Raspberry Pi 2?
  • Cenobyte
    Running PiPlay Beta 7 on a Raspbian install and it's working nice with the older games. However some games that I expected to work on Pi2 do run, but they run slower and with stuttering music. Games like Outrun, MK2, Galaga '88 are all from the late '80s and still Pi2 can't run em in a playable way. Is this because Pi2 is still not fast enough or is this because my PiPlay isn't optimized for the new Pi2 yet? Will Beta 8 solve this problem? I would love to run everything from the '80s at least.

    Still working on getting some of the emulators that don't even run yet recompiled.

    The current image isn't bootable by the Pi2 directly, you need an original Pi, and you need to run apt-get upgrade.

    If I can't get Beta 8 out soon, I will remake the Beta7 Image bootable on the pi2.

    @Leo: should be fixed, with using a fixed SDL library... see http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=695188#p695188

    @SSilver2K2: please, is it possible to prepare an update for it, to bring back ScummVM and Stella to work with the new kernel 3.18.x

    SSilver2k2.

    Any chance on getting N64 going with the PI2 once you have everything else sorted?

    @Paladin - That is definitely the top of our wishlist. Both @SSilver2k2 and I love the 64. So we'll see!

    Any ETA on when we can expect a full image that we can flash on a card for a fresh install on the Pi2? I am waiting on that to order the Pi 2.
