I just bought my Raspberry Pi setup off amazon. When I got it, it took about 30 minutes or so (subtracting delays for the dang kids getting out of bed) from unboxing to playing Super Spike Vball on the Retropie nes eumlator. It is amazing. I just use my PS3 controller, works great.

Last weekend a buddy and I got tanked playing Streets of Rage on Genesis after setting up my Raspberry Pi retro machine. This weekend a different buddy was over and we ended up playing Rock n' Roll Racing till 2 am. I haven't touched a modern game all week, it's awesome
if nothing else the nes classic has ignited interest in the old games and emulation/retro hobby
I have been working on my Raspberry Pi for about 3 days now. I decided to try a premade 64GB image but after downloading and unpacking and imaging it just failed anyway.
Now I'm doing it manually adding all supported systems with complete "no-intro" rom sets. That process is long as the roms come individually zipped inside of the main zip and I also wanted to remove all import and beta versions. Once that was complete it was on to the scraping of the box art and info which for all of the systems takes about 20 hours. I made the change so that pcengine and megadrive show up properly as TG16 and Genesis, also got TG16 CD games working (Rondo of Blood FTW).
When all this is complete then I will work on tweaking emulator settings especially for systems like N64 and maybe adding scanline overlays and shaders. I really wish I could have found an image that was all complete fully tweaked and ready to play with all systems and roms but hey this gave me a chance to brush up on my Linux skills that don't exist.
I"LL SHOW YOU CASE SENSITIVE!!!
PS: If anyone wants Mega links for complete sets PM me

If you get n64 working well without overclocking...please let me know the settings.

Ha. An image of your final setup would be beautiful

My image right now is 21gb and that is without adding the 15-20 PS1 games I want. I have a friend bringing his pi2 over and I'm going to try loading my image on his card and see what happens. Once all is done I will make a final image and make it available somehow.

I didn't realize how poorly the N64 runs on the Pi. I wouldn't even call many games worth playing. I've tried Dragon Quest 7 and FF 7 for the PS emulator and they work great so I guess N64 is still a pipe dream om the Pi.
I worked on an image then saw someone already did a better job, I downloaded and installed and a few minor tweaks and this works like a charm. Reys 128GB image.
