Mos Eisley:
Hello everyone!  After a few weeks of research and the arrival of my PI 3, I decided to sign up for the forums because I know I am going to need help.

I've got the PI, a power source, a memory card, and a zipped retro pie file on my computer.
Tomorrow I will go looking for a used monitor.  I hope I can get this thing up and running, like many others have.
However, a lot of the trouble shooting looks intimidating.

I am sure I will be back with a lot of questions to follow.

Wish me luck!

Slippyblade:
Don't be intimidated.  One way to make troubleshooting and config easier is to connect the Pi to your network and SSH from your regular computer into the Pi.  That way you can web browse on your normal computer which you are familiar with, and then you can copy/paste command line arguments into the shell.

Mos Eisley:
Probably should make a new post for this, but I've been searching for a monitor and have found that it may just be easier to buy an 22" LCD TV.  Is this a good idea or a bad idea.  I figure with a tv I won't need an hdmi dvi converter.

Slippyblade:
I've used HDMI, VGA, DVI, and the composite out.  They all work just fine.  If you use the HDMI, it's pretty much idiot-proof.  On certain VGA monitors you may need to twiddle settings in your config.txt, that would be done through SSH.

Mos Eisley:
Ok, everything works except my roms!  I downloaded 6 roms and only 1 (Black Tiger) works.
The other 5 error out!   This was the troubleshooting I feared.  Can anyone point me somewhere to find some help??
