So I decided to delve into the world of Raspberry Pi and after hours and hours of videos mostly reviews/tutorials I have bought everything I need to get started.
Heres the list of components:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB Micro SD Card
Nespi Case + (with heatsinks,fan and power supply)
2x USB Gamepads (snes lookalikes)
The SD card will have Retropie and Kodi installed so I can play all my favourite games and load it up with movies and such to watch, the unit will be portable enough to take with me when we go stay at hotels while visiting friends/family or on holiday when its too wet/cold/stormy to go out, whilst at home it can be used as a general purpose home entertainment system
The first two Components arrived today the rest are due tomorrow

Did you get heat sinks for the Pi? Trust me, you're going to need them, if you have the same case I have for my Pi (which runs a Retro-emulator), you're going to need them. The tiny fan that comes with the case is almost enough.

I'm using the copper heatsink that comes with the case and its base fan but theres a recommened fan on amazon for £11 i may go for. After seeing the heat tests. Gotta stop it from throttling otherwise emulation performance suffers and theres a chance of permanent chipset damage

ok so initial impressions are great, theres only one thing that has been a little bit of a letdown and that's the N64 Emulation, its quite choppy and slow on quite a few games, but Mario 64 and Mario kart 64 both work fine, all the PS1 games seem to work great, they even have this emulated memory card so I can save games need to add some more to the library though its only got half my Original Collection there, such as only the arcade disc for Gran Turismo 2 when I want the career mode, and its missing Future Cop LAPD which is one of my favourite PS1 games, that can easily be rectified, All in all the rest of the emulation software works well and having played around with Kodi im ready to start loading up some digital copies of movies and some home vids too.
**Disclaimer**
I only have ROMs for games I own but no longer have the consoles to play them Anything else that came on the image that I don't own I have removed
