Step #4

Build It

Now that you have all the parts working individually, now is the time to actually put it all together. As what always happens, there will be issues and you will need to change and re-engineer things, this is OK.

Each day you will write an entry saying what you did.
(Yours SHOULD NOT be as complex as this example!)

Example:

• Title: Raspberry Pi GameBoys

• Group: I am a group of 1

• Actual finished project: photo

• Each Day:

  1. Today I assembled .... Here is a photo of what it looks like

  2. Today I added ... Here is a photo of what it looks like now.

Example steps:

1. load raspbian regular desktop onto SD card. Bootup Rapberry Pi 3A+ with image.

2. Run setup and update and reboot

3. Goto config and set to boot to CLI and not desktop

4. Load PIcadeHAT driver:

   • curl -sS https://get.pimoroni.com/picadehat | bash

5. Make terminal font bigger:

6. Load retroPie

   • git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

   • cd RetroPie-Setup

   • chmod +x retropie_setup.sh

   • sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

7. load ROMS:

   • git clone https://github.com/Mr-Coxall/RetroPie-ROMS

   • then copy then to the roms directory:

     • cp -r * /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

8. Set emulation station to start automatically

9. Update the emulation station theme
