    Has anyone set one of these up.

    They are great. Started on a 1st gen pi but at times I felt it ran some of the games a bit laggy. So bought the pi3 which has a faster 64bit processor and 1 gb of ram.

    The updates can take a while but after that its class.

    It happens to all of us ha ha

    What Pi do you have.

    If you have the Pi 1 then you will be able to run snes/nes/megadrive/sms etc. I bought a Pi3 even though I have a P1 1, just because of the extra mem, better procesor, bluetooth etc. Its great, best I can do on it is run sega 32x, I can run N64 but you can see issues here and there, I cant get the Mega/Sega CD to run at all, I will work at that.

    I will PM you a link
