Thanks for the fast feedback Herb,
Good to hear, then it should only be a matter of getting it online to fix almost everything.
I have a ethernet cable connected to the pi but i am not able to get it online. I understand from forums it should be no configuration needed, just plug and play.
From "ifconfig" i get this:
et0 Link encap:ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb2b:cd:90

Any suggestions?
I also still hope to get some help to understand what I am doing wrong with the USB. I tried reneabling the USB rom service. I also need some guide here. I found an instruction on how to do it, and used these commands.
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
However, I then get the same error message I described in the first post.
Regarding sound. I added "hdmi_drive=2" to the config.txt using "sudo nano" command to force HDMI. This did not change anything, however I should add that the pi is connected to the monitor(not a tv with speakers), and I have a head set connected directly to the pi. But I believe that when the internet is connected I should be able to make this work anyway.
Thanks.
