Title: Testing "A Linux Arcade (emulator) Distribution" in 8 Parts on YouTube
Post by: VanDusen on November 22, 2012, 03:27:28 pm

Hi! Someone tested a real nice arcade distribution over 90 minutes in 8 parts.

Testing "A Linux Arcade (emulator) Distribution" - (Frontend: Wahcade) - Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwZUR_y_B2o#)

The distribution "Eine Linux Arcade Distribution" was/is? available on the german Arcadezentrum board. .

I wonder if anybody here has the DVD-iso?

I did a quick test on virtualbox as i don't have a 15khz monitor and so far this distro looks like a very promising alternative to groovyarcade.

My only gripe with these distros is that they have become increasingly large in size. I mean, whatever happened to having a a lean, mean, ultra fast loading linux distro?

btw, welcome to the site mclaire :)

I think there is a lot of additional (unnecessary?) software on the image. From the arcadeinfo thread (german):

There is much to do and much to clean up. Its still a draft.

By booting Lubuntu or others distribution you get a similar result. The boot time depends on your hardware (drive, dvd quality). Try a bootable USB stick or make an installation. I installed it on a harddrive and it boots in few seconds - same as Lubuntu.
