Re: How to make romloader load on startup?

I HAVE read the readme thoroughly and cannot manage to make it work. I can load paloader on startup, but until I go in with a mouse/keyboard and press the "load" button, the romloader.cfg does not work, thus neither does the gamepad.

Anyone willing to step me through this? I'm sure its a series of moron-moments on my part.

Thank you.
Hmmm.. That's odd... Rom-Loader *always* loads up the 'romloader' profile when it starts ... If the profile is valid, it should work - it always works for me, on various system, with various pads...

------------------
Anyway.. I just tested a few methods, they all worked for me .. Here is the simplest one used:

1. Go to Rom-Loader->Settings->Joypads.. make sure your pad is working (click 'Detect' and 'Calibrate') and then setup the' romloader' joypad profile how you like, in Rom-Loader settings.

2. Open up /root/Startup/joystick-daemon in a text editor. Look at the last two lines:

Code: Select all

#quit
exit 0
..Before these lines, add the following commands:

Code: Select all

rejoystick1cc --load --profile romloader
paloader -f -s & 
...So to be clear, the end of the file will look like this:

Code: Select all

rejoystick1cc --load --profile romloader
paloader -f -s & 

#quit
exit 0

3. Save the script, close the text editor and make sure /root/Startup/joypad-damon is executable (right click on it, go to properties)..

4. Finally, restart the desktop... Rom-Loader should then load up and be navigable with your joypad.

----------------
That worked for me, all other methods are variations of this one.
(Note, using this method, clicking 'Detect' in Rom-Loader Joypad settings will load another Rom-Loader copy .. So dont click it, just let puppy detect ur pad when the desktop starts... )

If that doesn't work for you, try changing to a different gamepad, and then re-setup the 'romloader' joypad controls ..

Hello, I've installed Puppy arcade 11 and I cannot run Atari emulation. Always get a error "Emulation halted, you need an original Atari OS" or something like that. What should I do ? Thanks

Did you install the Atari BIOS in the Rom-Loader settings?

If so, maybe try switching to the other Atari emulator in Rom-Loader settings.

.. If ur talking about the Atari ST emulator (hatari), I cant help you - I have no idea how to make it work.

Hi there,

I'm currently thinking about using Puppy Arcade on my Asus Chromebox (Haswell-based Celeron CPU, model 2955U w/ integrated Intel GPU). I don't know which audio chip it has, I guess its a regular integrated Intel HD Audio chip there.

Does Puppy Arcade support such hardware properly so that it would run just like on a normal PC with a dedicated GPU?

Hello!

First and foremost, thank you for making such a wonderful distro! As someone who is still relatively new to the linux world, I really appreciate having something like puppy arcade with minimal setup involved for emulation. I have run into a bit of a snag, though...

I have mapped some profiles with rejoystick (for an old Logitech Dual Action), and everything seems great while setting it up. However, when I get into a game, the buttons on my joypad work, but my directional pad/analog sticks do not. After doing some research, I've noticed that a lot of people who have used JScalibrator experience this same issue, and that uninstalling it (and deleting any files it may leave behind) will fix the issue.

Since I am still in the process of trying to figure out how to uninstall JScalibrator, I figured I would come here to see if you have ever heard of a similar issue, and if you may know of any other workarounds for this. Thanks again!

Since I am here...

As someone who has setup emulators on plenty of grossly underpowered machines, I would say it depends on the emulator, but most of them should work fine.

Hi pmonacular, you're welcome. My pleasure .. I've been playing RR4 and Policenaughts on it :)

About your joypad problem:

You don't need to uninstall JSCalibrator .. It only calibrates if you tell it to..

I have a Logitech Dual Action which has messed up analog sticks - everything is in reverse until after I run the joystick calibrator thing (the 'Calibrate' buton in Rom-Loader settings) .. I also have another Logitech Dual Action which looks exactly the same but this one does not like being calibrated.

The JSCalibrator program probably leaves hidden files in the "/root" folder, I think.. (Click the 'Eye' to see hidden files, which start with a . )

The files you want to delete are probably at /root/.jscalibrator (file or folder) or something similar ... If nothing is in /root, then try /etc .. I can't guarantee that deleting the files will solve your problem.

So.. How to fix?

If browsing your roms in Rom-Loader with your joypad isn't even working after you setup the Rom-Loader profile, then try doing it both before and after re-calibration.. If that didn't help, try changing pads to be sure.

If, after setting up your Rom-Loader profile, you are able to successfully browse Rom-Loader using your pad, but not able to play games once they load, then check you have setup the profile for that emulator correctly, or setup the controls in the emulator correctly..

If you setup your controls during play from within the emulator itself, and it is not working, try using a different input plugin, or even a different emulator for that system..

If you are using Rejoystick to setup your gaming controls, and are sure that all controls are mapped correctly, ..... maybe try a different pad!

The mose recent version based on Slacko should work, although performance will be best on more powerful hardware I guess ... Not sure if you will be able to play N64, but most others yes. Even PCSX (for playstation) can run without 3d acceleration, if using the "Software renderer" .. It's all about getting settings that suit you.

Rom-Loader is just a bunch of shell scripts that rely on gtkdialog for browing roms, etc, and then sending command line options to various emulators once you chose a rom .... In other words, it should be easy enough to make it work on any linux that has gtkdialog and some of the supported emulators..

[note] to be honest, some parts of rom-loader are quite slow - building the rom list, for example ... if someone wanted it on the pi, that bits may need to be re-written in awk or something faster..

Puppy Arcade Slllooooowww

#54 Post by jeffrosie »

Hi there,

First of all, thanks very much for putting together Puppy Arcade, you've brought two I my favorite things together, Puppy Linux and arcade games.

I've had this working previously on a couple year old laptop, no problems, but I want to put a frugal install on a new computer I just built...playing around with the Live CD of the latest release Slacko Puppy Arcade 11 the games are slow, sound is slow, video is slow.

At first I couldn't get any games to run (in MAME), it would open a window then crash out...when I run debug I got this:

If I go to Settings and click Enable OpenGL, then the games work, albeit horribly slow.

I tried the video upgrade wizard, but it says I'm using Intel video and not applicable.

Please let me know if there is anything I can try or any more info I can post for you.

Cheers,
jeff

Hi jeffrosie,

What hardware are you trying to run it on? It might be too old for the most recent one..

If you tried the most recnt (slacko based) version .. You could try this one instead: http://akita.scottjarvis.com/puppy-arca ... .25.16.iso

It is *mostly* the same although targeted at older hardware ...

Hi jeff,

Have you tried the version of Slacko in which this latest Puppy Arcade is based?

Have you tried the k2.6.25.16 version of Puppy Arcade 11 (which is based on a completely different puppy)?

This should help us work out what the problem is, cos at the moment, I have no idea, sorry...

Am I correct in guessing you're using on-board Intel graphics?
If so, that might not be up to par on this puppy setup for some reason...

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried the Slacko version alone, but I did go back I think 4 versions all with the same problem...

Yes, I'm using the onboard video...this machine flies as you would expect with Puppy...just not the old school games. When I have some time I'll get back into trying to solve.

Cheers,
jeff

Thanks very much!

I am not sure if I can do a pet or SFS.. there might be no point - many of the emulators may only work on slacko .. ands that is quite likely .. certainly mednafen is fussy.. and others..

but.. i may re-release puppy arcade at some point ... i noticed the kernel in the slacko beta that i used has something messed up with joypad support - my ps2 to usb wont work on it.. it does in other pups..

so i will make sure to use a different base next time.. i will keep it recent as possible, hopefully without losing any of the goodies added to the 2.6.25.16 kernel i was using...

will be summer at the earliest...

sc0ttman, I salute you dude, this product is so appreciated.



However, not knowing very much about linux (I know a little more after last night :D ) I spent many many many hours trying to deal with networking.

The USB WLAN thing is a Asus USB N-13 (B1),
the A1 and B1 revisions are two very different chips, the one I'm trying to get going is Realtek rtl8192cu https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_USB-N13_rev_B1

When I try to connect to my network with the correct WPA2 key, I get a kernel panic and num- and capslock blinks.

So, I have tried blacklisting drivers, installing new ones, tried Windows drivers but man... I will not give up, but some help could be really great.

When the kernel panics, you get alot of text onscreen - can this be found in some log after a reboot?

OH ALSO! I have to generic (made in china) NES controllers with USB-jacks. These pop up in in Windows as a regular gamepad, what do I have to do to get Puppy Arcade to find them?

Sc0ttman has not replied, so here is a suggestion. The in-kernel version of the rtl8192cu driver is notoriously bad. So I have attached a better one built from vendor sources. It is specifically for the latest Puppy Arcade - Slacko 593, k3.4.94.

Please report back.

Thanks, but I can't get it to work. I have "rtl8192c_common" and "rtl8192cu" blacklisted, but this way, I have no wlan-device showing at all.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I whitelisted the rtl8192c_common and then suddenly it worked! THANKS ALOT MAN!

Excellent. Just to be sure, do a reboot and confirm that your blacklisting holds.

I don't have a copy of Puppy Arcade, but the driver works fine for me in the base Slacko 593.

Well now that I've got networking going, and I've managed to transfer alot of roms via ftp, I need to get the gamecontrollers/gamepads working.

Could someone guide me here? Is there a "dmesg" something command to see whats connected to the usb ports?

Please :)
