How I got the gamecon driver to work on RetroPie (EmulationStation) and was able to use a Nintendo 64 controller connected to the GPIO port of my Raspberry Pi 2 I took the following steps before downloading the gamecon GPIO driver:.However, this emulation platform isn't as full-featured or attractive as Retropie. Lakka, an alternative to Retropie, now does officially support the Pi 4.It combines a full suite of tools and utilities that will allow you to quickly and easily run retro game ROMs for various vintage gaming emulators. RetroPie is a software package for the Raspberry Pi that is based on the Raspbian OS, a Linux distribution.
