it was very cool if v6 was like "turbopup extreme based" but with 4,3,1..because I have somewhat a bug with my mouse with 4.2..you can see it here:

For people like me that has 3dfx cards (maybe it is the same with others),just install the driver for your card,not the full dri package that is on the drivers page..but if you want dri install the non full package of dri (it is on repos too),that way your card will work :)

Could you please remove those links on your main post... as well as any other sites/hints to stuff like that ( like your google hot-linking to ps1 bios ) because what is on those sites are not legally distributable.

This is like me saying "Hey, there's this great distro that I can't include anything with because of legal reasons...but here's some sites where you can acquire the files illegally!"

Thanks.


When one reads the very fine print in the 'Licenses' which
apply to 'intellectual property' such as software, firmware
or other commercially manufactured 'property' which is
offered for 'sale' one finds that the 'Person' who is liable
for 'prosecution' for any alleged infractions of the 'terms
and conditions' of the License Contract is a "Commercial
Business Entity Person" who is engaged in the business
of Commerce.

Copyright Law is limited to enforcement against competing
"Commercial Business Entity Persons" (corporations) who
violate the Terms and Conditions of Commercial Contract.

While "demnlet" may have honorable intentions with
respect to his 'warning' quoted above, unfortunately,
he/she hasn't done his/her legal due diligence.

The Flesh and Blood Man or Woman (a non-commercial
living creation) is exempt from any such restrictions
unless the Man or Woman is a "General Partner" of any
such "Commercial Business Entity Person."

Legally, a "person" is capable of being many things.

When in doubt read the applicable 'laws' very carefully
and pay particular attention to the "Terms and Conditions"
of any commercial "Contract." Be certain to 'know and
understand' the nature of the 'Person' to which the laws
apply.

There is far too much disinformation circulating with
respect to what is 'legal' or 'illegal' for one's own
personal recreation. Please do not allow the fears
of the mis-informed to prevent you from enjoying
the 'legal' pursuit of recreation.

Unless "You" (the Commercial Business Entity Person)
are 'copying' and 'selling' as a violation of a
Commercial Contract in order to 'profit' then no
'illegal action' has taken place.

This is well established International Law.

In truth, the Judges are very much aware. Unless the 'people' take
steps to overcome their 'lack of knowledge' (as in studying and
researching) with respect to "Who and What" they are, the Judge
is left with little choice with regard to prosecution or judgment.

By our own 'ignorance' we fall into may pits.

And therein lies the SOURCE of the problem Jo Individual faces....

It's their insistence on feeding us 'Little Island in the World' mentality in a 'Globally Corporate Environment' that irks me

That, and the fact that we don't have a culture of rights championing by the Lawyers/Barristers who are supposed to be upholding our rights for us

Me, I'm a great believer in promoting common law - find something in print on the topic by a higher court & PUBLISH IT

[that's just for effect, as googlebot is my publisher :wink: ]

Thanks again for the tip, Hugh, now amplified/published farther afield - :lol: :lol:

btw - Do you have a citing for the International case law? :D

V5 works great on my desktop computer, running NOP413!

However, on my laptop running Fatdog112 (I believe based on 412) when I click on Properties, Gxmame seems to crash and close. I've run arcade from a terminal, when I've clicked on properties and Gxmame closes, the last message in terminal says 'segmentation fault'.

Any ideas on how to correct this?

Not entirely sure without being able to test it myself, but run the 'ldd' command on gxmame, it will tell you all the dependencies, and will probably be that some of these libs need to be updated...

It's possible that Puppy Arcade replaced some libs.
Maybe copying some of these libs from your NOP install may help..

But I may be wrong, as this would possibly affect many apps, not only MAME :(
Sorry I can't help you more, but it's a place to start...

In your terminal (rxvt) type ldd /path/to/mame

Of course, you must replace /path/to/mame with the actual path.. It will show you all the dependencies used by mame, so you know what may affect it working..

VICE emulator now available for Puppy

#156 Post by sc0ttman »

VICE - Commodore Emulator

Direct Download

I've managed to get Vice working and packaged, all libs included. This has been tested in 4.3, but not in 4.2.. yet..

It emulates lots of Commodore systems, and has a separate file for each - so I've added a quick fontend to choose the system.
This is the dialog on the right of the screenshot below.

This is 10mb installed, WAY bigger than Frodo, but a lot of people have requested it, so here it is..
It may or may not be included as default in future versions of Puppy Arcade.

Installation:

Install the pet as usual..

Playing ROMS:

You need to find and download all the Commodore rom files (basic, chargen, kernal, etc) for the relevant systems, and put them in /usr/lib/vice/[system] before you can load the emulators.

I thought VICE actually came with the system ROMs, though. Not sure about the C128 as I never tried it (was a C64 user, and never got around to getting a 128 :( ). I think I also tried the Vic-20 emulation at least once (had a relative with one :/)

This version didn't come with the required roms/bios when I found it - the provider stated that they cannot provide the roms in the same package for legal reasons. I got them from 'elsewhere' :)

I didn't get roms for all systems, but everything that I checked worked fine.

But... the packaged binaries (at least the Windows versions) from the VICE site do contain them, if I remember correctly.

Puppy arcade can't delete shortcuts from desktop

#160 Post by rfxcasey »

I accidentally dragged 2000 roms from a usb drive to my desktop. They are all right on top of one another and I can't select them all at once to delete them so I have to do it one at a time. HELP! I am also having problems where my sound setting is being saved when I reboot. Sometime after a reboot it says it can't find the desktop wallpaper. Love the distro but I need some help please.
