Check out this $35 PC!?!?!

My main problem with running a lower version of mame is the lack of extended features. I think outputs were added around version .110 so that idea I had about a drop-in replacement for pcbs with output isn't going to work easily. Take that, the fact that it's hdmi out, and the apparent limitations of a arm processor into consideration and basically what you've got is a cheap tablet, which can already run mame but has the added benefit of a touchscreen.
The compact size is definately impressive, but as we are getting more info in regards to a potential price hike, even more delays and the limits of what you can do with the thing easily... I'm less and less excited.

Well my expectation of the Raspi is the chance to write my thesis on green computing: The five volt cloud.
I'm sure that little fellow will run a few instances of Tiny Core inside Qemu. Well at least 10 with Woof.
Mame will have to take a back seat I am afraid. ;D

It's almost like you're trying to talk english or summink :D

I don't think I've played a real machine since the 80s, but DK plays very differently, and in ways more interestingly, in current MAME. A lot of games do. Anyone will notice. You don't need a dual core to play these games (though you might need a newer video card if using HLSL), but even low P4s aren't going to cut it.

Mine ships on April 3rd, so I expect to have a working machine a few days after that. I've seen a boat load of Linux distro's being released for it so I'm ready to go with that. The big Linux distro that want's nothing to do with Raspberry Pi is Ubuntu because the arm processor is a generation behind what they want to support. Fedora however is fully supporting it to I'll probably grab that and test it first before I move to Scientific Linux or Zorin/Tiny Core and go with super small Linux flavors.
I'd love to get Arch Linux working on it but Arch is not a fan of Arm procs, so we'll see.
