I opened retro pie. I even downloaded it and I was amazed. As also a Computer Engineering student, I found it more interesting.

Pros:

It is an Open source, of course it is free for everyone
Educational for New Gaming developers to enhance their skills and knowledge

Cons:

If you are not a gaming developer, and you just want to discover new things. Their User Interface is somewhat hard to understand, it is complicated for other users, and also I find retro pie uncomfortable to use when using it because of its GUI.

personally I was looking for these retro games (I still do love old school games hahah)

Cons:

The product might not be catchy to the new generation because of its graphics and concepts.
may not be somehow competitive to virtual reality games.
having a hard time in understanding the interface.

Such a great hunt man.
here are my thoughts:

Pros:

As a fan of arcade games back then, this would be interesting one to download and to have in my device.
Great software which is open source.
To top it all, it offers lots of retro arcade games, even if we are in our early 20s, we'd be able to feel like a kid with this application.

Cons:

Nothing I guess. To those nazis in graphics they might find it awful.

truthsfinder (62) 6 years ago

Pros:

Most developers would love an open source thing <3
Since I'm into retro gaming, I would say, this is the revision of the old days!
There are a lot of games available.
Has the most supported systems out of any retrogaming software for the Raspberry Pi.

Cons:

If you are not into retro gaming, then you can say this so gross!
Not good really advisable graphics.

Revive RETRO GAMING!! :D

Currently building a bartop, I choose Retropie as system. Mame games runs pretty well, and the config combinations are just infinite !
I'm so impatient to receive my buttons/joystick kit !

I have retro pie on my Raspberry Pi, coolest thing ever. I play a ton of pokemon thanks to it. Really easy to use and setup. Recommended it to a ton of friends, I'm sure a ton more people will want to use it as they learn about it.
