Arcade Punk hipp0 releases this awesome 256gb Pi4 Batocera image, aptly named “RETRO PIRATE BOX”, he has an official support thread over on our forums. This image contains over 30,000 ROMs! (note new version v2 available here)

I spent a few weeks on this, meticulously going through and finding the best games for Playstation and other systems. Testing as many games as I possibly could to make sure only the ones that worked stayed on. This was tested with a Raspberry Pi 4 gig. Was made using Batocera. If a game doesn’t work, or there is a game you want, just connect over SSH (I recommend Filezilla and copy what you want there)

**Tips: If you plug the microSD into your pc after burning the image. There is a config file where you can change some parameters. If your HDMI gives you trouble unplug and replug (or change the HDMI port on the Raspberry PI), or try changing some of the parameters in the config file when you plug it into your pc. Time is set to EST, you change that in the config for example : America/New_York

This content is 2 years old. If there is a download link on this page and you expect a torrent to be "well seeded" its VERY unlikely you will have much success - Our revenue funded Seedboxes usually only host for 90 days (more in some "collection" cases). Try requesting it on our forum, or, if available then downloading from another source (for example mega.nz, 1fichier or upto) - The best method of downloading would be .nzb (usenet) as most providers have at least 3 years retention - check out the "how to" on the NZB page - alternatively if you are a member there is a good chance it can be put on the members private FTP.
