Just the HQ. I wish I would love to be living down here. Winter is a joke compared to Western NY

Update: I got an HDMI cable and RetroPie works wonderfully. Now, I just need to get ROMs.

Go from Freezing to risk of tornadoes... which is worse? At least snow you can (for the most part) see coming. Tornadoes will pop up and SURPRISE your [moderated] ...

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 all of the emulators. None of the ROMs are included. https://retropie.org.uk/

It doesn't hurt standing.

I finally found a chair that I can sit in pain free. But the sofa is torture.

People who have never had back pain have no idea how bad it is.

I rarely get this, and this is the worst it has ever been.

But yeah it sucks, a lot!

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.

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.
