so I installed retropie and got into some update menu and it has been updating for over an hour now. just a black screen with a bunch of white rolling text. How long will this take?

No idea what retropie is, but that screen shows it's compiling crap. Considering how weak the device is, it could be many hours before it's done if the software in question is big.

yeah i'll just wait and see.
retropie is an OS for emulating games
>>62347924
>>62347924
looks like it's compiling finalburnalpha, a multi-system emulator
that could take a while on a pi
protip: the framebuffer might be slowing you down, try switching to another tty (ctrl+alt+f1-8)
the reason is that the program gets blocked when waiting for output to print to the screen, so if the output is faster than the screen can draw it, the program runs slower

also, an indicator for this is if the scrolling has a consistent speed, like in >>62348488
, this indicates that the program isn't the one struggling to keep up, but the screen
buy a real computer, with that machine your games will be limited to older emulators and for example the last Nintendo consoles wont work
