Can someone please help me install FightCade on GroovyArcade. Most likely its just a matter of sorting out the required packages.
I'm hoping that FightCade can become a standard inclusion in FightCade. However first lets get it setup and working in GroovyArcade first.
The install.sh file included in the FightCade tarball is just an apt-get command to pull down the required packages. Apt-get is used in Debian distributions.
# cat install.sh
sudo apt-get install wine python-qt4-phonon python-qt4
This is the error after I try installing.
[arcade@GroovyArcade FightCade]$ ./fightcade
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 11, in <module>

FightCade Installation on GroovyArcade
1. From gasetup menu select "6 Exit to Shell" or SSH to the machine.
2. Download the latest version of fightcade
[arcade@GroovyArcade ~]$ mkdir install_files
[arcade@GroovyArcade ~]$ cd install_files/
[arcade@GroovyArcade install_files]$ wget http://www.fightcade.com/download/fightcade-linux-v039.tar.gz
3. Unpact the tarball
[arcade@GroovyArcade install_files]$ tar zxvf fightcade-linux-v039.tar.gz4. Install the required dependencies.
- wine - A compatibility layer for running Windows programs
- python-qt4-phonon - The Phonon module of PyQt4 provides bindings for the Phonon Multimedia library to Python.
- python-qt4 - PyQt4 exposes the Qt4 API to Python.
Someone can verify if the below package are correct.
[arcade@GroovyArcade FightCade]$ sudo pacman -S multilib/wine extra/pyqt4-common extra/python-pyqt4 extra/phonon-qt4
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 2 providers available for phonon-qt4-backend:
:: Repository extra
1) phonon-qt4-gstreamer 2) phonon-qt4-vlc
Enter a number (default=1): 1
My mirrors couldn't download wine, so I decided to upgrade the repos and packages
[arcade@GroovyArcade FightCade]$ sudo pacman -Syu

FightCade has now been updated and includes a Linux installation script.
I have posted a guide on the GroovyArcade on how to install it.
Everything works as normal except scan lines.

Hi lacanian,
First of all thanks for taking the time to add documentation to the wiki.
Just one comment: don't take for granted that everyone understands the Linux way of thinking. For instance when you create the symbolic links etc., it would be nice to see one brief comment about what you're trying to achieve (forcing the system to use a different version of python I guess) and why your trick works. In my case, I have some background on computers and am familiar with assembly code since I was 15, however I when looking at Linux I can't avoid feeling it was created by a Martian civilization.

Hi Calamity,
Thanks for the feedback. I'll review the documentation I have written to date and see how I can improve it.
I was actually thinking about way to improve the FightCase wiki documentation last night. For example writing a script that completes everything for the user, contacting Ves to see if he can included it in future releases etc. I also contacted the FightCade dev's and asked them to update their script so the required packages where included in the ArchLinux installation script.
I'm impressed! People who know assembly are becoming hard to find. The only time I dealt with it was trying to create buffer overflows.
