Very easy

Got to retropie.com and download the image.
They you need a USB stick to save the games.
Amazon sells USB controllers but an xbox controller will work, you set up the buttons.

Happy to clone my SD card for anyone who isn't interested in doing the setup and downloading of games for themselves.

I was just thinking about building a stand up cabinet. Have to get off my ass and start doing it already

we used to go to the bar with my dad when we were kids. Tapper, Space Invaders and Ms. Pac-Man consoles were top notch.

that was the early 80s. times were different.

Our local place has the Budweiser tapper.

Fun ass game. I'd love to get one of those at home just for the unique controller (literally a tap handle).

Bump. Been putting off getting a NES for too long now. Found a sweet deal on ebay for a working console, 4 controllers, a zapper, a few games and a bag of cables. Was a bit dirty/gnarly and it worked but it would take 15+ attempts of the flashing red light ******** until a game fired up. Tore it all down and polished the crap out of the contacts with mag polish and soaked the 72 pin in vinegar for a while and gave it a good brushing. Also a crap load of windex and magic eraser on the case. Fires up on the first try now and looks brand new!

Oh yeah, and beer

Just picked up a SNES/some controllers/some games on offerup and somehow wasn't mugged. It was one of the cleanest consoles I've ever seen. Zero yellowing. As I was leaving he said he also had a broken and a working Dreamcast with Crazy Taxi and controllers he'd bundle in with it. Couldn't resist! Link to the Past is so stupid good.

Castlevania on N64 and some Jester King
