Note: For systems like the SNES, you may be required to overclock your Pi all the way to
the highest setting or else you'll notice some performance issues. It's not recommended as
it could reduce the lifetime of your device. Do so at your own risk, but just know it's an
option for speed increase.

You should now be booting into emulation station, with a listing of all your
Emulators + Roms to choose from.
I ran through this write up rather fast, so if you run into any issues setting it up
please let me know.
