About Emulators and RetroPi
Emulators are software programs that replicate the hardware of old systems so you can run old software. In this case we are running RetroPi, which runs on Raspberry Pi, an inexpensive micro computer. RetroPi turns this credit card sized computer into a system capable of running lots of emulators, including emulating many classic games.
We will have members who have put together their own RetroPi systems. At the event they can answer questions about setting up your own RetroPi. Feel free to bring your own Raspberry Pi. We can demonstrate how to get setup by installing with games from the home brew gaming community.
