Off The Grid Arcade
« on: October 16, 2016, 03:38:21 pm »
I am wanting a replacement monitor (LCD) for an off grid project.  I looked at the USB monitors but there is no drivers for the raspberry pi or any flavour of Linux.

So now i am looking at a NUC or BRIX to use the USB monitor instead of a for parts laptop.

It has to be a small footprint and run from 5v DC or 12v DC Max.

Needs to run. 84 mame Intel or Amd.  I looked at the E1-1200 already.

Any suggestions?
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

USB monitors have display lag totally unsuitable for gaming. Most of them can't even properly handle movies. They are for spreadsheets and the like.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.
