Raspberry PI

Well lads,

Just got a Raspberry PI for my birthday of the wife (I swear its to keep me quite and to spend more time in the Bhoys room :P )
Just downloading the OS now, and wondering, have any of ye got one? Do ye use it for retro emulation, quake etc ??

Cheers

It's still unlikely to be able to handle Mame's HLSL though is it? Which is kind of a necessity if using an lcd/31khz...

I doubt it, still a nice upgrade and compatible with previous software and hardware(which is awesome). And still the same price

Support for windows 10 built in, will be interesting to see that!
I've ordered one to test from RS.

I think it will make sense for a bartop due to space and probably an LCD monitor.
I found lag with my B+ , we will see how these projects turn out.
Who's first?

a RGB add-on board would be awesome now they've increased the power a little.
I found the old revision Pi too slow

I've seen guys online using hdmi to VGA converter along with a downscaler(VGA to CGA) to get 15KHz RGB

Video is still either HDMI,VGA or Composite. I don't think it can output at 15KHz so unless you bit-bang RGBS out the gpio's you're stuck with a PC monitor or one of the adapter cards.

I'm going to nod my head slowly and pretend like I know what the highlighted section means...

On a brighter note it is a trisync monitor on the AWSD, so it can take a VGA cable of varying frequencies, well, three frequencies, hence the name...

Well, I look forward to the retro gaming community letting me know of the dazzling performance, or otherwise, of this new iteration.
Could be the saviour of Mame cabs everywhere.

I don't think being quad core will make any different but updating to a more modern arm architecture definitely should.

And double the RAM, i have the B+ with 512MB and its sluggish on XBMC.

I can see finally owning a Raspberry Pi in the not too distant future!

Will it run Cave shmups though?

Probably.

http://www.raspberrypi.org

A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance)
1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory)
Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1
Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Snappy Ubuntu Core, as well as Microsoft Windows 10

"Raspberry Pi 2" being released today, now using a quad core BCM2836 and 1GB of RAM.
Claims of 6x performance improvements should help with those emulation projects

Didnt think those last two worked with Saorview.

Anything designed to pick up the older analogue TV will or should work fine with Saorview.

A standard antenna I would have thought, something similar to this: (external)

I just got a Playstation 3 Play TV tuner, it's usb and is supported by the pi. Took a bit of tinkering but yeah it works great, never tried recording though. Saorview is free, all you need is a saorview device

Ah I know it's free and that I thought someone had it working like the filmon app or similar.

Soarview is there a "legal" option? Mods if not allowed just delete I'm not sure if soar view is available on pi or not just wondering.

I use mine as a media hub, both usb hard drive videos and live tv (saorview). Have a satellite usb box but it kind of struggles with it. Tried retro arch but I found the setting up of controllers a bit messy

If you're running Retro pi

To config the controllers
cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

you could try mapping start+select to the ESC key, haven't tried it myself.

What would be the cut off point on CPS1/2/3 on a Pi?

Started playing around with Raspicade on the Pi. But the details are best suited to the Arcade thread than here.

I have a similar setup except with the B. I think you need to use advance Mame as it will output to FRAMEBUFFER /dev/fb1. /dev/fb0 is the hdmi.
I could get cupcade working but its just a NES emulator. One way to get the SNES emulator ( and others I assume ) is to use https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp to copy /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb1. This works but I dont think the touchscreen works.

Yeah I used the framebuffer switch last night to change to HDMI and setup the wifi and a few other things on the Pi as it’s a nightmare to do it on the low res screen

I won’t be using this screen for the mini arcade as it’s too small and has other drawbacks, I’ll be using either 4.3 or 7” LCD for that (via composite or HDMI if I can find a suitable display at a reasonable price).
I’ll be using a customised version of Raspicade as the front end for the mini arcade machine and a keyboard encoder to hook up to real arcade controls.

Thanks, it’s the first time I’ve used this new soldering iron and it’s a bit too big for this kind of job I think.
This B+ is for testing and playing around with this type of screen and some other stuff I want to try out on it. I’ve 3 other B+ boards and one is going into a very small mini arcade machine(hopefully I can use something as the shell for the mini cab as I don’t fancy building one up from MDF etc) and another will replace another older type Raspberry Pi that’s currently in a little boat drone project I’m working on and finally the third is going into an old Kodak camera body from the 1930’s/40’s that I’ve installed the RPi camera module in.

All very nerdy stuff I’m afraid
