Unpacking and trial installation

Unpacking and putting the Raspberry in its box was equally easy. I am beginning to see why people like this product. This is all the stuff I bought.

And after two minutes of work I had a properly fitted Raspberry Pi. :-)

I followed the instructions from here to install the Retropie SD image. Installation worked just like it should and I inserted the SD card into the Raspberry and connected the cables and fired it up. I was greeted by a boot screen and after little while the system complained about not finding any game controllers. I went into command line mode and used raspi-config to make some initial configurations before pausing my work in the project for now. I am very happy with how easy it has been so far. My next step will be to read up on the configuration system and do what has to be done there, before moving on to the emulation functionality.
