Imagine taking this little piece of hardware back in time and showing all those console gamers what they will be able to do in the future on ONE device

I have a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie connected to my TV. I play old console games with my 13-year old daughter. I bought two USB official Sega Genesis controllers and we play Mortal Kombat II together. A 30+ year old game I played with I was young. Now she beats me almost every time and she says it's her favourite game. It's awesome.

I like that RetroAchievements shows indicators in the bottom right corner of Achievements that you can get in the level. For instance in Zelda LttP, when you are fighting Moldorm in the Tower of Hera, it shows 2 possible achievements, no damage and kill Moldorm in under 20 seconds. If you don't defeat Moldorm quickly or get hit, the indicators vanish, letting you know that you can't get them.

Absolutely was not kidding about the length of time it takes for the RetroPie install, good lord.

This video made it easy to set up my game system. My dad wanted a way to play his childhood games and I put this together with things I had lying around. I was completely unable to set up ssh and had to resort to loading it via USB drive.
