I can't find that list of supported joysticks, but it can't be completely unsupported if it is being detected in "Joypad Calibrator".

No luck wiith rejoystick from the terminal though.

Hmmm... maybe it's not fully supported, and is being recognised incorrectly as something else..

You could also try joy2key (or something)... Dingo has posted it in the Games section of this forum...

This what I do for multiboot Puppies.

The third last post.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58305&start=30

"""""""""

For Puppy Arcade I Call the folder >>> puppyarcade

And I add this to my menu....

title Puppy Arcade (sdc1/puppyarcade)
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /puppyarcade/initrd.gz
kernel /puppyarcade/vmlinuz pmedia=usbflash psubdir=puppyarcade
pfix=fsck
initrd /puppyarcade/initrd.gz

////////

So use the Hiren's formatter...posted there....zip file.

Next >> Hirens Grub4dos...zip

Extract >> Hirens grldr - makes USB multi bootable

to your usb.

My folder names and many other Puppy menus are there.

Just works...just boots.

Chris.

Subject description: Can't get past grub on first boot up

Either I didn't understand it or I just too new.
I gave all that a shot and got no where.
I'm not trying to use other programs to get past the first boot dialog grub screen. But thank you for the try

Try the "frugal installer" instead of "universal installer".. the frugal installer will most likely setup everything for you, but the universal installer is not so clever (although it is required to do a full install, as opposed to a frugal install).

Hi Scottman,
Pupdoom just got better^_^

As a doom fan, I also play some other source ports. Zdoom is much more advanced, but not open source. It has a distribute to be played license and that is all.

I've been recently using Odamex on windows, but I cannot get it to compile with sound in puppy. An online doom program would be a fun addition.

With the addition of libagar it gains a frontend, not pupdoom obviously, but it comes with a wad launcher built in.

Welcome back Ale! Long time... odamexd looks great... I think I will have to give it a go, although I'm not expert at compiling!

And here's the latest pupdoom frontend, if you have not yet seen it, and want it... It maybe updated from the last version you have, maybe not...

It might need running in the terminal and checking for errors, but should work ok.. Does on mine..

Code:

#!/bin/sh

#make some shortcuts. Most for easy typing, but also for flexibility

# set some vars as defaults
export FULLSCREENGUI=''

Prboom Help:
=====================
PrBoom is a game engine - it provides a program to play Doom levels, but
it doesnt include any levels itself.

So to play PrBoom, you need an IWAD file from id
Software - either doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad or plutonia.wad

You also need prboom.wad. You can use the BIOS-checker to install it."</default>

It is recommended that you install it with BIOS-Checker, as this will be loaded by pupdoom, if installed, and auto download your prboom.wad file Smile

(note, the icons are missing from the BIOS-Checker pet file!... oops)

You're welcome. I keep thinking I should release the basic one the Doomworld forums so that other prboom linux users have something to work with. I pulled the version from Puppy Arcade 10 which is closest to what I made a year and a half ago while abroad in Costa Rica. I have not touched it since then (I can barely read code now:( ).

I like how you added a way for people to download some usable files before they start. The /usr/share/games/doom is the default wad directory. It took compilation of prboom-plus (which I have attached below for you to try) to finally learn this. It is recent as the 11th of May.

I have also discovered that the binary and both versions of the the frontend, current puppy arcade and newer do not seem to like capitals because they ignore my DOOM2.WAD.

Code:

cd /usr/share/games/doom

puts us in the default directory for the wads.

You can remove the MBF variable if not using the dogs switch is not being used^_^

The new one is a lot easier to navigate for the iwad or main game file, but I can't figure out how to start the game. Is there an easy button to play the game?

I think you've done more for this project then I have. I only put in the non-binding copyright to check my name in on it:P Add yourself to the list of authors.

If you can be bothered, I would... I found the easiest way to package things like GTKDialog frontends for other stuff may be a program called CDE..

Thanks... I have to re-check what dir I am using, can't remember, but I will update if need be.. If I can! Hopefully I didn't hard-code the path anywhere!

Hmm... I will look into this and fix it! Thanks for noticing... I didn't..

There should be a button at the bottom right, first one, should say "Play" or "Start" or something... At work right now (yeah, working hard!), so I can't double check... Also double clicking on the wad should work, I tested with about 5 or 6 different ones.. But I'm no expert.. Plutonia, Doom1, Doom2, some others.. they worked... But the "Counter Strike" wad, didn't Sad

I might... But zigbert very kindly did a lot of the file chooser stuff for me, so I just mixed your work with his, really...

Thanks very much, glad you like it... Any questions, post them here, if I can't help I am sure another more experienced Linux user can step in and help as well...

Happy gaming!

I have it setup to work on my TV - I needed to install the correct Nvidia drivers for my card, and then setup the 2nd screen in the Nvidia settings GUI thing... I use s-video, as I have an older, crapper video card (and TV)... But it works fine... I setup joypad navigation for "Rom-Loader" - so I can load my ROMs using the joypad... It all works pretty well..

Hi!
I have a Nvidia Geforce4 420 go on my notebook and I'm searching for the nvidia-96.43-k2.6.25.16.pet package driver. The link in the first post
http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop/
doesn't have it anymore.
Has someone saved it somewhere over the net?
Could he kindly post a link to it?
It's a shame to see 'direct rendering: no' running glxinfo.....
Many thanks! Smile

I'd love to help you out but don't know where the .PETs have gone... If I ever find them again, I'll make them available at ppm.scottjarvis.com

For now, you could go here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us ... You will need the 'devx' installed to build the drivers.. Then to use the downloaded driver installer thing, there are guides on the forum, but it's basically a 'click next a lot' kind of jobbie...
