            Here are some screenshots of my RetroPie v1.9 build from May 2014.

            0_1500753756000_nes.png
            This was a theme for NES I was working on in EmulationStation 1.0. before RetroPie v2 with ES 2.0 was released in July 2014.

            0_1500753798218_snes.png
            There was no systems screen in EmulationStation 1.0; it was straight to the games list. I would use left and right on the D-pad to navigate between systems. It could take a few seconds for ES to wake up and respond to the key press so I would press the D-pad again (and again). ES would move past the system I wanted so I had to scroll back.

            0_1500753933439_doom.jpg
            The Doom theme needed some work.

            0_1500753888038_input-config.png
            This was the last screen in ES before I would need to scroll left for the other systems. I never used it as there wasn't any documentation available explaining its purpose. This was my first install guide for connecting a PS3 controller via bluetooth. After using it, I became accustomed to editing config files manually, something I still prefer to do in the latest version of RetroPie.

            Booting up v1.9 on my RasPi 1 Model B took me back to the day when I first installed RetroPie via the setup script. I started around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and I was ready to play my first game at 10pm. It was definitely worth it.

            Over the years, It's been a pleasure to have seen the many improvements in RetroPie so that I can install it and be playing inside half an hour. Many thanks to those concerned for their hard work.

              So much has changed.

                @lilbud The most important introduction to EmulationStation 2.0 was the ability to shut down the Pi safely from the options menu. The only way I found to do this in my v1.9 build was to run sudo shutdown -h now via SSH.

                  @dudleydes said in Whats The Date Again?: Episode II:

                  sudo shutdown -h now

                  If I had a dollar for every time I typed sudo shitdown -h now instead of shutdowni'd be rich

                        @itsnitro Think it'd be okay for me to use this in a video splashscreen?

                          @pjft Not vibrant - pulsating and of course healthy.

                              @itsnitro I was about to, but then I realized that the song is 40sec long, a bit too much for a video splashscreen.

                              Besides, I remembered Mario Paint Composer and am trying to make music

                                  @itsnitro Nah, it's okay.

                                  What software did you use?

                                      @itsnitro Looks a bit too complicated for me, I'll just stick to Mario Paint Composer

                                        @lilbud Yeah, stick with that.

                                        Or you could use GarageBand or something, idk.
                                        or Famitracker.

                                            @lilbud Sounds pretty good! The chords (the 3 notes playing at the same time) are a little off, but other than that it's great!
