Installing Raspbmc to Raspberry Pi for Mac In our never ending quest to make XBMC easier to use, we discovered that it wasn’t very easy to install Raspbmc to your Raspberry Pi device if you are a Mac user. It was without question that we immediately began developing an application that would simplify the process for end users, allowing XBMC use to grow across the Raspberry Pi community into the future. It’s very easy to install XBMC to your Raspberry Pi with Raspbmc using the new XPi Installer for Mac, follow the instructions below. Requirements Raspberry Pi Device4 GB SD Card (FAT formatted)SD Card Reader (or computer with SD Card slot)Wired Internet Connection by EthernetMicro USB Charger (or BlackBerry charger)Wireless Mouse with USB Transmitter (could be wired or even a keyboard)XPi Installer for Mac Application Step 1: Download and Extract the XPi Software to your Desktop. Step 2: Insert your “SD Card” into your computer or SD Card reader. Step 6: Wait a few minutes for the installation files to transfer. Congratulations!
The ODROID-U is a $69 Exynos-powered, Raspberry Pi-eating dev board | Chips Hardkernel’s $129 ODROID-X is a powerful little development board, but the price tag might be a little off-putting for some. Now the company’s offering two new models at price points that are little bit closer to Raspberry Pi territory: the ODROID-U and ODROID-U2. The base model sells for just $69, and it features the same quad-core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 processor found in some Galaxy S3 variants. It’s got 1GB of RAM, an eMMC connector and microSD slot for storage, two USB 2.0 ports, integrated 10/100 Ethernet, a micro HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It measures about two inches square, making the ODROID-U series about half the width of the Raspberry Pi. For an extra $20 you can step up to the ODROID-U2 (insert your own geeky Bono joke here). Both prices include worldwide shipping and one other nice little bonus. The ODROID-U2 and ODROID-U will begin shipping on December 21 and January 16 respectively. ODroid, via CNX Software
I want to autoplay a Powerpoint PPS file on Boot. Help? 1) The Pi is running Raspbian and X is always started on boot. 2) LibreOffice does not support a "loop" from command line, so even though I created a script and made it executable under /etx/X11/Xsession.d, the presentation will run once, then stop and wait for Esc to be pressed. I tried ImpressRunner, but that didn't work either. I am looking for a solid solution, because not only am I a beginner and am learning as I go, the people I work with know less about Linux in general than I do. Converting Powerpoint to movie / jpg / whatever - Extra steps on the end user side are off the table as per the IT boss. RDP in and start the Presentation manually - I like this idea, but xrdp did not mirror what was going on on the actual Pi desktop...

Soren's Home Brew Blog: My Raspberry Pi - Game I love old console games... I am not that much into old arcade games, but console games like Mario and Sonic I find amazing. For the same reason it annoys me that I cannot buy old NES or SNES games on my Xbox 360. I understand that they don't want to sell them on the competitors platform, but it still annoys me that I cant play them. This was my motivation behind building my own multiple console system emulator based on a Raspberry Pi. I wanted a platform, with original gamepads, which I could play Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo and Sega Master System II games on. First boot ...
