This weekend we have an important mission. No matter the emulator or the game, but the platform.


Our case, Raspberry Pi is becoming one yearopen in new window after launch, a platform for games, media center and very interesting projects.

ChameleonPi it's a Raspbian remix without the X graphical environment that uses it's own launcher to run emulators for old computers, arcades and consoles.

This version brings new features:

  • Added NES emulator

  • Added SNES emulator

  • Support for Joystick

  • Added pdf reader

  • Bug Fixes

The imageopen in new window is only available this weekend as a direct download.

PiMAME is similar, but mostly just to MAME and more optimized for this system. New of this beta are:

  • Support for the XArcade Tankstick.

  • New menu at start to choose options before launching emulation.

  • PIP (the Pi IP service) is available to install (but off by default).

  • New admin options in the web frontend to Reboot and Shutdown your Pi.

  • Smaller image should now install on most 2GB cards (with some room to spare).
