Got a Raspberry PI 3

Bought the kit with pretty much everything other that mouse/keyboard. What a fun little computer in a small box. There is even a Ubuntu Mate image for it. Using it as an OSMC/Kodi media player for no...

Well, I took the plunge and just ordered the Pi 3 B+.  Should be here next week.  I want to set it up to run old NES and SNES games.  Bought a retro controller and HDMI to DVI cable, as my monitor doesn't have an HDMI connection.  Should be pretty cool.  It ought to be fun.  I'll probably get another micro SD card later so I can try other stuff with it, too.  

 

And to think, I'll finally have something that can use the 5Ghz WiFi in the HT2000W.  :p

      Have fun GabeU, I've been using mine as a media player with OSMC/Kodi installed, works great. Lots of OS's and packages for it including Ubuntu MATE.

        Finally decided to post up the pictures of mine, it's a Pi3 B+, built as a birthday gift for a family member.

        Also, yes, those power buttons work exactly as if it was an old NES.
