What is the quickest and simplest to get RetroPi? (self.raspberrypi)

Hey all! I wanted to build/buy a retro gaming console with Raspberry Pi to play roms. What is the simplest way to do this? Can I buy a Raspberry Pi that has RetroPi installed already, then just dump my roms onto it?

Thanks 👍

1- Clone this repo: https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming

2- Run armbian-gaming.sh

3- Choose "install retropie"

4- Run "emulationstation" after installing

Why this over the default retropie image? (genuinely curious)

For when you are running an "obscure" distro and/or sbc (like say, dietpi and orange pi zero 3).

Great! I appreciate it. How well does it run N64 games?

I've got a rpi 4 w/ 2 GiB of ram and it runs fine.
