Fortunately, we are already at home and my wife is recovering slowly. I appreciate your comments again. While I wont new challenges with *ODROID-C1* and the *Raspberry Pi 2*, but that we will see in the blog. Now just read the weekly summary dedicated almost exclusively to emulators. Are you interested?...

Raspberry Pi 2 PSX Emulation: 27 Playstation 1 Games Tested

**Raspberry Gear:** My brother gave me for Christmas a *Game Gear*. I think it has been the only handheld that we had at the time. Now the retro is on the top, I do not mind play it anywhere, so this tutorial will help to you to insert a RPi into it | [learn.adafruit.com > Raspberry-Gear](https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-gear?view=all)
**Black screen on Raspbian with games using SDL 1.2 Library:** Unpleasant surprise we found on *Raspbian* and the new version of their *Kernel* when we want to run a game or emulator, as we screen goes black. Not suffer, is an error in the *SDL 1.2* that is easily solved. Simply install this package with the corrected problem that works on any *Raspberry Pi* model (More info [here](http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=99822)):


wget http://malus.exotica.org.uk/~buzz/pi/sdl/sdl1/deb/rpi1/libsdl1.2debian_1.2.15-8rpi_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsdl1.2debian_1.2.15-8rpi_armhf.deb
rm libsdl1.2debian_1.2.15-8rpi_armhf.deb

**Amiga 500 & 1200 emulator with DispmanX:** For those who do not know, *DispmanX* is a modification to a *SDL Library* to get high resolutions using hardware acceleration (*GPU*). In the following thread we can find the famous *Uae4all2* modified so you can play the **Amiga with 1080p resolution** | [raspberrypi.org > UAE4ALL2 : Amiga 500 & 1200 emulator with DispmanX](http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=102328)

**recalbox-os v3.2.4:** *PiPlay, RetroPie, Lakka, OctopusPI, ChameleonPi*,... There are several of the best known dsitro emulators at the time. I think I've never talked about *recalbox*, so now I leave you the link to the blog and the git repository to get the latest version. I will talk about this distro in the near future so that you may know further.
