Raspberry Pi discussion - But can it run PSX games? - Hardware & Software

Got my Raspberry Pi about a week ago which now runs two of my Discord bots and I am now developing a framework for Facepunch Cinema and Facepunch Hub on it, it provides a pretty safe developing envoirment, so far i am impressed how snappy it is. In the future i will buy a second Raspberry Pi 3 for my arcade cabinet that i will start working on next summer, already worked it out how the cabinet will look like and it will have some cool things like reactive RGB lightning and stereo speakers. Also answer to the title: Yes it can

I'm still using an OG Model B Pi as a pi-hole. I keep considering upgrading to a pi 3 and doing something else with it (mini nextcloud, maybe) alongside pihole duties. I am kinda surprised it hasn't died from its temps though.

I have a Raspberry Pi listening to US and Russian Weather Satellites, every day I get the weather fresh from the sky.

i use one of them as a fancy dust collector. as for the other one, fancy dust collector 3. sometimes i use them for testing code on linux systems, yea i could use a vm, but wheres the fun of seeing the boot screen when you plug in a pi. hope to find a more permanent usage for them in the coming months. otherwise i use an arduino for electronics control.

got a few around the house, doing various things - pi 2 - pi hole pi 3 - wired up to a plush dog. can make it say things using a built in speaker and servo in the mouth. pi zero - video picture frame, originally built it to stream the live ISS feed. right now it shuffles/loops through how it's made episodes from a usb stick pi zero - attached to a 2.6 inch TFT display in a small custom case. haven't found a use for this yet but it's pretty to look at pi zero w - wifi bathroom scale. the pi's a bit overkill for this application, but i had a spare. would probably replace with an esp8266 if it ever broke pi zero w - security camera. still working on this one, looking to build atleast 1-2 more as well once I work out all the kinks

Still rocking my original Model B I got back in Dec 2012, its been a faithful file & printer server. I'm still wanting to set it up as a 2m/70cm monitoring station with my RTL-SDR dongle (Maybe for APRS receiving). My Pi 2 has been in my car for about a year/half now acting as my main music player (Just wrote a small script that generates a playlist from all MP3s on an attached flash drive). Of course with the advent of me finally getting a smartphone it's fallen by the wayside but I'm planning to give it new life by attaching a couple of cameras to it, an ODBII-USB adapter, a touchscreen and a BT/BTLE dongle and an RTL-SDR dongle as a car diagnostic/dashcam/mobile Ham receiver/infotainment system that connect to my phone (Maybe by casting to it?). Last upcoming Pi I'll probably get for awhile will be a Pi Zero W. I'll attach a No-IR camera + IR LEDs and make a security camera out if it that links via my WiFi.

Bought an RPi3b in March 2016 and used it as a desktop until june last year, an interesting experience. Worked out better than I thought. Once I got eduke32 and crispy doom + eureka (level editor for doom) it was actually really fun for a while. I've tried out pihole but not sure why I didn't stick with it, propably because dnsmasq was bitching about something after I setup DNSSEC + DNSCrypt, even though that worked fine for a while. Might give it another try once they got their code rewritten in python. Currently it's hooked to my TV with Kodi installed and runs 24/7.

What's the best way to connect to a PPTP/L2TP VPN on a Raspbian? I ended up installing gnome network manager and disabling the built-in network manager, which allowed me to do PPTP. Googling the problem gives you about 20 different ways to set up your own VPN server, rather than connecting to one as a client

What use do you guys have for RasPi's if you have a dedicated Linux machine already? I feel like I want to do stuff related to house automation, but at the point I'd need multiple RasPi's or Arduinos, right?

You could connect it to a TV and use it for an easy way to view things on the TV (as opposed to wirelessly streaming from your main computer). I'm not sure on the home automation side, I know if you're an iPhone user you can set up HomeBridge to add devices to HomeKit which it doesn't support by default. Something I've wanted to try.

AFAIK there was some open source program that allowed you to control multiple systems. I currently have mine running as an Opendronemap-Server, Seedbox for uptime hogging on torrents, PIHole and NAS

Hoe hot does a Pi get? Would encasing it metal be a bad idea? Or rubber?

not very, but the cpu does get disproportionately hot so you want at least a small heatsink on it otherwise it handles even enclosed cases fine

i had a rpi3 but i lost it so i'm tempted to buy the newest rpi3 that came out. prolly gonna use it as a pihole and a vpn to my house when i'm connected to free wifi places i also have a pi zero w that i bought and soldered headers on for a hackathon project but we never ended up using it

Ah thank you I'm putting it in a metal gauntlet so I just wanted to make sure

Anybody else get the microcenter deal of a pi zero W for $3.14? It was limit 1 per customer otherwise I would've stocked up on like ten. These things are so darn useful.

I've got 2 Pi 3s, a pi zero, and a pi zero w One of my Pi 3s is a Kodi/retropi box for my bedroom running osmc and I bought a zero usb stem to turn it into a usb PC. Just gotta solder that puppy on (first time soldering something too) I still don't know what I'm gonna use my zero w or my other pi for yet

Setup RasPBX and enter the world of needlessly complicated home telephony.

Yeah I picked up a Raspberry Pi 3-B recently to build a emulation station, shit's cash as fuck.

I found the model 2 can't run n64 or ps games. I actually just got into PS1 modding so I do have a lot of chips.

I ordered myself a zero W and an e-paper display that fits on top of it, should all be in wednesday my dad lent me two 3B's, one in an official touch screen case (in which the screen was apparently mounted upside-down and the view-angle looks goofy if you set it on a table like it's supposed to sit), and the other has a SENSE hat on top, which I mostly wanted to toy with due to having the RGB matrix. Apparently it reads the temp 20 degrees too hot because the board gets super warm when fitted directly onto the pi, like it's shown on its own store page, whoops

Jesus Christ Dai becareful. You're dealing with a cursed object there

Oh yeah so I got that Zero USB Stem onto my Pi. First time soldering something so I was a bit nervous but I think it turned out alright Thing looks great and works like a dream. I can bridge my computer's internet too if I want https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110730/77ac3eb3-85ed-4a59-ae26-04c3d86510f3/Untitled.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110730/0b741a4a-c952-4605-9969-9bb331daf161/20180319_220418.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110730/c1f9dbb7-2b4c-456a-819d-79d6876a6446/20180319_220405.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110730/e0c7d9e9-4135-4938-a4bc-e65937c84cde/20180319_220351.jpg
