Thanks heaps for the work you guys have put in on this project.

sva_h4cky0 · 2009-10-26 15:48:08

Thx sir, i hope someday Arch will have official game repos, just like Ubuntu or OpenSUSE

Daenyth · 2009-11-21 19:07:15

Please have a look at our logo competition!

YamiFrankc · 2009-11-26 17:29:56

Great.
So what are some good games to try?

Daenyth · 2009-11-26 17:42:54

That depends what genre you want. I recommend checking out this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85356

YamiFrankc · 2009-11-29 23:16:49

Thanks Daenyth. Not sure about what genre i want, but i have downloaded nethack and toribash already

Daenyth · 2009-11-29 23:18:08

If you're starting nethack for the first time, you probably will want nethack-patch from the repo

YamiFrankc · 2009-12-03 20:45:05

Got the nethack-patch package .

But how do i get colors like in this shot?

Look into enabling the hpmon patch. They may also be using the statuscolors patch which unfortunately I can't include due to patch conflicts with dumplog. Hpmon provides a reduced version of that functionality.

CPUnltd · 2009-12-07 20:09:09

curious, can you guys include packages required to run specific emulators? I'm trying to run an emulator called pSX and am not sure what packages I need installed to get it running. As far as I know, it comes 32bit only. As you can tell by my post count, I'm pretty new around these parts and am trying to get myself familiar with what goes on around here. Thanks in advance!

Daenyth · 2009-12-08 01:45:24

Generally, playstation emulators require you to have a dump of the playstation BIOS to work. The BIOS is proprietary and not something we can legally distribute.

http://arch.twilightlair.net/ mirror is offline. Will it be back on soon or should I switch mirrors?

Stythys · 2009-12-20 09:16:06

it'll be back up within half an hour. sorry for the downtime >.<

ezzetabi · 2009-12-20 11:05:39

I updated the `generally' package in the aur, you should update it also in archgames.

Stythys · 2009-12-21 18:23:29

ok *now* it's back up. sorry again =P

ezzetabi- submit it in our bug tracker to make sure it gets done

oh, and thanks hrist for the new mirror ^.^

not looking for the bios... just the necessary packages to get it running. I'm installing arch64 and pSX is a 32bit program. The only thing I have figured out on my own is that it requires gtkglext (which requires gtk2)... but aside from that, I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm sure gtk2 has plenty of deps of it's own... but I'm just looking for the deps necessary to run pSX. There can't be too many, as I have run it on the few distros I have tried wtihout having to add anything besides gtkglext... but arch is designed to be built from the ground up, which means some deps that are usually in place because of other programs won't be there. I probably should start a separate thread for this, but was hoping the answer would be simple enough to not need to start something from scratch separate from this...

Jub · 2009-12-27 01:22:44

Thank you for this, now I can try out planeshift! :]

Stythys · 2010-01-21 04:32:51

we have a new domain =]

Daenyth · 2010-04-05 02:58:24

The main site is down at the moment, apologies. You can sync from one of our mirrors for the moment.

I installed Frets on fire's alarian mod, and when i run FoFiX i get

┌─[yamifrankc]──(~)

How can that be solved?
