I've created this pet package for you, which is a start... It doesn't look exactly the same in 4.3, but it's very close.

How to use it:

1. BEFORE you install the pet package, please backup the following, just in case.. Just make a copy of these files somewhere else...

/root/.jwm/
/root/.jwmrc-tray
/root/.jwmrc-traye

2. Install the pet package. Then...

3. Change the icon theme by going to "menu->desktop->desktop icon switcher"

4. Change the GTK theme to Clearlooks, by going to "menu->desktop->Chtheme GTK theme chooser"

5. Finally, go to "menu->desktop->JWM configuration->apply current GTK theme to JWM"

6. (Optional) If you want to replace the JWM files you backed up earlier, then go for it.. This may be an improvent, I didn't do it, though.

NOTE: You will need to restart JWM, and maybe X to see all the changes loaded correctly, usually for the taskbar.. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

No, I don't have any green icons.. No idea what's going on there!! Sorry...

And funnily enough, I added the 4.3 look to my install (Puppy Arcade V3 + OpenOffice.sfs) - now I've got the blue icons from 4.3!

New pet package added: A (slightly) improved emulator pack, better packaged...

Mirror 1 : http://www.sendspace.com/file/reeznx

Please post some mirrors if you can.

This pet package is 14mb smaller and has some other improvements - pSX and a few other emulators are already setup a little better 'out of the box'..

If you were experiencing any 'out of memory' errors while trying to install the previous pet package, please use this one and try again, I think it will work for everyone.

Main post updated.

yo

havent tried ur v3 yet, as v2 is workin coo for me

never got psx to work...stopped tryin.

n64 ran like ball sax on my eeepc

i got an monitor usb kybd/mouse/HD plugged in and they are all workin..just fyi

Somen u should include...as it would be the ulitmate gamen pup.. is Wine.. ive installed it and i can run some old school fps fine.. the only MP game i got working so far is Unreal Gold... but if u aint include a couple of roms..then i would see why u wouldnt include wine...microsoft might get pissed lol. but fuk em right?

What i am currently working on is Team Fortress 2....as i've got steam working, but.... if u sift through the forums u should see my post about it, it just runs like complete shit... idk wut 2 do with it...

i dont see an updated version of wine.pup as im 2 dumb to compile it myself... but im thinkin maybe its version of windows on wine...but idk how u would uprgade that...or just the simple lack of some good vid/audio drivers. I tried to run grand theft auto SA....i got a plane white screen when i tried to load the .exe... in which on another pc i attempted it on windows...but the pc had a 8mb onboard vid...so it obviously wouldnt run it...but drivers then.... idk i've typed to much im lost now. lool but if u got some insight on wine/tf2 lemme know.

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

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!

The Mob are supposed to be...."We are a top PC-Multiplayer clan based on Organization & Respect"

Where's the respect in coming back here and saying

Peace to you, too, Bro.....you just didn't need to add the dumper on your way out!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

To check more spectemu options, run in terminal:

Code: Select all

zx -help

This will tell you how to use it.. When running spectemu you can use:

Ctrl-c F10 Quit
Ctrl-k Keyboard
Ctrl-h F1 More help
Ctrl-t F2 Save snapshot
Ctrl-l F3 Load snapshot
Ctrl-p F4 Play tape
Ctrl-q F5 Reset
Ctrl-o F6 Pause/unpause tape
Ctrl-s F7 Stop tape
Ctrl-f Fast
Ctrl-n Normal speed
Ctrl-b Pause/Unpause emulator
Ctrl-m Toggle sound
Ctrl-y Toggle quick loading of tapes
Ctrl-\ F9 Refresh screen / reset keyboard
====================================

/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

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

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

Technically, I'd say it's on-topic, Puppy Arcade is for getting the most out of old PCs, so it's all good!

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!!
