You need to copy ROMs of games to system with either USB or SSH. You also may need to install the package for the console you want to play on. Lots of videos on YouTube to show you how to do it. You will have to source the ROMs yourself as it's illegal without owning the games for that console they are for. Look up YouTube user ETAprime is one I think floob is another.

Here's the guide. It's a doddle to follow.

This worked on mine.

• Get a USB key and use your pc/laptop to format it to FAT32 (right click - format - drop down).
• After that's done, create a folder on that key called "retropie" (without quotes)
• With the retropie running, plug the USB key in.
• The light should start blinking as it's writing the folder structure on to it.
• When it's stopped blinking / writing, take the USB and plug it back in to your pc/laptop.
• Copy the relevant games (roms) to the new folders on the USB.
• Plug the USB back in to the Pi and wait for it to stop blinking again.
• Refresh or restart the Pi.
• Done!

Nope. Nothing to do with any websites.

What the above method does is allows you to copy roms (games) to and from your pc to the Pi. If any folders show as empty (i.e. if you don't have games for that system), the emulator will not appear in the retropie menu.

If you're looking to get roms there's no talk of that allowed here.
