yeah, it can take some weeks, to finish all the mods :)

I still could not finish them all myself.
When I made the iso, I played again 1-2 days, but when I created the dotpups, several weeks.
And there is more to come, not all mods I have are included, and neither is quake 1 with really large mods like Nehahra. That has the size of a full Quake game.

I'll make that CD somewhen in the second half of 2008 :)

Yes, the Doom-music is midy, played with the instrument-banks of timidity.

Glad you like it,
Mark

Hi MU, not bad, just tried this. Probably not my style of games (not into violence), but I like the setup and configuration of this puppy. Issues for me come down to mainly size, and it being really slow on my machine. Am assuming this is a ram issue? My Specs:
ATI Radeon graphics card, 512mb of ram, and 3.0 ghz processor.

Big games (quake, doom, tuxracer, etc) all ran very slowly, though the smaller ones seemed all right. Also, noticed that when I set games to fullscreen mode, when I exited from them, I would be dumped at the command line, having to restart X. Cheers.

dinky,
it should run quite fast on your machine.
I have a pentium 700 with 1 gig Ram, and a Ati Radeon 9250.
On the screenshot you can see by looking at Conky, that it has just low neeed of Ram, so 512 MB should be fine.

You could try this libGL.so:

For your Ati-card, you also might have more success with propriatary Ati-drivers.

For newer Ati-cards:

For older ones (Radeon 7000 to 9250):

Thanks Mark, will try this again soon! Incidentally, have you tried the Mupen64 project? Nintendo 64 emulator, very easy to run. Have been having lots of fun with it of late.

Ok, quick question. Would it be possible to run this straight from the CD and simply save system settings in an sfs file? If so, I know I can blacklist that sfs file so my regular puppy install will work flawlessly. I like the looks of it but I don't really want to install it.

If you mean ".2fs", then yes. That's how I've been running it, along with the squashfiles (mygame, etc.) copied to the HD so that I can remove the CD.

Can you boot from any other puppy derivatives? If so, try booting into puppy and using burniso2cd. That is burner I used. It worked perfectly.

That helps plenty. You have Puppy 4.0 Dingo. Use the burniso2cd program on it under multimedia to burn a copy of Hurt Me Plenty and it should work perfectly. As I have stated before, that is what I use. I even used it to burn my PCLinuxOS and OS2 Warp discs.

Actually it is 708,112 kilobytes. There are 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte (computers work with powers of 2, not 10). 708,112/1024=~692 megabytes. Therefore it will fit on your CD.

Nero is a very powerful program, but it is often more complicated than is necessary for simple tasks. In this case, it is likely that it did not make the disc bootable. The image is bootable by default, but Nero can (and often does) override that if you don't have the burn settings just right.

As KF6SNJ said, the easiest thing is to boot Puppy 4.00 and use Burniso2cd.

Good luck.

I was wanting to get this working but I haven't yet. I read somewhere that it's based on an alpha release, so does that mean it's not idiot proof yet. If not, then there probably no hope for me yet.

I downloaded the iso, md5sum checked ok. Burned the iso, booted it, saved the file, then booted it up again like the intro said. I chose xvesa, tried to click on one of the doom quake games only to find that the keyboard is not accurate. I chose the USA version during setup. Also even clicking on doom 1 and any of the quakes that I don't have to type anything, it never loads any of the games.

These are the glitches I've run into. Don't know if you've heard any of this before or if you're still developing the release. Just thought I'd mention it.

By the way, the distro "looks" killer! Very sleek. I'm looking forward to this distro as I do enjoy those games you've built around.

you must choose xorg, not xvesa.
xvesa has no hardware accelleration, required by the games.
xvesa is just a fallback, if xorg does not work. But you miss some features then, like 3D.

Amazing what Xorg will do. It works fine now, thanks Mark. Still have a problem with the keyboard but I thought I saw another post relating to it. I'll check it out.
