Raspberry pi loaded memory card

[Markitanis]

It says on Arcade punks that the download is already configured, plug and play
Im lost

Your PC is prob either Windows or Mac the image for Pi is Linux & therefore needs to be converted to that its really simple you unpack the zip files & use image file it creates with the Pi imager or Win32 to make the image for your SD or what ever storage you are using.

 

[Markitanis]

Arcade punk’s instructions are different??

 

[Chihiro]

Are they?

INSTALL

• Download The Image
• Write to MicroSD (help)
• Pop in your Pi4
• PLAY!!!

Pi imager is easier for the novice.

 

[Markitanis]

Doesn’t say anything about unzipping

 

[Chihiro]

Then just write the "image file" then you said you had zip flies some posts back so I suggested you unzip them.

I also use this image no probs only thing is its nearly 26K roms so lots of crap.

If there zip files you need to unzip them to make the image

 

[Chihiro]

Btw the default language is Spanish for the menus but you can change it.

 

[Markitanis]

Yea i saw it on the video

 

[Chihiro]

What it doesn't tell you is that most of the games are too ! but for the classics its not a massive problem.

 

[Chihiro]

The best overall image I've found is the Bored game dad Super Clean Pi4 image as it only has what you need but its requires a 256gb.

I run all of my Pi4 images on my Namco Noir with LG Ultragear for reference.

Was thinking by the time i unzip the files there will be no space left on my 128gb sd card. Its advertised as 128gb. Bought the card for nothing

Is that 1 file what’s different a .bat file? If it is just double click it

 

[samusaran]

simply run the raspberry.bat from the Batocera partition on the SD Card.
thats what it says so do that.

 

[Markitanis]

Thats to switch from raspberry pi4 to pi3. If you have a pi3

 

[Chihiro]

This image runs a bit rubbish on Pi3 too, iirc I had rgb issuers.

I just unpacked the zip files to my laptop & then created the image to the sd card.

Maybe this isn't for you but I'm sure if you look on eBay ect there will be some pre done cards for $$$.

There are some smaller images like Arcade Legends which is 64gb.

 

[Markitanis]

Ill give at crack tomorrow. When i unzip everything do i keep it in seperate folders or all together

 

[Chihiro]

It should unzip to one image file put it in its own folder.

I have a selection.

 

[Markitanis]

It’s lots of different zipped files at the moment
