...I have seen a Pi Zero drawing under 200mA with a WiFi adapter connected to the USB port... Yup, my GF's Zero sits around 170-180mA with a USB WiFi adapter connected to my network. It'll go a little over 250mA with Sysbench pushing the CPU. It bumps up to the 300-350mA range (briefly) with a sudo...

...Well their is a program install and run on Windows and can't be run on Linux so is their a way that I can run Windows programs on raspberry pi 2 even if it's emulator If it's a Windows XP program I doubt you could get it working well enough to be useful. It's not just a matter of emulation, you ...

I was wondering if the pi 3 model b is good running Heroes and Generals. This is yet another Windows game. If you want to run Windows games, run them on a Windows computer. See my reply to your other post for a more thorough explanation. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=15202...

IIRC, someone actually got Win95 to boot on an early model Pi. So far as I recall, it took some *hours* to boot. XP would be slower. So, if you enjoy watching paint dry, and you have a couple of days to spare, you might be able to see XP boot on a Pi. Emulating a different architecture typically re...

I have seen that men of war can run on Linux. Yes you are right it can run under STEAM in Linux for X86-64 CPU Architecture:... The Raspberry Pi has ARM CPU Arhitecture and therefore STEAM is not compatible... This is something a lot of people don't seem to understand. Different types of computers ...

Yes, and look how well that ended for them. Just be thankful they wren't running Linux.

the sd card has a useful life of writing, it is true that pi 3 operating systems (retro pie, recal box) constantly write in the card without my permission? how to avoid these written to maximize the useful life of the MicroSD card? Seriously dude, why do you worry about every little thing? You worr...

...I tried doing `nice apt-get install perl` (this was the missing package) and it would then show a bunch of critical IO errors. I was worried that my micro SD card was corrupt or broken at that point, though after cleaning it off and reinstalling Raspbian with an attempt to get around the SD card...

The major reason someone might want to run Windows is because there is some application they want to run that they have only available for Windows. Then they should run it on a Windows computer. Another option would be to find an equivalent Linux program. Something that does the same thing that wil...

HawaiianPi

No, and why would you even want to? XP was a horrible OS! There are different computer architectures based on CPU type, and generally software written for one type is not compatible with another. Think of it as different architectures speaking different languages. The ARM architecture processor in t...

All I do when setting up a new Pi is the following: Grab the latest Raspbian image and write it to an SD card. Add my wpa_supplicant.conf to /boot (if I'm setting it up for wireless). * see note below regarding Jessie-Lite. Insert the SD card and boot up the Pi. From my main machine with Linux, open...

I just use sudo mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.1.100://mnt/ZFSpool1 /home/tim/Share/NAS and that works for me with default Raspbian (Jessie 2016-05-27). Obviously you'll need to enter your own address and share names (and mount point), but that should work. Oh, and I'm using a Pi3 with a wireless co...

After getting home and relooking at what I ordered the power supply is 2.5A so I should be ok. Just wanted to make sure and get clarrifcation. Thanks guys(and gals?) If you ordered this power supply , then you should be fine. I have one of those and it works well. Although you could have bought it ...

Simple answer, No! Complex answer, maybe, but it will take a lot of effort to get it running, and then it will run ridiculously slowly, and it probably won't function correctly (unless you are talking about some super old DOS application). Even more complex answer, converting to ARM native code, if ...

HawaiianPi

Yes, that card should be fine. Bit of an overkill, since the Pi does not support the U3 high speed writing, but it will work, and it still should be very fast. If you can find a Samsung EVO+ U1 micro SD card, it should be cheaper, and should be just as fast (if not faster) on a Pi.

Some of the info in this months old thread is out of date. The /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf feature IS supported in the latest Raspbian Jessie (2016-05-27). But only in the full version (it's broken in Raspbian Jessie Lite at the moment). If you want WiFi to connect automatically with Raspbian, downloa...

It can (and has been) done. You can only do it if you learn up on your Unix / Linux / Raspian. Generally, once one learns the above mentioned one avoids m$ / windows... I very seriously doubt it has been done. Got a link? I'm not saying it's impossible (although it may very well be). I'm just sayin...

HawaiianPi

Which OS are you running? If it's Raspbian Jessie Lite then that file won't exist, because it's part of the GUI configuration, and there is no GUI/desktop installed in Lite.

Make sure the firewall on the MAC is set up to allow SSH. That ^ And you can ssh using the target's hostname, rather than the IP (which might change if you are using DHCP on your network). So just use ssh pi@raspberrypi , and if you have more than one Pi computer, remember to change the hostname on...

HawaiianPi

Sure. Any Pi will run Jessie Lite. There are no restrictions or minimum requirements. We've got Lite on our Zero (on a 4GB SD card, since Lite is so small).

Your micro USB cable could also be at fault. The USB 2.0 standard is designed for 5V/500mA (half an amp) at the USB ports, so that's what most USB cables are designed to deliver. When you try to pull more power than that through an average or below average quality cable, its resistance limits the po...

It's very likely your power supply. During operation (especially at boot time) the red LED should be on solid. No blinking or flickering, while the green LED should blink/flicker while the SD card is being accessed. If you see any blinking or flickering of the red LED, then it's definitely your powe...

@HawaiianPi: The newer versions of Jessie have a really neat feature that may be helpful With the new raspberrypi-net-mods, if /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf exists, it will be moved over /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. This is done through /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/01-wpa-config-copy. It may ta...
