Piplay (formally pimame) kick starter for R-pi & BeagleBone Black

(1/6) > >>

Locke141:
There is a kick starter to help improve Pi-play, a gaming/emulation optimized operating system for the Raspberry Pi.

I kicked in and thought some here may be interested. It runs for 8 more days.

Here is the developers web site:

Update: They added optical theme support to the menu.

Update 2: So with a little more then two days lest the kick starter is now $446 from its stretch goal of $10,000 to port to BeagleBone Black.

nadcraker:
What kinds of games is the Raspberry Pi suited for? Can it play 90's era games or just the classics?

Locke141:
Depends,

I am down loading piplay now so have not tried Mame on it yet. But looks like Mame is mostly classics.

The developer wrote that on Gengeo (Neo Geo emulator) he has "King of Fighters 98 is running at 60fps. It looks lovely."..."King of Fighters 98, Metal Slug X, and Samurai Shodown 2 at full speed with no issues"

Its not going to play every thing but I would say it does a lot for a $35 credit card size computer.

I backed it.  I hope he makes it to $10,000.  I want this ported to the BeagleBone Black.  I want to see what it can do.
