    to be fair, the Raspberry Pi has never been pitched as an idiot-proof consumer appliance.

    it is supposed to be a cheap way for people to get into studying programming /computing / electronics.

      Correction…it’s never been pitched that way by the makers of raspberry pi.

      I first learned of it on youtube by some guy showing how easy it was to set up, and get your home arcade up and running in 30 minutes.

      Yeeeeaaaahhhh…no.

        Sorry you’re dumb. All you need for retropie is a RP4 and a SD card. The image burns directly to the SD card, insert, power on, play games.

          But the problem is, I can’t get the fan to work. So the whole thing overheats until I fix that problem.
