3 PrePARATIONS
SD-Card Preparation
Before we start to assemble our Case, we need to prepare our SD Card with Retropie and
Configure Wifi and SSH.
First download the appropriate Image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/ in my
Case for the Pi4
Now Download your favourite Program to write the Image tot he Micro-SD Card.
For Windows: Raspberry Pi Imager, Etcher, or Win32DiskImager
Win32DiskImager requires an .img file extracted from the .img.gz
image downloaded. You can use a program like 7zip to do this.
For macOS: Raspberry Pi Imager, Etcher, Apple Pi Baker, or the dd command
For Linux: Raspberry Pi Imager, Etcher, or the dd command
MacOS/Linux users can optionally extract the .img image from the
downloaded .img.gz by using gunzip (macOS users can also simply
double-click it)
