Hey guys, and welcome to my tutorial on how to create your very own retro-gaming machine. This tutorial will teach you how to install RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi. Since quite a few models of the Raspberry Pi exist, I want to state I will focus on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. For the project, I will use a computer equipped with Windows 10. Before we get started, I want to first provide definitions for a few technical terms you will see throughout the Instructable.

Raspberry Pi: A low-cost, basic computer originally intended to help spur interest in computing among school-aged children.

RetroPie: Software that builds upon various projects to enable you to play your favorite arcade, home-console, and classic PC games with very little set-up.

Emulator: Software that enables a computer system to behave like another. In our case, enabling a Raspberry Pi to behave like several different video game consoles.

ROMs: Digital versions of game cartridges.

After reading over and understanding these terms, let's get started by learning what materials you will need to begin building your retro-gaming machine.
