retro gaming. While it has many uses I haven’t utilized it in a while. So I have this old Raspberry Pi 1 that I got back in about 2011.
