32/64bit Groovy Arcade Linux LiveCD/Install
emphatic:
Thanks, I'll try the pendrive approach first and let you know how it goes.
emphatic:
Well, the Universal Pendrive installer didn't give me a bootable USB. It might be because of the option I used though, "Try Unlisted Linux ISO (New Syslinux)". Trying to boot gives me a "no setup file" or "setup.ini not found" or something like that.
Next up is burning the .iso to disc and trying to install to the USB from it.

Version 1.282-b299821 of the ISO images for 32 and 64 bit are being uploaded now. There have been considerable improvements in performance for Multithreading systems now being able to utilize all processors and still run in waitvsync mode.
* Versions of mame and mess are 0141 with cabmame patches now, plus a few performance patches too for waitvsync to utilize mulithreading.
* The 64 bit version can now run the Sega Gens emulator program, and support for vertical/rotating monitors is now in the setup script so should be easy to get working on those.
* If you can setup wahcade, then it gets a pretty nice dedicated arcade cabinet system going, boot up and setup through the script the first liveCD boot (can install to disk from there). Remember to use 'switchres <game>' to run games/mame or 'switchres n64 --emulator mupen64plus --rom <rompath/name> --args <args to mupen64plus>' to for example use another emulator instead of mame.

Big improvements, fully redid the setup/install interface to be a nice console menu system...

Have gotten the LiveCD and Installation to the point where I would say this is a pretty easy Linux installation and bare bones arcade cabinet system. Have AdvanceMenu and Wahcade working pretty much without any real setup, SMB remote share access for ROM/Snaps to be put onto the system, remote web admin access for the entire system control/monitoring. Works best with ATI Radeon cards/ArcadeVGA 3000 or older cards, and decent most likely with other video cards (may not be able to use vsync with others, but otherwise should be good). Much easier installation/setup which is menu system based at the console now, dos like interface (based of of the Arch Linux installer). Give it a try and report issues, I'm hoping to do everything I can to make it the best system available for real arcade cabinet/monitor emulation output.
