Hi guys,

I have been playing around with the latest RetroPie for the Rpi3, gotta say I am very impressed so far.
Installation couldn't be easier, write image to MicroSD card, pop the card in the Rpi3 and it will install everything for you.
It will also expand the filesystem to use all available space on the MicroSD card.
Emulators will only show if Roms are found in the relevant folders so you dont see extra stuff you dont want.

I am using a 128GB MicroSD card for the Rpi3 and I am storing all non-ISO roms on here, ISO's are stored on 2 low profile USB sticks (128GB each).
You can update easily and get the latest versions of the emulators, you can also install some experimental emulators (Saturn, 3DO, Nintendo DS etc.).
For the controllers I am using a wireless Xbox 360 game pad and one of the Microsoft USB wireless receivers - works great!

I have had very good experiences with all the emulators below apart from (N64, Sony PSP - both are slow in most games, and the Dreamcast one works but has crashed a few times).

I have nearly completed Resident Evil 2 on the Playstation Emulator, a few minor issues (e.g. when the crocodile attacks and the room etc. shakes the players character did flicker a bit but it wasnt anything that affected gameplay) and I have tested various games with each emulator and they do work great on the whole.

Costs:
Raspberry Pi 3 Kit (£42) - Rpi3 + 16GB micro sd card, Wall charger (2.5A) & official case
128GB MicroSD Card (£37)
128GB Usb Stick (x2) (£25 each)
+ Controllers I already had lying around.

Total Cost: £129

has anyone else been having a play?
