The raspberry PI has certainly shipped and is now in the hands of element 14 for qa testing. The arm build of MAME shows promise but we won't know til we get our hands on it. |

I’ve got a 7-8 year old single core PC with 1GB RAM in my cabinet; I bought it used in the local classifieds for dirt cheap. Unfortunately, contrary to what the seller told me, it doesn’t have a legit copy of XP running on it, but that doesn’t really matter because it is strictly an emulation box and fully isolated from the internet. It boots up almost as quickly as an iPad, and it runs every game I give a crap about without breaking a sweat. It even runs Tekken 2 at what feels like full speed—I’m sure the purists would point to all the ways it is emulated incorrectly but I can’t tell. |

Not sure if non-US customers are getting them yet though. Moot point for me, I have too many things on my plate right now so I won't be getting one to play with anytime soon. |
