    @russkil I think @dankcushions said it best. It just depends on the build, case, and how you run your setup.

    I run a Pi3 without overclocking, and for the arcade games that I wanted to play, I was easily able to push it over the threshold and saw performance suffer as a result.

    I cut a square off of an old Pentium sink and polished it smooth, then stuck it onto my CPU using Arctic Silver. No fan. I have never seen a temperature related issue since, so I will do this on all of my Pi3 systems from now on.

    I echo the comments above regarding self-adhesive applications. They can work if the stuff is thermally conductive, but how can you know what you are getting? Having a tiny dab of actual thermal adhesive is a good fallback.

    Regarding paste vs. adhesive, both will work. The adhesive hardens while the paste remains liquid, but the paste is thick stuff and it dries a bit with hot/cool cycles and it is very sticky (don't over apply). Mine sink has not moved a bit since I added it (and the Pi is attached upside-down inside my cabinet), but I could grab the sink it and twist it right off if I wanted to--so thermal adhesive is probably the safer route.

    I also don't like what scalpers are doing, they're even listing the SNES mini on eBay while they don't even own the thing?!?!

    @Starcade2084 Cool, I have 2 ps4 controllers for my main use. These are for my 4 year old. I want something basic, easy to use and cheap for her to play seasame street and little mermaid with. She has a few good years before is ready for analog sticks! I also have this: Post with my Donkey Kong 3 Cabinet and I am currently working on a TMNT bartop arcade for my office as well, so i have plenty of authentic controls for my arcade, FBA/Capcom/Neogeo games!

    @Capeman I watched this a few months ago, and whats funny is I actually did a T-spin on the Grand Master 2/Mame version... but I had no idea how i did it, or that it was even called a T-spin. Currently trying to beat all of the RetroAchievements on the NES Tetris, just got three left haha. These guys are incredible though.

    @buddyscott Now if only we could have match making servers, then I bet the Retropie community would probably explode.

    @thedeathstar said in Is RetroPie the new xbmc / kodi? Discuss.:

    The only thing I have ever used a keyboard for was my wifi password. I also had to use a mouse to scroll down during the controller setup in Kodi, but that might have been the build I was using.

    Those are the biggest things I had in mind, yeah. The wifi thing wouldn't be quite so bad if it at least managed to remember wifi networks, but what it's doing currently is that if you go connect to a wifi network somewhere else, but then bring your PI back home later, it won't remember your home network at all. Then what makes that even worse is that you need to get in with SSH sometimes to do a safe reboot, and can't do that if there's no wifi, so it's really not safe to run the thing without a network, and since setting up a network requires a keyboard, it's not safe to take it anywhere without a keyboard.

    Best you can do is just teach people that they are being duped to pay for free stuff.
