      Don't worry about windows. I'll help you through to get the pi 3 overclocked.

      N64 emulation is the next step :)

        Here is a better reasourse. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Overclocking

          Right from the github page :

          Manual Overclocking

          All Raspberry Pi models can be manually overclocked by editing /boot/config.txt and rebooting. Read the SSH page if you are not familiar with editing text files in Linux.

          Parameters are set like:

          parameter=value

          For example, to set the ARM to 1000MHz:

          arm_freq=1000

          Useful Parameters

          The following speed parameters can be set:

          arm_freq - speed of the ARM core
          core_freq - speed of GPU processor core, keep it the same as gpu_freq
          gpu_freq - speed of all GPU components, keep it the same as core_freq
          sdram_freq - speed of SDRAM
          sdram_schmoo - a set of SDRAM timings
          

          The following voltage parameters can be set:

          over_voltage - voltage of ARM and GPU
          over_voltage_sdram - voltage of all SDRAM parts (c, i, and p)
          

          The voltage starts at 1.2V and adjusts up or down in 0.025V steps. 0 is equal to 1.2V, the minimum -16 is 0.8V, and the maximum 8 is 1.4V. Voltage starts to help when running core/GPU/SDRAM at or over 500MHz.

          To set voltage greater than 6 you must set force_turbo=1 which voids the warranty.

          N64 emulation is the next step :)

            But @sirdevin I can get you editing that text file. Just know what you're doing! :-)

              @CodeDrawer Awesome thanks for those links. I could just use my Cooler Master V8 and throw some thermal paste on there and call it good haha XD

              I don't think I have any heat sinks laying around that would fit that. That may be a project for a later date once I've gotten some of the other parts working as I def do not want to burn out my Raspberry Pi.

              I'm assuming I can just edit the text file with Notepad++ or something right?

                @sirdevin I was thinking you could use the pi from terminal! :-D

                  @CodeDrawer through PuTTY or something?

                    So what you do first is type

                    cd /

                    that brings you to the root directory.

                    then type sudo nano /boot/config.txt

                    then you will be using the text editor! :) That should be it. If there are any questions, let me know!

                    N64 emulation is the next step :)

                      This solved my issues with being unable to exit NES games using an Xbox controller and the choppiness playing N64 games. Thanks!

                        I cannot exit out of games anymore, i upgraded, now nothing i do will allow me to exit out of games. I have a rp 3 b+, select + start used to work fine until after the update, now i have to type in a user name and pw, (pi, raspberry) and I can't exit from the games, any ideas? shortcuts? keyboard exits? I reconfigured controller, using select as the hotkey, and using the center "mode" button as the hotkey... nothing.

                              @CodeDrawer This was the ONLY thing that worked for me, I setup the keyboard as a controller and set the f12 as the hotkey with Return as the Start key, while inside a game, I pressed F12 and Return and it exited out. I could not get ANY controller to respond with a hotkey, only the keyboard.
