DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Er.. Semi-Reasonable Software Addon
Well.. what would make this perfect solving all problems with not many games is a NES emulator.. they are small run on lower end machines and can play thousands of games =)
Tuxnes
Heres Tuxnes, a bit less than 200 kb for the tar.gz
FakeNES
Fakenes, 93kb for the tar.gz
NEStra
NEStra, 50 kb for the tar.gz
Hopefully I wil not get completely flamed =)
man, playing nes games on dsl would rule!
your post reminded me of a distro i wanted to try, knoppix mame (http://freshmeat.net/projects/knoppixmame/). Havn't gotten around to downloading it yet.
I would but... I already went over the monthly bandwidth cap becuase I was downloading soo many linux distros =(
That'd be cool. I downloaded an NES emu for Linux and saved it to my harddrive for when I can finally boot to the harddrive DSL. The only problem would then be installing (i have some roms, just gotta move them from my NTFS harddrive to my webspace).
awesome.
i could write a tiny bash script for the installation, for those that dont quite know how to install from a tarball.
great idea. 
hell, here it is, quickstyle
#!/bin/bash
#lets assume that the tarball is in the /home dir, and we're using tuxnes
cd /home && tar zxvf tuxnes* && cd tux* && ./configure && make && make install && make clean
that should work. alls neede is the source tarball in the distro.
