Media Player<br />

With this configuration you will typically have the Raspberry Pi connected to a TV or<br />

large monitor and a source of videos/music/photos etc you wish to play (i.e. Internet/<br />

hard-drive/local network etc).<br />

DesignSpark have written an article on this, which is worth a look, DesignSpark -<br />

Raspberry Pi goes to the movies (http://www.designspark.com/content/raspberry-pi-goesmovies)<br />

You can download an installer from www.raspbmc.com which will install to your desktop<br />

(IOS, Windows, Linux) and write the latest install to your <strong>SD</strong> card. You then boot your Pi<br />

with the card and go through the config steps.<br />

There is a breif video basic tutorial here: http://www.instructables.com/id/RaspberryPi-<br />

Reference needed - More information is needed on specific configuration choices for<br />

raspbmc, although raspbmc.com does have a wiki.<br />

Play Games<br />

While there are not any commercial games for the Raspberry Pi (yet) there are plenty<br />

ways to play games on it.<br />

Many distributions will have games built into them, and some may well support<br />

emulation of other platforms so you can run those games.<br />

Also, a lot of Raspberry Pi users will be writing simple games which will be available for<br />

others to enjoy (and if desired added to or modified).<br />

Reference needed - game section is empty at the moment!<br />
