That's very cool! :-D

God knows how long it'll take before they start shipping RPs to general customers though, after all the promo stuff with schools and such... how'd you get hold of one this early? :-D



Quoting Simon Owen <[email protected]>:

Seems like a promising start: http://simonowen.com/raspberrypi

Speed is fine with the normal SDL build, even with demanding titles like MNEMOdemo1 part 2. It ran at about 450% with the emulator turbo button held (max speed but video capped at 5fps).

The OpenGL version ran very slowly in X, as though it was missing hardware acceleration. That will be needed for the 5:4 aspect ratio feature, to make it look more like the original display.

There wasn't any sound from the 3.5mm jack, and I did see some warnings about not being able to find a sound device. My monitor doesn't have speakers so I haven't checked whether there's anything over HDMI, but I doubt it. I'm using the latest Debian build from 13th April, so I'll need to look into drivers etc.

I had to head off to work so it's just a brief look for now...

Si
