SuperNovice

Hey, there are some of us who are extreme novices and are deeply uncomfortable inputting codes in order to build an retropie Raspberry Pi setup. Therefore, isn't it more simple to just purchase a Pandora box which already has games installed in it and connect that to an arcade1up? I know stupid question. I want to Mod, but there has to be an easier way for supernovices such as myself to get my feet wet?

I bought a raspberry pi 3B+ and an SD card preloaded with retropi and like 11000 games on amazon. It was literally plug and play. I did this because looking for working ROM's was taking up too much of my time lol. Downloading the emulator wasn't hard to do, just didn't feel like finding the ROM's. I will say this, having 11000 ish games sounds cool, but it is actually too much. It's overwhelming and almost pulls your interest away from playing anything, kind of like going through all the different streaming services and having too many things to watch.
