Time for some news !
As already said, the tools required to build the iso have evolved. I used to patch them (mostly to handle a different kernel name), this will take me some time to adapt, so no new iso for NOW
BUT !
GroovyArcade is modular, and since GroovyArcade is using the default package manager, some parts can be updated one by one, even through a full sytem upgrade. So here are some news :
- I always make full updates of my test box . So don't be scared to go
pacman -Syu. You may face some conflicts (like fonts for the graphics server) : not a problem, accept.
- I finally made a package of the GroovyArcade boot screen ! Just go
pacman -Sy plymouth-theme-groovy then
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R groovy. This way, updating plymouth won't restore the default boot screen
- gasetup : the bug when skipping the video boot resolution should be fixed by now
- galauncher : someone asked me to put the CPU governor in peformance mode when starting groovymame for better frame delay. Server !
- groovyarcade-config : you may have some trouble updating it. I can't test it sadly, but
pacman -Sy groovyarcade-config --overwrite /home/arcade/.xinitrc. As a general rule, i strongly recommend you don't edit that file as it may get new updates that would erase your customizations. If required, I'll add a "user" .xinitrc file that can be freely edited and that would be called by the real file.
- groovymame 224 is a little late
Talking about that, it's a good idea to also update groovymame-config at the same time. This way, history.dat and mameinfo.dat files are also updated
That's it for now
