Installation

First we need to install Replay OS into your MicroSD card.

Flashing the image

  • We suggest you to use Raspberry Pi Imager for flashing the system to the MicroSD card. Download it from their official web site and install it.

  • Next, download the latest version of RePlay OS from the Download section.

  • Now insert your MicroSD card into your computer and open Raspberry Pi Imager. Then, click on CHOOSE OS: Step 1

  • Select USE CUSTOM from the dropdown and select your OS image file: Step 2 Step 2_1

  • Next click on CHOOSE STORAGE and select your MicroSD card where the system will be installed:

Step 3 Step 4

  • Finally click on the NEXT button, then click NO in the popup to avoid applying any customization, and finally click YES on the last popup to confirm that you want to write the SD card:

Step 5 Step 6 Step 7

  • After finishing, remove the MicroSD card and plug it into your Raspberry device.

Connect the primary HDMI

IMPORTANT: Ensure you are using the primary HDMI port when booting your Raspberry Pi. Using the wrong port will result in a black screen.

Step 7

First Boot

When booting your Raspberry Pi for the first time, it will perform some initial operations silently (black screen), such as creating and expanding a new FAT partition on the MicroSD card for storing your ROMs, BIOS, saves, and config files.

Please note that these operations could take some time, so be patient. DO NOT POWER OFF the device and wait until the system displays the user interface.
