SeedConsole is a repository that contains everything needed to get RetroPie working out of the box for Raspberry Pi devices equipped with an RPi HAT 240x240 display (ST7789V) along with buttons.
SeedConsole is not intended to be a fork of RetroPie. The provided .img file only includes the setup configuration available in this repository.
In both cases, you need to wait about 5 minutes to get everything setup at first boot.
- Flash the released .img files onto the MicroSD.
- Follow the manual installation you can find just below.
- Flash Retropie onto the MicroSD (min 4GB).
- Copy the contents of the retropie_partition directory from this repository to the retropie partition on the MicroSD.
- Do the same with the contents of boot_partition directory from this repository to the boot partition on the MicroSD.
- Insert the MicroSD into the Raspberry Pi and power it on.
💡 You have to be root to do the first step correctly. Be smart, and launch your file browser with elevated privileges using sudo just for that. :)
⚠️ Windows & MacOS users ⚠️
The Retropie partition on the MicroSD card uses the ext4 filesystem, which is not readable by default as the boot partition type (fat32). To mount that partition and be able to place games into it actually you have to install this software:
The released images files contains all the configuration available in this repository which includes 127 open source games .
This HAT has only 3 buttons on the right (A,B and Start) and 5 on the left (Up, Down, Left, Right and Select). So, it has the same configuration as the Game Boy, NES, Sega Master system, Game Gear, Atari 2600 and Atari 7800.
- Insert the MicroSD into your computer, go unter boot partition and add your ROMs/Games under roms/ correspondingly.
