Lightbulb Possible Arcade Cabinet Application of the Raspberry Pi
Hi guys,
My name is Ryan. I'm from Providence, Rhode Island. A friend and I are working on a homemade video game cabinet design in the style of classic arcade games from the late seventies to nineties. We're designing a system that allows people to play these original games on their original hardware, as they would have 20-30 years ago, (as opposed to an emulator,) because we have a tremendous passion for the 'golden age' of arcade gaming. We also have a passion for open source and the UNIX culture, which is why we've decided to use Raspberry Pi systems for our data relay.
We're extremely excited about this project. We've been talking with programmers from around the world about the theory of this device, and now we're looking for UNIX pros to help us bring it all together.
If you want to see some more about the project, check out the thread on the Raspberry Pi forums under 'Projects and Collaboration'.

ATTN: This is NOT a job posting. We're looking for anyone and everyone who's interested in the project to help us out with designing and coding the system. When we started the project, we couldn't find anyone who's done this kind of thing before, and we'd love to have it available to whoever wants to build off it in the future Smilie

Anyone order or get the new Rasberry Pi? I'm still waiting. Even though it's a fun project, I think these will turn out to be toys for people who already have PC's, and a boon to those who do not.

ggz(7)								  GGZ Gaming Zone							    ggz(7)

NAME

       ggz - The GGZ Gaming Zone

DESCRIPTION

       The GGZ Gaming Zone is a standards-conforming online gaming infrastructure which provides many applications and games to people who like to
       play on the internet or in local networks.

APPLICATIONS

       There isn't a single executable named ggz, instead a multitude of programs is available to the user, and even more  which  operate  on  the
       system level or are used by developers and administrators.  Users will most likely want to connect to a GGZ server on the internet, such as
       ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org, to play games against other people.  Core clients are used to perform this task.

GAMES

       Games are usually launched by the GGZ server, with corresponding game clients running on the user's desktop. Plenty of games are  available
       for GGZ, most of them coming from the GGZ project itself but several independent game projects do now provide GGZ support.

       While  some GGZ game clients are suited for online gaming only, others also run locally like normal games happen to do. Those will be found
       in the desktop's application menu.

FILES

       /usr/bin
	      GGZ applications, tools, and the games which provide single player mode.

       /usr/lib(d)
	      GGZ game client and server libraries.

       /usr/share/ggz(d)
	      Data files for game clients and servers.
