Trying to find a ready to go image for a Raspberry Pi 5, either RetroPie or Batocera (or others I’m not aware of) for retro gaming. I know of Arcade Punks, but is there any other resource? Tried downloading a 128GB image from them and its taking forever due to no seeders. I did check megathread but wasn’t able to find anything so far.

    I was mostly worried about coming across some junk roms that won’t play, etc. But that’s probably not so common.

      Funnily enough, I actually had problems in the past with junk roms in all-in-ones. I’m sure there are good, currated all-in-one images out there but I found the flexibility of managing my own library to be worth it cause there are so many great sources of roms. For retro, my favourite is vimms lair. Check it out if interested

        I love Vimm’s Lair and have used it a bunch. Only reason I didn’t start there this time is I want a new build for a Pi 5 and boy, Vimm’s is slooooooow. Great project and service offered though.
