I haven't updated the blog in a while. I'm not going to apologize, you know how it is. I haven't been bored, but my Pi has gone into the background and I need time for other stuff... but opened a channel on the new social network MeWe called Raspberry Pi en Español and I intend to continue writting from there along with whoever wants, news about our beloved Pi.

MeWe is a social network created in 2016 that has some of the most used features of other social networks and aims to replace Google+ but with the difference that this network presents itself as the "Private Social Network" so there are no advertising banners or tracking users.

What I like most is that it is dynamic, a chat room for chatting with other fans, curious and restless minds like me, and still not overcrowded. So there I wait for you if you are Spanish speakers. We are already almost 300 members. You have others communities in english. I recommend you mewe > raspberrypiforever.

Anyway, this is not the end of the blog, it's a to be continue...

Let's go by parts. First we have a new project called Ludo that belongs to the famous libraries libretro to emulate, as we already know, all kinds of consoles and computers of the last century. It is a multiplatform frontend that wants to compete with RetroArch. You can also run on our beloved Raspberry Pi, but they have thought it would be better to create an operating system that already had it built, and from there to born this first version alpha called LudOS.

The end of Google+ has motivated other companies to create the perfect and it seems that there is a lot of people talking about a new social network (Another more?!) called mewe. Something has called me to create there the first group in Spanish to talk about the Raspberry Pi, so it will serve as a meeting point for Spanish speakers, we will have the opportunity to chat or be aware of news in a more direct way. I have left the channel open so that you can also add links and keep a community alive to be informed.

You have another english and german interesting groups. I let you with the links below. What are you waiting for?

Descent is a 3D first person shooter that takes place in the distant future...

You know I'm a fan of retro computers. I had a ZX Spectrum, but also spent my childhood with a MSX. With this computer you could load games through cassettes, floppy disks and cartridges. Imagine being able to use a Raspberry PI not only for SD card programs, but also for real MSX cartridges. Victor Trucco (@victortrucco) has put this into practice. Do you want to know more?...
