Retro Pie from Ebay
-
@ClassicGMR I own a soft modded Xbox 128gb and had a chipped Xbox 5 years ago I modded and soldered myself. I could have built my own Retro Pie unit, but, took the easy route lol, but the plan is to build an arcade unit. Nice to meet you my dude! I may build my own Retro Pie unit down the line for all my rooms.

The RetroPie license does not allow selling it - especially with ROMs (which are most likely illegal). You've enriched a scammer - not the first occurrence on this forum, and certainly not the last. However, note that we don't support such systems.

@mitu Nice tag! :)

@mitu I knew willingly roms are free,I've downloaded 35 gigs worth over the years. I love Retro Pie. I can't consider it to be a scammer, they supplied my needs. What feels like a scam, is the fact in the 80s and 90s our parents paid 50 dollars plus per game for games we can download for free now....that's not a scammer, that's a model citizen. They provided a service I needed lol

That doesn't make it legit or legal.

@mitu could be worse, games have been preserved because of forums like these, and the Mame forums over the years. These our child hood memories, can't put a price on it. People pay for what they want in life.

You were scammed even if you did it willingly. And it wasn't just you, every person who has contributed to the retropie project was also scammed and is just one more straw you added to the camel's back in associated the project with piracy by rewarding those who steal for their own personal gain.
You have no respect from me.

@herb_fargus don't need your respect fool

@Scrooge80 you're insulting the people who develop the software you are using. Software they make for free, and then someone turns around and sells for a profit. Instead of being apologetic about it, you have an attitude. When you are in someone else's house it's usually polite to play by their rules.

You Sir ,are an asshole.
-
@Scrooge80 I'm not sure you've signed up to this forum with the right intentions, or the right attitude. I mean in your first post you talk about buying an illegal premade image, and then you insult one of the forum admins! My advice (take it or leave it) if you want to be taken seriously on this forum then refrain from the above in future. By all means discuss the games you used to play, and provide help to others if you can, but leave the rest out of it. Else you'll be branded as someone who has joined just to cause trouble.

@DorkVonWaterfall coming from a guy named Dork, u are a dick head

The more I've seen from Scrooge, the more I feel that he's just a troll at this point. I had an inkling this would happen, but ah well.
-
Woah you take a break from the forums for a day and you miss all the fun also @Scrooge80 dude come on if you cant be bothered to take half an hour to bare bones set up a system how are you even finding time to play games bottom line dont buy from scumbag scammers
-
I figured it was going to happen, wasn't a matter of it, twas only a matter of when.

I'm pretty sure people doing sex tourism in thailand say exactly the same, it doesn't make it right though. How you proved to everyone that you were a complete asshole was pretty impressive, congratulations.

It's not really worth replying anymore since he's banned. But I saw it coming from the first post really. I was just trying to be nice about it.
-
Well that's five minutes wasted. Sheesh.
-
@goobatroopa if you laughed then i disagree but if you did not then yeah
-
@Superman550 no laughing here buddy. Just surprised that it wasn't recognised from the first post that he was looking for a rise.
