ANyone else using a Raspberry PI

Post by tomsk »

Just stumbled across these few interesting projects that all use the little bugger as the primary hardware. Anyone else getting one (or got one) and putting it to some good old fashioned retro (ab)use ?
Mine is due to arrive anytime (yeah, thats what they said 2 weeks ago too!)
Just wondering about config of a joystick as well....only two USB ports (keys and mouse) I wonder if another USB device added via a USB adaptor/extender could be added without additional power concerns.

That last one, much as I enjoy seeing Sub's mini arcade cabinets, this is just the dogs bollocks....perhaps some bespoke gfx on the side to finish it off.

My wife ordered mine, last summer and It took about 6 months before I got mine, which is the new version with more RAM. I've been using it as an XBMC media player, but plan on doing some retro gaming on it. Maybe build a Mini-Cab :) Steve I'm looking at you :)
