GroovyMame Gentoo Ebuild
bitbytebit:
Have updated the GroovyMame ebuild to version 0142 patch version 012, also now have the SDL ebuild to allow changeres support to work in Linux. The ebuild now pulls straight from the groovymame git repository, so as groovymame changes just re-running emerge for it will update to the newest changes. (specific to each major version release like groovymame0142 is the git repository name for this version).

I've updated the Ebuild to groovymame 0143 now, Linux ISO coming shortly with that and Kernel 3.0.0 plus some improvements for wireless networking.

Since I'm not able to boot the 1.563 live CD, I thought I would attempt to update groovymame through emerge. I'm running a HD install from the v1.560 (64 bit)iso and when I type:
emerge groovymame
it appears to be updating from the groovymame0.142 git repository. Am I doing something wrong for it to keep updating to 0.142 and not 0.143? While I'm at it, since I haven't figured out why the new iso won't boot, can I get all the new items from the new iso to update\install from the command prompt? If so, what do I need to type in order to get the new/updated stuff?

The ebuild for the 0.142 version is basically the same as 0.142 except it references the git repository for groovymame143, so very little to change. The best way to do it though is downloading the Ebuild archive and make sure it is setup under the /usr/local/overlays/ directory properly as /usr/local/overlays/games-emulation/groovymame/ . Then after that, the emerge command will update groovymame to the newest ebuild version 0143.
That's really the only important thing that changed in the ISO, so doing that emerge with the newer ebuild should make it just as good.
It seems like they broke your motherboard cdrom support I am guessing, or something like the disk io system it uses. Still not 100% sure if it has to do with the 3.0.0 kernel itself (the numbering thing confusing some parts of the system) or where it would have been broken between 2.6.28 and the current version. Any interesting error messages from the 3.0.0 kernel would be good, but I didn't see anything that gave any clues in the logs. Have been slow at looking at it a lot, but hopefully will figure it out sooner or later, but for now the ebuild should do fine.

downloading the ebuild file and placing it in the directory you suggested worked like a champ! Much thanks!!!! :cheers:
