Given Broadcom's connections to the project, it's almost a surprise they didn't have some kind of Broadcom option for WiFi/BT earlier. Must have stung at Broadcom to be powering the most popular hobbyist ARM Linux board, but almost every one using WiFi powered by Realtek,Ralink,etc.

Broadcom's "connection" to the project often seems circumstantial, like the Pi project is a blip on nobody's radar. Several of their engineers used to work at Broadcom and they've been under NDA lock and key, bending over backwards to help people progress on things that they can't officially talk about by leaving the least subtle clues ever so that they can move the process forward. The GPU/camera integration in part…

When they speak of "old" games, I do not think they are thinking of Mario or Tetris, which are a decade newer and orders of magnitude better than some "classic" games.

Sturgeon's law applies. We only play the 10% (or less) of old games that are good. There are good new games, too.

I don't doubt it. I only say that the percentage of good older games is at least equivalent, if not greater, than the percentage of good newer games.
