Puppy Arcade v4 - now based on TurboPup - so your games run even smoother!! Very Happy

It's more focused on gaming, so it's a little smaller than before, and much faster!

Get the ISO now (108MB).. Main post updated.

Download V4 here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ud1fed

Please post a mirror if you can, I'll do it later... But I got connection issues again! Rolling Eyes

VBA-M.. Attached is a pet file of VBA-M, an improved GBA/GBC/GB emulator...
VBA-M will be included in future versions of Puppy Arcade.

This pet file should work out-of-the-box on any version of Puppy Arcade..
This version includes a gtk-dialog frontend, and menu entry..

Here are the libs required (all are already included in Puppy Arcade):

You managed to get VBA-M to compile?

(sighs) Now I have to find an TG-16/PC-Engine emulator that definitely works with the CD games... I turned mine on this evening, and for whatever reason, the CD drive doesn't want to spin up. Sad

I'll try Arcade soon, hopefully... I'm keeping the system I use Puppy on down at the moment, as the PSU fan seems to want to generate a lot of heat - enough to set off the smoke detector overhead, at four in the morning. Rolling Eyes

(I don't want to have to try to find a new PSU for a nine year-old system... Very Happy

UPDATED PET FILE: with GTK frontend and better icon

This is a new pet for a Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator

Spectemu works on Puppy Arcade and will be included in the next release..

A frontend is now included, which can be found in the menu, under 'Fun'

The frontend is simple, but works, allowing you to choose a rom and some display options...
Loading roms is now MUCH more simple Very Happy

To check more spectemu options, run in terminal:

/aside @Makoto

getting psu's for old PCs is as easy as Craig's list or ebay, search

Most go for less than £10/$15 - YMV if 'rare' but with a bit of redrilling/filing....not that hard

Normally dry/dirty fan bearings cause PSU overheats

apologies sc0ttman

I'm not entirely sure it is the PSU, actually. The thing is, the only real vent in the tower is also right below the PSU fan vent, and I didn't make absolutely sure which area the hot air was coming from... (the old scientific test of placing one's hand behind the tower Laughing

) I'll have to keep the side panel open and see if the fans are actually running, too. Embarassed

(Off-topic mode: off. Now, if only that switch would 'stick'... Razz

Newest version: Puppy Arcade v5 Live CD - 11th Nov, 2009

Mirror 1 (109mb, md5: 3f114a4ffce5d5299c86b0b8ad09e636)

v5 is a no-bling version, but it's user-friendly, while still being even faster ever!

It has a few large improvements and LOTS of little improvements.

Want bling like desktop icons and wallpaper? Easy! Just replace the contents of .xinitrc with the contents of .xinitrc-bling (or .xinitrc-nobling to remove bling again). Then restart X to see the changes.

I will not be releasing a new version for a long time now, as this one is a 'keeper' (worth keeping).
Also, there is not much more that I can do, personally!!

Main post updated.

Any mirrors posted will also be added to the main post..

Sorry to anyone who just downloaded v4!! Rolling Eyes
