I do recommend the latest retropie though and make sure you add the command line for 8bitdo controllers otherwise the connection will drop out as will your hair as you pull it out trying to figure out what has gone wrong

There are lots of guides and as mentioned in other reviews if using on pi use either the x input for windows or b input
