Software Support > GroovyMAME

Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)

<< < (2/46) > >>

Calamity:
I've uploaded the iso to the groovy's ftp. Download link updated.

NightSprinter:
This is really strange.  The menu.lst file already has it at (hd0, 0).  The moment it says "Welcome to GRUB!", it quickly says "error: file not found.  Entering rescue mode..."


I'll also note I'm using a Gateway GM5472 media center computer (as I'm still trying to look up how to get multiple resolutions in 15KHz to work for all emulators and for supporting games if worse comes to worse and I need to use another distro).

NightSprinter:
YES! YES! YES! YES!!!!  Apparently the installer didn't actually install to the MBR properly.  Some editing with a live disc of Gentoo (including having to chroot into my system install), re-running GRUB, removing the menu.lst symlink (and renaming grub.conf to menu.lst), and I'm in business.


Now to load up "Rom Check Fail" and a few other neo-retro games to test how well they'll run in this distro.  ;D :cheers:

Only thing I don't have working right now, Calamity, is wifi (using a Linksys WMP600N.  Keeps giving me "MCU Request Failed" errors.).

Openppjoy (currently does nothing, loaded from the default boot mode keys keyboard and mame)


Notes

Do not change the language before installing (you can change the keyboard) because it translates archlinux gasetup only knows everything and English for the installation.

To use Groovyarcade from a usb, the usb must be called GROOVY and overwrite these files.
"UNetbootin" File name: GROOVYparaUsb2.rar File size: 179.74 KB

If you have problems with plymouth change in the grub vga = 785 vga = by, or erase it.

If you want to disable plymouth once installed edit / boot / grub / grub.lst and delete splash vga = XXX

If you see that is the logo and the menu does not appear gasetup, you have to change the console, first to 2 and then at 1, is done by pressing
ctr + alt + F2, ctr + alt + F1.

Changed the sound menu you will see now
Audio Setup program that you configured alsaconf your sound card, no need to use the autodetected one.
Volume +-alsamixer shows a mixer like the old msdos up / put / remove the sound, sound bars, there will be a number below or MM, if they are in MM is that this muted, to activate press m.

For a better translation for yourself, forum Spanish.

Bugs

Some games use a very low frequency, to see them well, you have to modify the settings vsync monitor.

This is not really a bug, is for new versions of groovymame changed resolutions.

I need testers.



You can see the new Groovyarcade in virtual machine.



And here you can see Groovyarcade, and autoconfiguration of wiimotes.
Note, the wiimotes are fully functional as a gun, and they can be used as a joystick in mame, this video is not displayed as it is before that configuration.

Paradroid:
Sounds awesome! :)
