Puppy Arcade 6

[ICPUG]

Thanks sc0ttman for your helpful response.

I'll do some looking at the presented links.

You are right about the old guys still talking Commodore. It is at times like these I miss my old friend Ken Ross who was my 8-bit Commodore computing expert before he passed away a while back. I've just found that his web site lives on at:

http://petlibrary.tripod.com

I'd better look there as well.

Once again, thanks.

You're welcome. And I decided to check out the link you posted, maybe I will learn something about the Commodore!

I'm trying Puppy Arcade in an old notebook w/ an Italian keyboard
Everytime I press Up key, the mtPaint pops up w/ a screenshot!
Is there any way to switch it off, or at least, change the key for screenshots?
Another thing is I wasn't able to play x-MAME at fullscreen, just window mode.
Any advise for it?
I need this working alrighty for my nephews

no 7zip tools in puppy arcade or puppy so compiled this has the lib and script files for command line sorry no gui 7zG just refuses to compile
compiled in quirky tested in arcade,quriky,lighthouse 4f seems to work just fine in all of them

You might be able to ask me, too.

Wonder if anyone's still making (or even selling!) those 1541<>PC interface/cables... and even whether or not it can be used under Linux. I really need to back up all my old C64 floppies...

Scottman:

Have been playing with puppy arcade & wbar

I have now fix Wbar Configuration Centre to work well with this pupplet

Wbarcc

[sc0ttman]

I am trying to create a usb drive system to run my arcade cabinet.

I have created the install on a 4 gig usb jump drive and it boots fine and works great. However I would like it to just jump right into the Arcade/Mame game list and not even show the emulator menu.

Should I try to tweak puppy arcade or just install an entire new mame front-end and have that launch at startup?

[edit - typo]

The simplest solution would be to put a script in /root/Startup that loads mame.. I'm STILL looking for a suitable rom browser / multi-emu-frontend thing that will load up and let users add/load their bios and roms straight away.... Sorry

I've found that most alternative frontends require stuff not included in Puppy Arcade such as Python/PyGTK... http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 080#346080

@ trio: I will let you know how wbarcc works out for me... if it's as good as it looks, it will be included as default in puppy arcade 7

@ EMLF, I will get back to you soon, with the answers (I hope)..
