Reply To: Dear Retropie,NOOBS and RecalboxOS…

Well, I’m not sure where full of shit came from, but everyone here and the various other projects have been super helpful from my point of view, and I think the constructive responses to your poorly written post kinda prove that.

Either way, you’re clearly frustrated which we can all understand, so hopefully I can help a little.

If you want the most basic easy to use system, install recalbox directly, not through noobs. It’s only a few hundred meg and pretty much fool proof: http://www.recalbox.com/diyrecalbox

It will run right out of the gate, but is very basic as far as tweaking and emulators goes. It’s pretty much controlled by retroboy, though he does a good job.

RetroPie is a bit more advanced and does require some Linux skills. So you’ll need a hell of a lot more patience and commitment to having a tinker to get the job done. But it is satisfying when you get it done.

Failing that, sell your Pi and buy a yum cha retro console. But they suck too.
