Dunno if you can connect a DVD drive to it (through USB maybe) but it can do 1080p video with XBMC. At least, that's what I've heard (and seen in Linux Format magazine).

I've had an RPi sitting on my desk for a little over a month... Didn't do much yet with it except install the Debian Squeeze image and an eggdrop. I wanted to use mine as a platform for testing dev stuff that will eventually run on a higher powered ARM/OpenGL ES device. It's pretty under powered though - I'm sure it can handle emulating some real older systems, but probably not much more than that.

Well, like I said, the X Window System isn't hardware accelerated, running any sort of GUI is going to drain performance until some of the rendering is done on the GPU. That's exactly why I'm going to run it headless while I set SDL's video driver to fbcon, which Mednafen will in turn use.
Until normal windows can utilize the GPU, it's probably best to develop for the RPi like you would an embedded device, e.g. reducing your resources whenever you can. There's no need to have a window manager for games when the games themselves can just draw to the framebuffer, though for other apps, you'll have to get creative and make your own interface. 08-04-2012, 04:43 AM
let me know how progress is i gonna buy also one its only 30 euros
fun board to experiment with it and make a multi-emulator for it it might even run a N64 and ps1 emu it have support for OpenGL ES 2.0. 08-04-2012, 09:34 AM
I've been meaning to get one of these since they were announced. However I don't really have a use for it. By the way, there are at least three threads which the Pi has taken over, so did we need a new one?

Where are they? Didn't see any dedicated threads about it, just brief mentionings in other threads. Besides, the topic is about my Raspberry Pi, not any of yours :p I actually haven't even started working on all of the cool software I said I wanted (the game log, game library/emu-launcher, but that's what the entire weekend if for. Guess I should also go to the store and buy myself a decent SD card (the only two I have are being used by my camera and the Wii). 08-07-2012, 03:18 AM
It's here! Just arrived at my door like 5 minutes ago. I'm gonna set it up before I go to work. I programmed a basic game launcher over the weekend, gotta port that and compile mednafen. Time to hack!
