Raspberry Pi vs a 60 in 1 for a Cocktail Cabinet
Diet_Pepsi:
I have not had to run any dedicated software solutions. I am running win 7 64bit on all my machines with MAME .146. For fun i tried it on my netbook, which has an AMD c-60 dual core running at 1.0 ghz. I was shocked at what that thing can run. Even stuff like metal slug and Batrider were running with no problems.
Maximus:
I played with one of these sticks a while back at work to see if it had potential as a dumb terminal, since then they have gotten much more powerful, I'd be interested to see if I could load one of these up with MAME4Droid Reloaded 0.139 to start in menu mode and run the roms through a hacked together USB/Jamma converter of some kind
$62 buys you a lot of computing power these days...

I have a setup with an atom d510, 32gb ssd and a pico power supply, and, I must admit, it is strangely satisfying to run it with zero background fan noise.

Agreed. If you top that off with USB stick for a hard drive, you have sheer solid state bliss.

I'm surprised more guys aren't running these in mini cabs.
Diet_Pepsi:
Wow. I guess if they are shipping these platforms inside mobile phones, why not in a stick computer?
I might have to pick one of these up and start testing...
