With all the talk about the Mini NES, many have suggested doing it with a Raspberry Pi instead. In short: don't. Everything looks fucking disgusting, and getting it to look right often has you having to research and change settings on a per game basis. And even then it's not right.

Here's Zelda running on a real NES and a CRT on the left, and it running on the Pi and an HDTV on the right.

Now look at both screens. Notice anything?

Oh yeah, everything is stretched, and link is fucking fat.

Even after hours of searching, and claimed solutions, I cannot get retropie to display games properly. Nothing worked.

Also input lag. SO MUCH INPUT LAG.

Don't even waste your time. I don't even want to talk about setup.
