One question: will you release an actual, ready to burn iso?
--- End quote ---
Of course I'm not letting anyone use my fork, no iso given away :lol
All releases are at https://github.com/substring/os/releases
Looks like I'm not properly setting "latest release", but prefer the YYYY-DD releases, others are testing branches. I'll release 2019-11 this week, when I find time and make sure kernel 5.3.8 works.
And for people who just want to give it a try but have no DVD : the ISO can be burnt on a USB pen. In both cases, boot in legacy BIOS, not UEFI (still much work to do to have a syslinux boot menu in UEFI, which is definitely not my priority).
For IT curious people : I'm mainly using Gitlab, and use their integrated CI/CD to create arch linux packages and the Groovy isos. Releases are automatically pushed to github.I use github as a mirror, and people are more familiar with github I think.

Thanks Substring, forgive me, I'm so used to the bare ftp directory style :D
Consider adding that link to the first post in this thread.

Thank you very much for your testing, it's very valuable :notworthy: Have you tested the default EDID at boot menu ? If you manually edited the syslinux.cfg file, then try adding video=DVI-I:e to force the output to enabled. Using EDID or not, you must get the splash screen.
For attract, I'm surprised, I should compare timings between arcade_15 and the 640x480i set in EDID.
--- Quote --- The only thing that could create problems for those who are less expert is the total lack of links in lxde if you wanted to make some changes manually for some configuration, however feasible if you know the commands.
I forgot, I used an HD 4350.
So it's ok for me, great job! :applaud:

For the LXDE thing, noticed it too, haven't tried to solve that yet, but indeed I should take a look at it. Eventually try a sudo chmod -R arcade:arcade /home/arcade. I must admit I'm a keyboard guy, I hardly go into a window manager.
By the way, what's your arcade monitor ? Could you give me a short description of your GFX card -> monitor chain ? like are you using a j-pac ? or any other kind of device ? I'd like to understand why Linux didn't find your monitor.

the, gfx card to monitor is a simple vga connector to jamma (RGB+V and H sync) and jamma to monitor, nothing special, my video card is flashed with Atom-15, and the electronic is an Hantarex Polo28.
I think, to use edid i need to apply some resistances to the connector, i have read about this some years a go but never made it, if it works, is ok for me :D
I've tried the default EDID at boot menu, but i have black screen and no, i don't have edited the syslinux.cfg, you mean the one in \boot\syslinux\ ?
The problem in attract is strange, i have my usual hdd with groovy and it work fine, menu and games, with your iso only attract is out of sync
