This is a link post Quite Rubbish Clock
I'm mucking about with Raspberry Pis quite a lot at the moment but I haven't come up with anything as brilliantly useless as this. A clock you can only read using a QR code reader.

This is a normal post Haha! Nice
That is much more useless than my RPi. I use mine for Dosbox and Hatari emulation and for playing all the best old games on my big flat screen tv:
http://www.abandonia.com/ (all the best old games)
http://www.atari.st/ (lots of Atari ST stuff)
http://theisozone.com/downloads/retro/atari-st/pompey-pirates-complete/ (every old ST game that counts)

My geek work here is done. To the next link!

This is a normal post Tell me more about the Atari ST stuff
If I can get my Pi running Thunderhawk then I'll owe you beer.

This is a normal post no problem
You'll want to do this (assuming that you're running Wheezy)
Open up a terminal window
type in:
"sudo apt-get install hatari" (that will install the emulator properly - sudo allows the command to run as root otherwise it wont work)
You'll then want to download the old Tos image from here:
steem.atari.st/tos_uk.zip
Drop the 1.02 img file into the directory that Hatari asks for when you start it from your 'Start menu'
Download the giant stack of pompey pirates files from my link above, unzip and then load up Disc 98 - Thunderhawk is yours to play.

*Downs beer*

Edit: Getting a joystick to work is more difficult so you may have to play with keys

This is a normal post Cheers!
So long, suckers! See you in a month!


[edit]

Or maybe not. I'm getting a 404 from the package when it tries to download libjack-jackd2-0.

This is a normal post Ah, thats because your apt-get DB is old
try "sudo apt-get update" which will tell your RPi where all the packages now live on the web, then the above.
Edit: www.raspberrypi.org
They'll help you get everything working and I'm on there too if you encounter more issues
