Title: New guy from Illinois
Post by: Goolick on August 25, 2016, 02:22:28 pm
Hello,

Stumbled across the YouTube channel while looking to setup a raspberry pi and have been hooked since.  I am brand new to the hobby but been playing video games and arcades as far back as I can remember just recently pulled the trigger on a neo geo two slot and looking to learn as I go

Thanks for having me

Some tinkering around it fixed itself the picture on the monitor looks cropped on the top and sides I tried using the knobs next to the monitor but it's still kind of cropped but small victories
