Since this video, etcher.io changed to balena.io/etcher .
Another option instead of using etcher is Win32 Disk Imager: sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager

ARCADE CONTROL BOARD+Kit:
If interested in creating a bar-top, table-top or full size arcade cabinet with your RetroPie, then you may want to consider this (I personally have used it in x3 RPi Arcades and they work great):

I'm also building a Restrictor Plate that for the above joystick that doesn't require opening the cabinet. Here's my video on that:
