Hi All,
a few years ago I was off work due to health issues for a while and needed a project to stop me going insane. Being brought up in a pub, I had great fun as a kid playing the old video games, you remember the ones, Galaxian, Pacman, Donkey Kong and co., so my project was to build a home arcade machine where I could load the roms which are widely available on the net and play. Here a video of the finished product booting up:

It uses old pc components and runs on linux with wahcade frontend, but due to the hardware the thing is darn heavy. With the release of the new Raspberry Pi2 board which will be perfectly capable of doing the job, I have decided to retrofit the box with the new Rpi2. Anyone here have any experience with this new board?
Would be great if I could get some positive feedback, maybe you can post your Rpi projects here....... with pics of course!
Thanks and regards
Martin
