32/64bit Groovy Arcade Linux LiveCD/Install
bitbytebit:
02042011 - 1.546 Release
- Added new option to groovymame named -monitor_specs that takes switchres monitor specs format
- Now NTFS drives really should allow being used as the Roms/Snap folder
- fixes for xorg.conf generation when lspci shows other interfaces with VGA in them
- cwiid controller fixes
- Really prevent extra setup on install if already done
Calamity:
I've tested the new version. I've managed to mount my ntfs roms drive without using the network, directly from the menu with the drive mount option, very very nice. I've only missed an option in gasetup to open mame.ini and edit the roms/snaps path, similar to the AdvanceMenu one, nothing important as you can enter the lxde environment and do that.
I'm seeing an issue with twincobr, I think it might be the same one dmarcum99 is reporting for mace. I think that for those games the system is simply defaulting to the desktop resolution, even if it creates the right modeline, as you can see in the xrandr log I've attached, done while the game was running from ssh. So twincobr is running 109% (60/54.88). It's interesting because other virtualized games like 1945kiii seem to work perfectly with their right resolution, so it's really strange.
There's also a problem with menu fonts in GroovyMame, they look garbled for some reason, while they were perfect in previous versions.

I'm surprised that slipped by, but I guess it's from my d9800 never doing virtualized resolutions which is all it affected. Definitely should make a difference with this change.
bitbytebit:
Uploaded new ISO images that fix that issue with virtualized resolutions in groovymame, and also updated to the latest stable kernel 2.6.38.2.
Calamity:
Thanks! Downloading...
EDIT: Great! It's fixed, virtualized modes work fine now.
EDIT2: They're also reporting the monitor_specs options is working great for TV sets, allowing to center the picture for all modes.
