I bought myself a Raspberry Pi. Guess what I will do with it? Correct, retro gaming!There's a great project called Retropie. Take a look at the features:
Turrican 2 (Amiga), Sim City 2000 (DOSBox), a couple of SNES games, Tetris (Gameboy), Chip's Challenge (Lynx).
Here are some pictures of the games I played.
- Complete installation of all available emulators that are supported by the RetroPie Setup Script (see section “supported systems/emulators for details”)
- Automatic start of Emulation Station, the front-end for browsing and running the ROMs. Emulation Station is maintained by Aloshi, who is also hosting the sources of Emulation Station at Github.
- Pre-configured splash screen that can be customized with the RetroPie-Setup Script
- SAMBA shares for each system for copying ROMs on the RPi via network
- USB daemon for copying ROMs on the RPi via USB stick
- download and install the software image on my SD card
- configure my USB joypad (acutally it's the original SNES pad connected with USB adapter)
- connect RasPi to ethernet and my TV
- start it up
- copy some roms (easy as the RasPi starts a samba share and ssh server)
- play the games on my 48 inch LED TV
