    Also. If I do not have credit card can withdraw money from the CEC directly from the employee or Western Union? (Not money sent from my account)

  • I managed to install RetroPie on a netbook with Linux Mint 17.
    The installation took several hours, but in the end it works. One problem would be that in the absence of a USB controller the commands have to be done from the keyboard and it is a bit difficult to control.
