Finally I find myself able to enjoy emulation without it feeling so fake. It’s incredibly tiny and consumes very little power. All sounds and music are 100% correct and authentic. You will be blown away by the performance of this system. If you search for the model of your drive on you can compare your score with others and make sure the drive is performing correctly! Conclusion If you want to verify your drive’s performance you may want to run my storage benchmark with: sudo curl | sudo bash

RetroPie has an amazing guide on how to download and install RetroPie on your SD card and configure the system for your controllers.

You may also use bluetooth compatible and USB controllers from other gaming systems. The controllers I have linked all have hundreds of positive reviews and have good D-Pads that will function correctly and feel right. This can cause problems when you try to hold up and right at the same time to move diagonally as an example.

The bluetooth controllers are a little more difficult to initially configure since you need to pair them first but it is well worth it and covered extensively in the configuration guide I link to in the configuration section. The Raspberry Pi 3 has bluetooth built in so you can have a wireless controller. Our PI Classic case has an opening lid! Controllers
