I have just come into possession of a Raspberry Pi starter kit.
As I have numerous Kodi boxes, I was thinking of turning it into an arcade emulator...you know, for the kids...
Anyone have any experience of what the best emulator is for retro games? And how complicated it is, or a link to a decent guide?

Re: Raspberry Pi
I have mine setup with EmulationStation, compatible with many types of emulators all hosted in a nice graphical front-end similar to Kodi to launch the games from (I have Mega Drive, SNES, Amiga and ScummVM setup at the moment). I'm at work and can't get you too much info but definitely look up EmulationStation builds.
For the kids, obviously.

Re: Raspberry Pi
I run RetroPie with the Emulationstaion front end all housed in a VIC 20 case (keyboard and Joystick ports work too) on my Pi2.
Using it to run everything from an Atari 2600 to Arcade emulation with MAME.

Re: Raspberry Pi
So, forgive my stupidity...
My pi came with an SD card with NOOBS on it (which contained Raspbian)
Is my best bet to use a separate SD card and put the emulation station image on that?
