Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, first off I want to say this is an amazing setup. I'm currently building a system for my kids to replay all the games I loved as a kid, and this is the perfect solution for them.

Now onto my problem at hand...I have two USB controllers connected to my system and they are both being detected fine. I've gone through the joypad configuration program and all inputs are recognized on both controllers. When I open up rejoystickcc I can't seem to find a way to map the buttons of the second gamepad to keys. Only the first shows up as an option.

I'm not exactly comfortable with Linux, but I am trying to set up Puppy Arcade so it will boot into Mame. When I try the standard Mame, it cannot find any games. I have been able to run the same games on a Windows PC with no problems. I've copied the entire Mame directory to the Puppy Arcade bootable USB stick.

What am I missing? How do I tell Mame about the games?

Which version of MAME are you running under Windows? The version in the most recent version of Puppy Arcade is an older version, unfortunately, and most likely recognizes a different set of ROMs for each game than the newer version.

Since game sets are constantly being redumped and updated, the ROMs MAME looks for can change with each update of the program. Unfortunately, that often means what works with the latest version of the program may not work with earlier versions than that.

I haven't really seen any relatively recent versions of MAME/SDLMAME posted to the forum, much less know if any of them would work with Puppy Arcade 10. It wouldn't hurt to ask around (in the Requests section of the forum), though.

I'm using the latest one - I think it's .49. I can run the games on my Windows machines with no problems. But to do that, I had to create a game configuration folder.

Wish I could be more specific, but it was one of those things that I had been trying to get it working one weekend and when I finally succeeded, I don't remember what I did!

Hi guys. I just installed Puppy Arcade 10 last night. I am attempting to look for and figure stuff out on my own, but when I go to download a graphics driver, I get this page with like 25 things all in text that I have no clue what to do with. :\ Well anyways, I did an install to my HDD ext2 format and my main goal is to get the N64 emulator going. My system is an HP m7277c Media Center PC with a 3.00Ghz dual core Pentium, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 200GB 7200RPM SATA HDD, Geforce 210 silent graphics card with 1GB and a Logitech dual action PS2 style controller. I will also note that the layout of Puppy is totally unfamiliar to me and I don't know the language for the terminal. I've been with Linux about 2 years, but have become quite accustomed to Ubuntu based and Kde desktop, so I feel like I'm in preschool again. Thanks guys
Oh yeah, I tried to do the N64 on fresh install, but it said my plugin settings might be wrong and something about a file attempting to access secure files
