On Windows you will need to install the sparkfun drivers though since it uses it's bootloader files, the links are in the All In One thread's first post...

Re: My screen is barely readable

In /boot/config.txt you can modify this line to change the console resolution: #framebuffer_width=320 #framebuffer_height=240 Just remove the hashtags and set the resolution to what the screen outputs (most are 320*240) To get larger text on the emulation station themes you have to modify the theme...
