Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)
jswagner:
When it does work, I can't get either AdvanceMenuPlus or Wah!Cade to recognize my ROMs.. They're .7z format, but Wah!Cade allows me to specify that, and even after manually browsing to the ROM path and selecting it, it still refuses to import anything. Any ideas there?

Hi jswagner,
Try disabling the splash screen, either by pressing escape when the system shows it, or do it permanently by editing grub.conf. I have the same issue here, we're working on it.
No idea about the .7z issue.

Hey Calamity, thanks for your reply. I got to spend a few more minutes troubleshooting my system today and was able to produce a cleaner crash from X (segmentation fault), so I think I've got hardware issues on my side.
I'll dig up some compatible RAM, try again and report back later.

I was thinking about this project last night and was wondering what's keeping the individual components from being posted to Arch's AUR?
There are packages for custom kernels and alternate MAME builds already in the AUR, and using something like 'yaourt' could make keeping current very easy for end users.
For example, I saw there was a SwitchRes update the other day, but I haven't got the foggiest idea how I could get it onto this system (I guess I'd need to manually compile it, potentially overwriting the existing version). It looks like a big rewrite that's more for testing than stable use, so it'd be nice to be able just install the 'switchres-wip' package, and fallback on the old 'switchres' package if I ran into big issues.
Thoughts?
(Sorry if I'm getting the details mixed up -- I'm not entirely sure if SwitchRes is compiled into MAME, or is an external utility.. from my perspective, it doesn't really matter. The question is "would someone be interested in putting GrooveArcade packages into the AUR?")
Calamity:
Hi jswagner,
There's work going on during the last weeks to have an updated Live-CD, hopefully your issue is solved by the new kernel.
I don't think there's nothing that prevents the components from being posted to Arch's AUR. It's just that nobody's done it. I'm not a Linux user, I didn't know about the AUR until you mentioned :) I guess that it's just a circumstantial fact that the live-cd is now Arch's based, as it was originally based on Gentoo. The live-cd is currently mantained by VeS, while I'm updating the SwitchRes patch for GM, and helping VeS with specific tasks, so there are just two persons actively coding on this (since Chris left the project), apart from the work of the testers here. It can be a bit overwhelming, and I just wish I have some time to write a proper documentation before real life gets really real.
