Preparation steps:

1. With Raspberry PI imager software
   • Pick Raspberry PI 5 (recommended)
   • Operating System: Raspberry Pi OS LITE (64-bit)
   • Storage: the rpi storage card
   • Next
   • Edit Settings:
     • General -Set hostname: pix -Set a username and password -Configure wireless LAN (recommended, unless you connect the pi with a network cable)
     • Services
       • Enable SSH and use password authentication
   • Save
   • Yes and wait
2. Boot the Raspberry PI and wait for TTY console to appear
3. Do a ssh connection, you can check the rpi ip address with a ifconfig command
4. Update the system
   • sudo apt update
   • sudo apt upgrade
5. Install retropie
   • sudo apt install -y git lsb-release
   • cd ~
   • git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
   • cd RetroPie-Setup
   • sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
     • Pick "Basic Install" and wait for the installation to complete (Grab a coffee, it will take a while)
6. Automatic boot into ES:
   • Go to Configuration / tools -> Boot to text console (auto login as [YOUR USER NAME]) -> autostart -> Start EmulationStation at boot.
7. Clone epic-noir theme
   • Go to Configuration / tools -> esthemes -> pick c64-dev/EpicNoir Reboot -> sudo reboot
   • configure your joypad
   • press start → UI Settings → Theme Set → epicnoir

Install Pix-Infinity mod on top (For now will require manual steps, but in the future I might add an automation script)

• Copy bin files to /usr/local/bin/
• Create folder ~/.emulationstation/modudes
• Copy modules content to ~/.emulationstation/modudes
• Copy config file (rom-location.txt) in folder configs to ~/.emulationstation
• Edit file and add rom locations ordered from your most priority location to the least (Current file content is just an example)
• Create the folders for local roms: mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/services mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/gallery mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/iptv mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/music mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/radio mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/videos mkdir -p ~/RetroPie/roms/youtube In ~/RetroPie/roms/youtube copy the file channels.txt from configs to this folder (edit content, current is just an example)
• Copy folders inside themes folder to /etc/emulationstation/themes/epicnoir/
• Copy images inside themes folder/_art/posters to /etc/emulationstation/themes/epicnoir/_art/posters

All this to work require some dependencies, the ones I remember: xserver-xorg xinit x11-xserver-utils xinput chromium feh mpv imagemagick yt-dlp curl jq git python3 python3-evdev python3-xlib python3-pip matchbox-window-manager openbox unclutter-xfixes pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse alsa-utils pulseaudio-utils fonts-noto fonts-freefont-ttf antimicrox

You can try install all those and make it all running on your own while I don't create an installer!
