Now that we have the RetroPie image selected and confirmed the correct device has been selected, we can click "Start" to format and install the RetroPie Operating System (OS). Note: You will need to change the filter dropdown to "All Files" Locate the extracted RetroPie image file we downloaded earlier and select it. Once you have confirmed the correct device, click the CD-ROM button next to "Create a bootable disk using" checkbox. WARNING: You will lose anything on the device selected once Rufus starts. Verify the correct drive, size, and letter have been selected before moving forward. Rufus should automatically detect removable media and select it by default for "Device". Run the Rufus application we downloaded earlier and insert the microSD card (hopefully you already have a card reader or USB adapter). In our case, we want the Raspberry Pi 2/3 download. Take note on the download page, it provides a version for each Raspberry Pi version. Next, we need to download the RetroPie distribution (download here) and format our microSD card with Rufus. Download the installation or portable version for later use. I personally like using a program called Rufus (downloaded here). Now that we have our hardware ready, we need to prepare the microSD card for RetroPie.
