Day 1 of Project

My first day of working on the project was November 27, 2014.

 I started by going through the initial setup of the raspberry pi system. This included installing the "Raspian Wheezy" operating system, setting the regional settings, and setting up the hard drive space on the raspberry pi.

After the initial setup, I started downloading the files that are required to use the "RetroPie" program, which is the super nintendo emulator that works on the raspberry pi. These files take a while to download and install, and I was not able to get all of the files onto my raspberry pi yet.



What Is My Project?

My goal is to make a super Nintendo system using an emulator from the internet,and a raspberry pi as my computer

I will be using the following parts: 
  • Raspberry Pi Model B+
  • Two USB Super Nintendo Controllers
  • VGA to HDMI cable adapter
  • Micro SD card
  • USB SD card adapter
I will be using the following site as a guide: http://supernintendopi.wordpress.com/
