RetroPie
RetroPie is a project based on Libretro, RetroArch, and EmulationStation. EmulationSta-
tion is an open source frontend that makes it easy to manage over 30 video game consoles
and applications, and your associated game files. It includes a built-in joystick setup tool
and can automatically download associated metadata for your files. This metadata includes
items such as box art and game info, which gives your collection a polished finish.
Libretro is another open source project. It is designed to bring multiple emulators into one
main package. Instead of having a separate application for each system, Libretro turns
these emulators into a core, which hooks into the library. By having a common library for
each emulator to hook into, a cohesive easy-to-use platform is created for the user. Ret-
roArch is the main frontend for the Libretro library.
The RetroPie project combines the best of the emulation, gaming, and frontend systems in-
to an easy-to-use platform for the Raspberry Pi.

• Amiga (UAE4All)
