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? [ScOttman's answer to this question is here.] |

I am trying to install AdvanceMENU - I have compiled it and run config but now I can't find the bin - is this a futile pursuit? |

ok actually I only ran the configure script - looks like that just checks for dependecies. Everything looks ok except for a warning: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting. Next step in the AdvanceMenu BUILD doc says: To compile run 'make'. Forgive my noobish ways, but I then run ./make in the advancemenu directory and I get bash: ./make no such file or directory. I am not that familiar with make - I guess it wants parameters? like source and destination?? I will post progress. [edit] ok im reading man make and attempting to compile... |

ok well looks like ./make -f Makefile install got some results - im kinda plodding around here in the dark obviously - anyway it looks like its creating some files /usr/bin/ginstall -c -d -m 755 /usr/local/bin etc... so this seems to be progress... waiting for make to finish then I will ... uh oh got some warnings "enumeration value 'saver+shutdown' not handled in switch" same with saver_exit - maybe thats a score saver or prefs saver? anyway the rest of it seems to be moving along quite well, its creating a bunch of obj files... ok its done looks like there is only one error - appears that there is some error in the vsdl.c SDL_VideoInfo has no member named current_w etc. etc. ill try install next |

Ok I am getting back into this can of worms today. Didn't get anywhere with AdvanceMENU - seems that one error is critical and a major issue - I am going to try and contact the authors and see if they can provide any assistance. I am also considering just creating a front-end in Adobe AIR - I almost think that would be easier. Just add in paths to roms,art,binary,xml game list and boom - new fe sounds simple - should only take what an hour maybe?
