AT LAST I've found : was missing the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file ! It's not added by default in arch
ves:
Good job!!
I want to be able to help as soon as possible.
You dont install vbox video driver.
Test to configure etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
"needs_root_rights = yes"

oh glad you join the fun :) The more the merrier
The vbox video driver is because i test 99.9% on Virtual Box, also sometimes QEMU, it's so much easier than burning the ISO on a key, swapping room, and test ;)
Time to give some news then :
- released today a new iso + arch packages for GA at https://github.com/substring/test/releases/tag/2019-06. It's still pretty much alpha, but things are slowly getting in shape
- EDID boot has been added, need to fix a few things here and there, some part will involve gasetup which I don't want to mess around with for now
- gotta fix some samba permissions
- GM recognizes the coin key, but for God knows which reason, coins are almost never inserted
- I'm kind of embarassed with the default frontend : the config files are not for mainline advancemame's advancemenu, and my last try with advancemenuplus still requires some work. Have added other FE, most of them need a proper configuration (when they work).
Those are the main steps before reaching beta stage. I should also update the dev wiki, there were a few improvements here and there that are worth explaining.
Still have a few big ideas in mind (like a wrapper that can configure any FE, some fun with EDID, rewriting the iso process, write an img rather than a iso ... So many ideas, so little free time). And, sooner or later, i'll have to setup a definitive pacman repo for GA, the github release thing was more of a proof of concept, it can't stand daily updates once I'll set this up. Will need 1 or 2 servers to build GA and host the GA pacman repo. But that's in a distant future !
Summer is coming as well as holidays, will probably have a break during that time ;)
As usual, curious people can check https://gitlab.com/substring45/test (issues, merge requests, wiki and CI, I never commit straight to master)

Thank you for the iso. Will test soon. Interesting coun issue with groovymame.
keilmillerjr:
Thank you substring for the update on the iso. It now works in virtual box.
Some help for others to download on mac. Linux should be the same to download. Windows, you would have to download curl. I then used archiver app for mac to unpack. The default app (archive utility) on newer os10 subversions should work.

I was able to boot from iso within virtual box. Boot menu has new options. There is no option for just plain LCD. I picked DVI-1 15khz and it worked. I plan on using this with my mvs using a k7000 and a separate machine with an lcd (for a friend, I don’t do that taboo). Not sure what would be the proper thing to do for the latter case.
Thank you substring. Keep the updates going!
