--- Quote from: ves on June 04, 2011, 08:37:23 am ---Hello bitbytebit, I saw that there are several more errors in the configuration of the network card, to configure the card does not change this configuration, as does the ifconfig ethX donw or service.
Not if gasetup failure or not, but when you configure the boot lxde says not installed, it has removed or is it a bug?
You should include in packages are groovymame joystick xf86-input-joystick and input-utils.
(Now do not remember but I think it is necessary to use the Wiimote as a gun, because I was doing several Proofs for it to work and one of these was to install the packages)
I've tried the wiimote and I must say it works really well, there are no blocking issues, earthquakes etc ...
To succeed, I had to change the configuration files in the ir_ptrX cwiid the option mamebuttons by the original buttons, there is any conflict with that configuration.
About what we talked a while. takes less time to load gentoo, I've been looking to use the upstart debian etc, but this package is not in gentoo, since it represents a big change (bad luck), I looked in arch linux and not have it, but your boot is faster, and I think it's because things like load more modules in the kernel itself, (correct me if I'm wrong) you could compile the kernel so that charged at less stuff by default by setting only the basics and everything else that put as modules?
I forgot to comment that arch linux mkinitcpio used to optimize the creation and loading of initrd, leaving only what you need our PC, and thus takes less time to load.
I've been looking at guides to optimize gentoo changing values etc. .. but I have given little or no results, but still leave you the link if you think you can claim for anything.
With respect to the boot image, I think the best option would be to use plymouth, we could have animations etc and it seems easy to use.
You thought your in groovyarcade migrate to arch linux, because it is much more friendly when installing or upgrading to gentoo?
Well I hope not to get tired a lot, are just notes that I wanted to discuss with you.
Thank.

The newest builds don't contain lxde, were smaller to allow quicker uploads. Also avoiding adding extra packages for the X windows joystick and other input devices, but will look at that in the future. Booting slower is the compromise so that everyones systems will work, otherwise without loading all the modules some systems wouldn't work. To get a fast bootup, would require only the specific kernel modules for your system to be loaded, it's a custom setup, would have to know about trimming down the Linux kernel. Right now it works, for most everyone, but slower than a streamlined trimmed system. Would be nice to eventually address that, but it's a lot of work most likely. Arch Linux is interesting, but I suspect it's not best to move to it because I know Gentoo so well and in general the system should be a drop in working system, so moving to a new system wouldn't really help the end user and just require more work for me :). Yeah thanks for input, I've been so busy I can't really focus on working on stuff right now. Actually I'm happy with the state of things for the most part, all the additional things for now are just extra stuff it seems, and currently so busy with my moving into and working on getting my new house setup there's no time for extra work (besides my normal job :)).

Can someone please tell me what arguments I need to run groovymame with to generate modelines for missing video modes? Also it would be very nice if these could be listed in the first post, as this is now a 30+ pages thread. I'm running GroovyMAME in Windows with Soft15kHz. I went to the groovy website, but there's not much info there about the Windows usage.
By "arguments" I mean command line if there's any confusion. :)

You can use a line like this:
groovymame toki -monitor cga -v -md 4 >toki.txt
Then open toki.txt and line 18 should contain this:
SwitchRes: ModeLine "256x224x59.61" 5.127413 256 272 296 336 224 231 234 256 -HSync -VSync
...which is the modeline GroovyMAME has calculated for the monitor type we entered (cga). GroovyMAME won't be able to add that modeline if you're using a nVidia card but you can copy it and use Soft15KHz to add it to the system.
