EDITORIAL
aming is one of our favorite ODROID pastimes, with doz-
ens of emulators available on both Linux and Android.
Tobias, our celebrated Linux gaming columnist, evalu-
ates some of the best Nintendo 64 games available on a C1,
U3 and XU3 to find out which platform is most suitable for
smooth game play. We also take a
look at Arx Fatalis, Quake II, Does
Not Commute, and Hearthstone,
as well as a slick method of re-
using a PlayStation 2 as a unique case
for an ODROID-C1 emulation station.
Venkat, our resident technical guru, details
creating your own GPS tracking system, ca-
pable of keeping track of fleets of vehicles for
your business, and Pascal shows us how his ODROID was able to
see a solar eclipse on a cloudy day using its electronic sensors. If you
enjoy DIY projects, check out our guides to creating a wall dashboard for keeping track
of metrics and data in real time, building a tiny Linux box disguised as a wall charger
that you can take anywhere, and setting up a Plex Media Server to deliver files to all of
your devices wherever you go.

I’m a computer
programmer living
and working in San
Francisco, CA, design-
ing and building web applications
for local clients on my network
cluster of ODROIDs. My primary
languages are jQuery, Angular JS
and HTML5/CSS3. I also develop
pre-built operating systems, custom
kernels and optimized applications
for the ODROID platform based
on Hardkernel’s official releases, for
which I have won several Monthly
Forum Awards. I use my ODROIDs
for a variety of purposes, including
media center, web server, applica-
tion development, workstation, and
gaming console. You can check out

software, prebuilt kernels and OS

I am President of Re-
spectech, Inc., a tech-
nology consultancy in Uki-
ah, CA, USA that I founded in 2001.
From my background in electronics
and computer programming, I manage
a team of technologists, plus develop
custom solutions for companies rang-
ing from small businesses to worldwide
corporations. ODROIDs are one of
the weapons in my arsenal for tack-
ling these projects. My favorite devel-
opment languages are Rebol and Red,
both of which run fabulously on ARM-
based systems like the ODROID-U3.
Regarding hobbies, if you need some,
I’d be happy to give you some of mine
as I have too many. That would help
me to have more time to spend with my
wonderful wife of 23 years and my four
beautiful children.

Last time we’ve seen
this mischief of an Art
editor, he was learning how to do the
secret sauce to perfect his Entrecôte,
doing about 2 hours of exercise daily
and scouting all bike shops at his home
town looking for that guy that shares
his passion for cycling to be the me-
chanic for all his bikes.
I’m a Digital Strat-
egist and Trans-
media
Producer
specializing in online
optimization and inbound market-
ing strategies, social media directing,
and media production for print, web,
video, and film. Managing multiple
accounts with agencies and filmmak-
ers, from Analytics and Adwords to
video editing and DVD authoring. I
own an ODROID-U3 which I use
to run a sandbox web server, live in
the California Bay Area, and enjoy
hiking, camping and playing music.

I am on a sabbati-
cal and will return to
working on ODROID
magazine this summer.
I am 31 years old
and live in Seville,
Spain, and was born in Granada. I
am married to a wonderful woman
and have a child. A few years ago I
worked as a computer technician and
programmer, but my current job is
related to quality management and
information technology: ISO 9001,
ISO 27001, and ISO 20000. I am
passionate about computer science,
especially microcomputers such as the
ODROID and Raspberry Pi. I love
experimenting with these computers.
My wife says I’m crazy because I just
think of ODROIDs! My other great
hobby is mountain biking, and I oc-
casionally participate in semi-profes-
sional competitions.
