MiniNES Now Upgraded for the Latest Raspberry Pi v2/B Model. What's Your Opinion on This Exciting Update? I'd love to hear your thoughts about this experience, it was truly an incredible learning opportunity! **Known Challenges:** Posts must be made larger for optimal stability reasons (this was discovered after experimenting with option 2 @ 1/4"). To date, a Micro-USB hole still needs to be incorporated. As a workaround, a Dremel hole is currently utilized. A dedicated hole in the back for the power cable isn't being used right now. This can potentially change. The lid also needs to be ever so slightly wider for proper fitting purposes. **Future Updates for V2:** For future versions, one key aim would be to place the Raspberry Pi into a more central position with the intent of minimizing excess cable clutter inside the casing, effectively putting wasted space to use. Another idea is adding USB extensions directly at the front where original NES controllers typically were placed. The route of fiber optics could also be directed towards where Power Led's traditional placement was on the original console. Making the buttons fully functional would definitely enhance overall usability for end-users. Upgrading the current 3D printer I use to avoid unnecessary warping issues in prints. **Advice for Others:** To install MiniNES effectively on Raspberry Pi, I recommend downloading RetroPie first (check out this link http://goo.gl/kxyQmO) Next, ensure you copy the correct image to your MicroSD card via the given source http://goo.gl/1vAUij For complete setup instructions, please consult these guidelines provided here http://goo.gl/oEE4O1 Last but not least, for proper integration of Xbox 360 controllers, consider following this particular setup guide - http://goo.gl/3bPC52
