I just compiled it for the RPI (Model B). Make sure you download and compile the latest version of GoLang.

It runs so slowly, but it's still awesome.

I'm going to try it on a Pi2 later tonight.

Excited to see how well this will help my distro PiPlay (and PetRock's RetroPie).

Can't wait to get my hands on the hardware

I ran a successful Kickstarter with what I believe to be a cruddy video. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985705009/pimame

I think there are two spectrums to successful Kickstarter videos: Over the top really well done quality videos, and super low budget (read: $0) iMovie videos that show sincerity.

Anywhere in between that and you come off looking like a scam.

My coworker thinks it should've been called the Fire Torch

Instructure's learning management system called Canvas is built in RoR and is open source.

Great idea. I've had something like this on the backburner as well. Congrats on making it a reality!

Looks nice too :)

The GeChic's do come with a mounting clip for laptops. I have one.

I run the PiPlay (piplay.org) project. It can run PSX games VERY well. Most at full speed.

This is amazing! -Shea

Yes, a few. The biggest difference is that PiPlay includes a web frontend that enables drag and drop loading of game files, as well as controlling different settings.

RetroPie is built off of lib-retro and RetroArch using EmulationStation as a front end.

PiPlay is an sd card image with a custom frontend (configured using yaml) and individually compiled emulators.

You could add many different programs, not just emulators, to the frontend.

What about join.me?

As the maintainer of the PiMAME distro, Thanks! If you have any questions we have an active forum at http://pimame.org

CPS1 can work depending on the game. CPS2 has not worked for me except for D&D.

NeoGeo games work extremely well with GNGeo.

Playstation games work great with PCSX_reARMed.

SNES games work great with PiSNES.

Genesis emulation is working ok with DGEN

Also you can use the PiMAME installer script on top of any Raspbian install, rather than using the image.

Installer available on github: https://github.com/ssilverm/pimame_installer

Glad to see you're using my image :) PiMAME is built on top of Raspbian, so you still have the Pi Store available.

I'm using PiSNES, which is based off SNES9 + DispMANX. makes it run really smoothly

I've been working on this for a couple of months. I would love to have some more collaborators on the code.

It emulates Neo Geo, MAME, SNES, and Playstation systems.

This is really awesome. Back when I was helping work on Pingie (an rss->sms service), I put some of this functionality into it (weather reports, stock quotes, traffic reports).

Good luck with this!

Yep. I recently launched PiMAME.org - Most of the info is on http://blog.sheasilverman.com, but this weekend I plan on updating the main site.

Right now includes AdvanceMAME, GNGeo (NeoGeo), and PCSX_ReARMed (Playstation).

The installer is available on github: http://github.com/ssilverm/pimame_installer

I'm planning on adding AdvanceMESS, SNES9x, and MAME4All this weekend.

If anyone wants a quick way to play Arcade and Playstation games on their Raspberry Pi, I'm maintaining a distro that does just that: http://pimame.org

I've been blogging for about a year now, and I have been getting a consistant growing readership. The best advice I ever read about blogging was have a scheduled post.

I do one post every friday, even if I have very little going on.

I still write blog posts throughout the week, but it's only when I want too.

My Friday post is a have-to commitment I've made. It makes it easier for my readers to know when to come to my site.

Link to pre-order giving anyone else a 404?

Would love to check it out. I'm currently using a Teensy Arduino to offload as much as I can. I have a huge space constraint, so the smaller the PCB the better :)

Good Luck! Would love to collaborate with my DeskCade project for the Raspberry Pi.

I've been working on the DeskCade for a while now:

It's been featured on the frontpage of RaspberryPi.org and the Orlando Sentinel.

Good luck with your kickstarter!
