Obviously this board is real and had been seen running at shows so it's fine. However, even Troika's Amy '05 board had a prototype board with pictures!!!

Still enough for The Last of Us and Split Second. Arcade racers are a dying breed and Split Second is awesome and full of fun explosions. Why regular racing games are churned out year on year while games like Outrun 2, Split Second and Twisted Metal get left on the shelf I'll never understand. Forza, Project Cars and GT just bore me and F1 games are too stressful. Nothing has beaten The Last of Us for multiplayer or the story on the single player.

Until Spiderman, TLOU 2, Days Gone and Sonic Mania are out there are no good reasons to get a PS4 (Pro). But even then where's the arcade racer?

In regards to the A1222 (rubbish name by the way) it will definitely be better than an old Mac Mini.

The PS3 could run Yellow Dog Linux before the infamous firmware update that removed the feature. It also works fine as a backup web browser if an emergency. Even the PS2 with Music Generator 2 can produce some great music so I really don't see that RAM is a major limitation to usability.

I'm curious how the A1222 FPU issue turned out, whether it means everything needed recompiling or they got around it with kernel tricks.  Assuming it isn't too bad, I would have bought one by now.
Do you mean if it was available you would have already bought it?
