For those that don't know what a Raspberry Pi is: http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/what-is-a-raspberry-pi/
Essentially, this little device is capable of a lot of different things, notably emulation gaming. You can program it to where it can easily be used as a portable emulation console, capable of using a USB controller.
What I had in mind is possibly using this for tournaments running arcade tournaments such as UMK3, or the new UMK2. There's starter kits being sold for ~$50-80 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Basic-Clear-Supply/dp/B00DG9D6IK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1397254373&sr=8-7&keywords=raspberry+pi
The setup for the gaming part is pretty easy: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-retro-game-console-498561192
After all that setup, just go ahead and play.![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
It's pretty sweet what we'd probably be able to do with this thing. And it wouldn't be limited to just arcade games...you'd be able to run a number of other games, as well...and since there's an HDMI port for this thing, it's not like you'd have to spend that much more on cables. I think it'd be a fine investment.
Thoughts?
