I'm not great with code and getting that far took me a weekend. But welldone on the vids very easy to follow even for a thick like me. Was hoping I could download a finished image some were with controls and screen set looks like ill stick to PC for now.

Feel free to PM me if you need a hand. Messing with cfg files is awkward alright I will give you that. What resolution are you running everything in? 720p? 1080p? I think Emulation Station from the bat is designed to run rather well with composite resolutions so some emulators are set to 480p (or 480i) on purpose in order to make it look pretty on older CRT TVs. Should be easy enough to change though. If you need a full desktop to work with quit back to the command like and type in 'startx'. This will start the regular Raspbian desktop which should be easier for you to work with in regards to editing cfg files etc. It'll certainly make it easier to navigate instead of using bash (the command line).
Standard default Pi: arm_freq=700 core_freq=250 sdram_freq=400 over_voltage=0 Stable Overclock on my B+: arm_freq=1000 core_freq=500 sdram_freq=600 over_voltage=6

This B+ is for testing and playing around with this type of screen and some other stuff I want to try out on it. I’ve 3 other B+ boards and one is going into a very small mini arcade machine(hopefully I can use something as the shell for the mini cab as I don’t fancy building one up from MDF etc) and another will replace another older type Raspberry Pi that’s currently in a little boat drone project I’m working on and finally the third is going into an old Kodak camera body from the 1930’s/40’s that I’ve installed the RPi camera module in. All very nerdy stuff I’m afraid

I could get cupcade working but its just a NES emulator. One way to get the SNES emulator ( and others I assume ) is to use https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp to copy /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb1. This works but I dont think the touchscreen works.
