Ok thanks I don't plan on using noobs very long anyway .So do you basically write this to the same sd card that rasbian is on ?

Ok never mind the installation question thanks. know a good place to get roms I don't mind paying if I have to

To make things clear: NOOBS is NOT an operating system. It's an installation environment for the distribution you prefer. Nothing more. You cannot run software like an emulator on NOOBS. Instead, you could install raspbian and then install the emulator(s) of your choice.

Ok thanks yeah I did understand about the noobs part I was getting confused because of the retro pi os but now I understand that it is its own os to make a dedicated gaming platform im assuming to save memory and it boots up right the the games thanks again
