RetroPie-Setup Expanded is an Unoffical Fork. It is a shell script that is based on the orginal RetroPie, and used is to setup the Raspberry Pi, Vero4K, ODroid-C1, Tinker Board or a PC running Ubuntu with many emulators and games, using EmulationStation as the graphical front end. RetroPie-Setup Extended focus will be for the Tinker Board and higher end sbc's.
This Extended script is designed for use on for the Tinker Board and Tinker Board S, but will still work on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian, OSMC on the Vero4K or Ubuntu on the ODroid-C1 or a PC.
Any issues or requests should be sent here and not to RetroPie, due to the fact they have noting to do with this version.
To run the RetroPie Setup Script make sure that your APT repositories are up-to-date and that Git is installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gitThen you can download the latest RetroPie setup script with
cd
git clone https://github.com/slaminger/RetroPie-SetupThe script is executed with
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.shWhen you first run the script it may install some additional packages that are needed.
On the Tinker Board it is suggested you compile/update from source.
On the Raspberry Pi, RetroPie Setup offers the possibility to install from binaries or source. For other supported platforms only a source install is available. Installing from binary is recommended on a Raspberry Pi as building everything from source can take a long time.
