I haven't, but I am going to order some to experiment with using the Raspbian Operating System. I'm going to try to create a tiny climate control/home automation and security camera system.

I saw on my facebook feed last week that they hooked one up to a XBox Kinect and made a 3d scanner.

Look into Raspbian; it's Debian but for the Raspberry PI. There are emulators and ROMS for Debian.

I've got a raspberry pi 2 that I use with Retropie as a game emulator. I've only done NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis games, but supposedly it will run N64 and Playstation 1 roms, too.

What do you use for controllers with the emulator? Is there a controller for sale that will work well? Phone Post 3.0
