All you need is usb drive, just download the .elf file and insert. Here are more instructions. > **[Vegz78/McAirpos - Installation](https://github.com/Vegz78/McAirpos#installation)** > > MakeCode Arcade games in RetroPie, running natively as ELF executables on Raspberry Pi OS with gamepad support. ---

Added a [quick automatic installation script](https://github.com/Vegz78/McAirpos#quick-automatic-installation) for McAirpos today. 😉 ---

I may not be able to use it soon because retropie’s latest release is broken. It happened because of a security update raspberry did. Also downgrading will not work either. ---

Sorry to hear that, @Agent_14! It just [happened to me as well](https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26961/update-retropie-4-6-or-raspbian-old-image/9), and is a real hassle, since they tend have short version binary history, and no version history for related source files. I try not to update RetroPie or Raspbian on my RetroPie installations, unless new features or forward compatibility forces me. Luckily it’s not that often. -And recent image backups of working installations have proven very valuable(when I remember it before I press update, hehe…). Good luck! ---

I had no option to upgrade cause I barely got the pi for Christmas and I only recently got a second SD card.
