Turn a Raspberry Pi into the ultimate emulator

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/21/2013 09:05 AM | source: | 5 comment(s)

RPI Chameleon, a great new project from Carles Oriol, enhances the Pi's time machine like quality, by letting it run emulators for a whole batch of ancient hardware, including the IBM Personal Computer, Atari 2600, Apple II, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Oric-1. It can even run MAME, the arcade emulator, and you can add additional emulators to its menu too. Described by Carles as a "Raspbian remix without the X graphical environment that uses its own launcher to run emulators for old computers, arcades and consoles", the RPI Chameleon is easy to set up and use and you can download a torrent of the required image directly from the Chameleon website.

Ultimate?

The ones i really want, are the ones that aren't on the list. NES, SNES, and Sega genesis.
That said, it's still pretty awesome for it's price. There's a 75% chance i'll buy the model B.
Edit:
It definitely has enough power for a high end SNES or Sega gen emu.
Could probably even do game-boy advance (along with color and original gameboy)

If it got these classic SNES and Sega consoles, i would be giving these as gifts.
Pop a bluetooth adapter on it or something with a BT game controller and play even more Classic Games.
(BT cause a bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo isn't very expensive anymore)

The Pi (which I own) is good for nothing other than p**sing around in linux with, or using as an XBMC media centre

As the guy said, its nothing more than a tiny linux box

Oh i take back what i said, lurked through their forums for a few, and i see there is an SNES emu already, which isn't perfect but shows great promise.

I like that they threw the ZX Spectrum in there. The lack of TurboGrafx 16 is kind of disappointing, although I'm sure they'll add it later. Luckily I still keep one hooked up to my TV. :)

Either way, it's pretty neat!

Strange you should mention that. I have posted this on Spectrum's finest website:
