Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)
Calamity:
VeS is currently maintaining the Groovy Arcade Live-CD, based on Arch Linux, including these new features:
- Automatic Wiimote setup for xorg.conf, you only need to add your system's eventX and Wiimote MACs (as explained in /etc/init.d/wiimote)
- Added the required joystick packets input-joystick event, etc.
- Cwiid already set up for guns use in MAME games.
- mame.ini already set up for Wiimote use.
- Added new command UpdateGroovyMAME, which downloads and installs the most up-to-date GroovyMAME binary from Groovy's ftp.
- GroovyMAME binary updated to version 0.144u2 (from now on you can use UpdateGroovyMAME.sh to keep your binary updated).
- OpenPPJoy included since startup, with MAME default keys already set up.
Here you can download the latest iso:

Looks good. Will it work on a raspberry pi, do you think?
dmarcum99:
will Ves release a 64-bit version of the update?
NightSprinter:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but recently on a gateway media computer I was given every attempt to install the distro fails. I never get the GRUB prompt.
Don't get me wrong, the setup is working nicely. It's just even this test update for some reason fails to install the boot loader (and even installing another OS on a different partition fails to detect GA).
Oh, also the download link is no longer valid due to the whole seizure of MegaUpload.

Hi NightSprinter,
I tried the Live_CD installation myself using an usb device as the target disk, and although it didn't boot at first, it turned out I had to manually change some parameters in the grub setup to get it working. On boot, enter your bios's boot menu and select the disk where you installed GA, then you'll probably get "error 17". Enter the grub menu and change this option:
root (hd1, 0) ... change it for: root (hd0, 0)
That worked for me.
