Puppy Arcade 10
Hey thanks for the reply, yes I've got it sorted now and yes I did find the pupdoom script and it is indeed text format. If you read back through my last post I've been having a bit of trouble of a different kind as well and wonder if you might take the time to see if you can help me out.

just a guess, but do you have any save files for other puppies around on that drive, or even others?ampersand wrote:This hasn't been working to well for me.

have you tried re-installing puppy arcade by booting a live CD and running the frugal installer? .. you could try booting with pfix=ram to make sure no save files are being loaded..

i'm having a look at something similar at the moment (whenever i get time!), but i am no expert at all.. looks like you would know more about ssh stuff than me... but after i have finished with some stuff i will have a look and see if i can help..rfxcasey wrote:Hey thanks for the reply, yes I've got it sorted now and yes I did find the pupdoom script and it is indeed text format.

Yes as a matter of fact; I have my Slacko 5.3 sfs on here. I've not got a CD drive but I'll have a go with a USB stick.sc0ttman wrote:just a guess, but do you have any save files for other puppies around on that drive, or even others?ampersand wrote:This hasn't been working to well for me.

hello everyone
my name is eric and im a first time poster and very new linux user i actually found arcade puppy looking for a os i could run off a usb drive since i was given i desktop pc w/o a hard drive on which i intended to use strictly for emulating so puppy arcade is perfect and absolutely brilliant thank you so much scott however i can not get the play station or nintendo 64 emulators to work im sure im not doing something right im just not sure what it is here is my computer and what i have done so far
computer:
nascar pc by cisnet
processor-amd athlon 64 bit 2.0ghz 3200+
chipset-radeon xpress 200
graphics-ati radeon x300
steps taken:
after installation i expanded the storage file to 2 gb ( b/c previously i had recieved a message about the ati catalyst not having enough space to be uncompressed and thought this was my problem)
installed firedog browser
then in order to get xorg working i downloaded the xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-i486.pet xorg driver
wasn't sure if i should get xorg_xorg_dri mentioned in the earlier pages of the forum so i downloaded that for good measure
(xorg worked and the nes and snes emulators are functioning properly now)
then i thought i might need the ati-catalyst-9.3-K2.6.29.6-puppy4.3beta1.pet to get opengl working to allow me to play the playstation and nintendo 64 emulators (but when i tried to open them it said that there was not enough storage space to uncompress it but that i could use something in the menu to correct this however i could not figure out how to do that and i decided to start over from scratch and take the first step above)
now i have no clue what to do to get the emulators working now and thats why im on here looking for help im not sure if i have everything i need and im not using everything correctly, if there is something im missing, or something i am doing incorrectly any help would be greatly appreciated (also upon downloading larger playstation roms i received a storage space error not sure if correcting one thing will correct the other but any insight on this also would be wonderful)

My guess is that in fact you need more space on the drive if it's asking for it.
How big is your card? If it's fairly large, all you have to do is look in the System menu for the "resize personal storage file" option. It's not the fastest way, but the easiest.
Puppy resizes a personal storage file once per boot. So if you can select more than 2GB in the first try, do it. If you want to select something substantially higher, this is a two pass process.
1) move the roms and downloaded items to another drive so they aren't lost. Puppy places all your items-- including ROMs-- in the save storage file. What this means is that what you select for your save storage file is the size of your "hard drive". If you download 1.5GB of ROMs on a 2GB install... well, that might be the problem. The good news is that you can move the ROMs to another HD or another flash drive with drag-and-drop ease.
2) If you haven't downloaded many, or don't care about downloading a couple again, or have moved them and want more space anyway-- the easiest way to fix this is to delete the save file you've created altogether. (Note: you should not do this within your Puppy instance because this would be like deleting the Operating System on your hard drive while you're running it-- in theory it can be done, but a lot of the time you end up saving a corrupted file and crashing the system.) From another instance of Puppy or whatever you are using, look at your flash drive and find the save file (it has the extension you gave a name to the first time.) Delete the file. Restart Puppy and -- voila!-- your system remembers nothing, and you can make a new giant save file. (I prefer 4GB to start).
I don't use Arcade Pup (I'd like to try it one day) but all Puppies have strong similarities in their design, so these steps are fairly general. Hopefully it's happy gaming!
Hi... Here's what you need to get OpenGL/DRI (3d acceleration) working for ATI cards in puppy arcade:eric.perdue1 wrote:hello everyone
http://akita.scottjarvis.com/Ati-Cataly ... .25.16.pet
You shouldn't need any other xorg or ati related packages...
You should start with a 'fresh' install.. I recommend booting without a save file: you can choose "Puppy Arcade in RAM" (or something) in the boot menu...
There is also another, much newer ATI Catalyst package at akita.scottjarvis.com, but I don't think it'll work in Puppy Arcade... (this one: http://akita.scottjarvis.com/ati_fglrx- ... -akita.pet)..
Hope that helps...

Hi.
Having a problem. The system tells me that there are no more space left on my harddrive. Its a 80Gb disk and i used gparted to make a new ext3 volume for a clean puppy10 install. As you can see from my attached image there are no place to even write a romlist. Why is it that rest of the available disk is in directory /initrd/mnt/dev_save ?
Hope anyone has a solution to this.

puppy arcade wont run on virtualbox, on w7 64
Judging from a lack of response to @vitti92, im not sure this thread is still active ... but hey ho, who knows? anyway ...
Trying to run PA as a live disc on virtualbox which is a host running on Windows 7 64, get as far as videowizard, select x.org, then it goes black, and that, is that. If I select vesa, goes grey, and that is that.
Anyone got any ideas at all? Thanks

Hello,
The framebuffer menu xorgwizard uses doesnt
show up in Vbox! It functions, but does not display.
Repeatedly pressing enter will get you a 640x480
screen. Memorizing the correct # of "down arrows"
before "enter" can select a proper resolution.
Xvesa should work. Idk why you get grey screen.
Try "enter" a few times!
