retro pi

Has anyone built one of these?

I realize there's every emulator imaginable for pc floating around right now but something in me what to make one of these anyway. Maybe do some customer work on an old broken Nintendo or dreamcast, or the wood grain Atari 2600 and have a novelty piece.

My Linux is really rusty so I wasn't an early adopter of the raspberry pi but now it looks like there's a tutorial out there for just about anything you could imagine.

I was worried I'd do something like creepin and get one and just leave it in a closet or something. My "rainy day" projects and games have become a collection in their own right.

I bought one anyway. I figure it would be something I can let my 5 year old put together and take ownership of. It'll be worth the fun just letting him build a case for it out of legos, and teaching him how to spell sudo

I finally got around to putting this together and I must say the playstation controller works really well with it. The games that comes with the retropie os are pretty vanilla but work well in HD. I've yet to play anything else though. I think the urge to tinker with a raspberry pi has past...
