You can play retro games with RetroPie. I have NES and SNES installed and have hundreds of games for them.
After installing RetroPie, you will need to put games into the proper folders in order to play them. Some games load with a black border around the game, you can press the Vufine's button to change the display mode, which will make the game take up the whole display
