I registered my interest but don’t expect to see one for 3 months or so. That’s not a bad thing as hopefully there will some cases and things available by then. |

I sold my Raspberry Pi after a week because I couldn't get it to work. Still, I got double what I paid for it in the first place, which was nice. (I never intended to profiteer, incidentally.) |

Is that because it was broken or because it didn't work as you expected? |

Mine turned up last week, I extracted a Linux ISO onto a 16GB SD and it worked a treat. Ordered a 32GB from memorybits a week ago and its still not here  (the 16GB is out of my camera)What I need to do next is get a screen that takes HDMI or get a DVI adaptor, I had it plugged into my TV for the test. All in a nice thing to have, I had to wait at least 5 months for it though. |

When are they going to get the X server to be hardware accelerated with the GPU? That's all that's really holding me back for the project I have in mind. |

The big question is, will they now do a cut-down version called Electron while beefing up the main one to Master [128|Compact]? Wait, there was a Model C, wasn't there? |

I intend to use mine as a media centre (using Raspbmc).

Old Thread - New Post! I've just bought meself a Pi3 on a whim. Probably going to install Amibian (bootable amiga emulation) on one card and RetroPie on another for console emulation. Or... play with it for a few days then forget I had it. |

The PS1 emulation seems to work well on the Pi3. Even the rumble works if you use the USB Xbox pad. Well, it works for Gran Turismo anyway as that's the only game that I legally own. Might have to legally own a few more... |

I decided to get a new memory card for my pi 3 b and give that retropie thing a try. Chucked a few super famicom games at it and it appears to rnu like a very slow piece of dog shit. Wondering if I'm missing something. |

Dont think so. (and would rather hope everything was in memory by that point anyway.) It's intermittent but predictable. |

Then I dunno. I've never used a Famicom rom, personally (no Japanese) so there *might* be an issue with frame rates... I'm totally guessing now. |

Wondering if I'm missing something. You probably are just missing something - what rom's are they - stuff that uses FX chips can be a bit more hit and miss than basic / standard ROMS |
