[QUOTE=cwook;34183966]I made a Raspberry Pi wallpaper for myself, feel free to use it. Res is 1920x1080, not doing anything else [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/dcWco.png[/IMG_thumb][/QUOTE] Crisp version please? :D
My shitty inkscape vectorized version [QUOTE][IMG]http://puu.sh/ddBe[/IMG][/QUOTE] Edit: better one[QUOTE] [IMG]http://puu.sh/ddF5[/IMG][/QUOTE]
Is there any news on when these things will be ready to order?
[QUOTE=latin_geek;34185219]My shitty inkscape vectorized version Edit: better one[/QUOTE] 3360x1080 version please? :D [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] Don't worry, made my own 1920x1080 version. Enjoy! [t]http://i.imgur.com/tReRX.png[/t] [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] Made a darker one: [t]http://i.imgur.com/mXezq.png[/t] And a black one: [t]http://i.imgur.com/elDy1.png[/t]
Once this is released, I'll be buying a Model B Raspberry Pi, a Micro-USB 5v charger, a USB hub (powered), and a USB dvd-drive. I'll load the XBMC for ARM port on to it (when available), hook it all up inside an empty PS2 case, and see how well it works as a media center. I'll post results. [editline]But[/editline] The external DVD drive is going to be more expensive than the Raspberry Pi :v: I might rip one out of an older computer and use a Sata/IDE to USB converter.

It's a Deathstar so no wonder it's broken.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;34180739]Someone please tell me there's an ARM/Linux compatible MAME, SNES, or maybe even N64 emulator.[/QUOTE] MAME, SNES, Megadrive, Gameboy Advance, etc... and I think you could even emulate Playstation games. Anything less powerful than a Playstation is going to run fine (aside from maybe Sega 32X). I'm not sure about N64, though
by the way, cool banner
I'm thinking of getting my 5 year old niece one for her birthday, is that cruel? (that's if it's out by November :P)
Already drawing a few contraptions that i could use with Raspberry Pi Are you able to host a BYOND server on it?
[QUOTE=darth-veger;34190435]Already drawing a few contraptions that i could use with Raspberry Pi Are you able to host a BYOND server on it?[/QUOTE] Even if it's ARM compatible (I have no idea) I'm doubtful the CPU is fast enough since BYOND does literally everything server-side.
[QUOTE=darth-veger;34190435]Are you able to host a BYOND server on it?[/QUOTE] Can you compile the server to ARM/are there ARM binaries available? If yes, then yes. (I have no idea what BYOND is)
I might grab one and make a wrist-watch computer thingie.
Are there any "exact" release dates for it yet? I don't want to get my hopes up of it being obtainable in a short amount of time v:v:v
I wonder if this thing can run Windows 8? Win8 is going to have an ARM build, after all. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] Oops, bad reading. It's already been asked and apparently the Pi doesn't have enough RAM. Darn.

[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;34191023]I might grab one and make a wrist-watch computer thingie.[/QUOTE] Too big for that size, not to mention it uses too much power.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;34194942]I know the hardware will be able to run them, but have people made emulators for all of those consoles that work with linux under an ARM cpu?[/QUOTE] Well now there's soon added motivation to-do so.
How hard would it be to create a casing? Otherwise I'd make a watch computer running Windows XP.
[QUOTE=Aerkhan;34195082]How hard would it be to create a casing? Otherwise I'd make a watch computer running Windows XP.[/QUOTE] It Can't run XP. Its a ARM CPU. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] In a Min I'm going to make a youtube FAQ.
[QUOTE=Aerkhan;34195082]How hard would it be to create a casing? Otherwise I'd make a watch computer running Windows XP.[/QUOTE] You can't run XP on it. And you really wouldn't want to.
Stop talking about putting the damn things on watches [IMG]http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PC236526-1024x768.jpg[/IMG] Look at the size of the USB port. Do you really want to have that on your wrist?

[QUOTE=ief014;34182531]Anyone else planning to make a gaming console out of this thing? I plan on making something like a gaming console interface to select games on the system. Plug in a controller and play the games on it. Plugs into a TV too, seems almost like an actual gaming console.[/QUOTE] I have a big idea along these lines.

With a screen the same size and perhaps some kind of wireless keyboard/mouse (like [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/2-4GHz-Wireless-Rii-Keyboard-Touchpad/dp/B004FSFYG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326401832&sr=8-1]this[/url]) it could easily be wrist mounted.
It'd look like a pipboy wait holy shit genius
[QUOTE=latin_geek;34195510]It'd look like a pipboy wait holy shit genius[/QUOTE] You're late on that one, someone said they were making a Pip-boy like thing at the start of this thread AND before hand on the Raspberry Pi forums.
Making a pip-boy would be awesome, though very hard and takes alot of skill. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] I won't do it, probably.

But the digitizer will take up the USB slot, so you'll have to use a USB hub if you want to connect more than one. But because of the limited power given by the board, you'd need a powered USB hub, needing more power etc.
