Update: I got an HDMI cable and RetroPie works wonderfully. Now, I just need to get ROMs.
Remember the bios files too depending on the system
Vague statement is vague. BIOs for the Pi or the emulators?
Emulators. I don't think they are legally included in most emulation software.
RetroPie includes just about every emulator that there is. I did check with a couple old ROMs that I had from long ago, and so I have the original Legend of Zelda on there, and working, as well as a couple Atari 2600 games. It would be nice if there was an ability to run a couple PC games, but I'm only just starting out with this so it may have that and I've yet to discover it (I want to put Princess Maker 2 on it for my wife). Ultimately, I'll need some more controllers for the PS2/3 emulators. I also saw that there's a Descent 1 ROM out there, which would be great. I still have my PC cds for that! Loved that game.

Trying to avoid this stabbing sciatic pain!!!!!
I saw my chiro last night. I'm doing really well today in the places he worked, but we didn't do anything for my lower back, so it's all tight like a bunch of week old garlic knots.

It's the bios files and roms that are illegal. The emulators themselves are fine

@Grey If you're in the market for compatible controllers try:
- Logitech F310 (wired)
- Logitech F710 (Bluetooth/Battery Powered)
These are pretty high quality for a reasonable price and I have worked with them myself in regards to the Retropie. Just make sure you're using X Input.

@wirestyle22 Thanks! I'm not sure what controllers I need to collect yet. I already have a pair of classic Nintendo ones (like http://a.co/1PtpfRy) and an old USB controller that I picked up years ago from woot (http://a.co/dW9aLKj) so I'm going to play around with these and see how far I can get.

@Grey The good thing about those controllers is that you don't need an external power supply for them. If you try to use PS3/4 controllers the Raspberry Pi can't power them itself.

I dont know if they're supported by RetroPie, but if it has a bluetooth stack, the bluetooh PS4 controllers are awesome!

Standing in line for dinner because my wife is a nut and walked past loads of places with almost no one in them to wait for hours to get into Ai Tre Scalini.

Really not a bad idea if this rating is true.

Broke up a fight at work today...this was the after-math, and it could have been a lot worse...
-
@thanksajdotcom what caused the fight?
-
@thanksajdotcom also those cubicle walls look pretty awesome.

Didn't know you were in security.

@Dashrender he's a pretty big guy.

I've met him, several times. Just because he's big doesn't mean he should be breaking up fights.
-
@Dashrender true... at the same time not breaking up a fight is kind of like watching someone break into a car (and not notifying someone)

No it's not, not breaking up a fight is like watching the fight, unless you just walk away.
In both cases you should call the proper authorities.
If AJ was hurt he could have sued the company, and then been fired for not doing his job correctly.
-
@Dashrender in NY you can be fired for anything.
And can sue over anything. So there is no valid argument there.
I know what you mean, but he may be the authority there...

@thanksajdotcom sounds like a good night for a glass of scotch
