What are your thought on using a raspberry pi to host games? I'm pretty sure they are powerful.
Input?

A.T.H.K

CPU is too small.
|
700 mhz? whats recommended?
| |
That's dependant on the game you want to host.
| |
The goonstation server a few years back used to be sat on a 700 MHz FreeBSD box somewhere, and carried a nice 40 or so players if I recall. The raspberry pi problem is more that it's an ARM architecture CPU, so it can't run BYOND's binary.
| |
You can OC the pi to 1ghz without affecting the warranty. Honestly, for $35, the thing would make an entertaining server farm.
| |
They have ported Free BSD to the PI recently. It should run byond regardless of the architecture.
| |
No, the architecture is very important, and the OS has nothing to do with it. The binaries BYOND provides are x86 architecture, not ARM, so it just won't run.

I feel ashamed XD. I'm taking OS concepts in uni right now... I should know this.
