I am 54 and pretty much computer illiterate. I managed to put together a raspberry pi, xin-mo and 4:3 monitor.
I also managed to flash the retropie image. And it boots up correctly. I downloaded some roms and I think I have 3 problems:
1. No sound. I will worry about this later.
2. Not sure I configured the buttons and joysticks correctly. All I have is 2 players. 2 joysticks, 6 buttons, 1p and 2p buttons. I will worry about this later.
3. I want to fix this one now. When I go into games, they don't look like the originals. For example, Donkey Kong isn't the correct color. Pac man isn't the correct color. And they look really low tech.
These are the only games I am interested in: defender, joust, Mario brothers and super mario brothers, Ms Pac Man, donkey kong, Galaxian, dig dug, galaga, space invaders, centipede, frogger, zaxxon, missile command, Pac man ans asteroids.
So if you can please help me, I would appreciate it. Also pretend like you are talking to a 5 year old when giving me help so I can understand what you are saying. Please no smart alecs. ThanksF
