Title: Custom ubuntu build for mame--any interest?
Post by: iscariot on May 29, 2009, 12:00:41 am

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile.  I know that there is advancecd but that doesn't meet my needs.  Is anyone else interested in this?  This is my first attempt so I'd like to hear what people think.

LiveCD but i'd imagine theres a way to install it like most linux distros.

My windows XP loads up faster than that. Plus, there's no way I'd run everything from a DVD drive.

Nice but way too slow. I'm going for a cf to IDE adapter system with a fixed fs for everything and then have the roms on a hard drive so I can just power it on and off without having to do a fs check.
