Today, petRockBlog announced a release of the new version of their Raspberry Pi project RetroPie.
RetroPie is a project residing at petRockBlog, which aims to provide a comprehensive set of works that turn Raspberry Pi into a retro-gaming console and allow players to easily relive their nostalgic memories . Because of that, RetroPie has gained lot of popularity since its release in 2012.
