Anyone seen UDOO on kickstart?
spoot:
Thanks for the link.......looks like it'd be great for the embedded project I'm designing atm.

From a big picture perspective there are things this platform would do that I can't do with a Raspberry Pi/Arduino combination but the price point is quite high.

Seriously, check out the BeagleBone. $40-45 buys you a dual core Cortex A8 at 1ghz with the prototyping ability of an Arduino with PWM and shields.

Unless you really need something tiny, I just don't get the point of this. As others have pointed out, you can get 2nd hand PCs for less, and they'll do a better job of things. ARM boards are great, and they certainly have their place, but they're far from ideal for emulator cabinets. Raw horsepower aside, most emulators have a lot more optimization behind them for the x86 architecture. The ARM ports are not nearly so refined, so both speed and accuracy suffer. After dropping several hundred bucks (at least) on a cabinet build, why cheap out on the brains?

Well you get away with a good chunk of games with this cheap tablet, and you get a screen too!
