BeebEm, mentioned previously, isn’t included in RetroPie, and nor is it available through its experimental package repos. There have been a few attempts to write custom installers to get it to work. The easiest one is detailed at . You only need to install the MAME standalone and LR-Mess (non-arcade) emulators to get a virtual BBC B working.
