Want 'bling' like desktop icons and wallpaper? Easy!
Go to 'Menu->Desktop->Wallpaper', and set some wallpaper.
Go to 'Menu->Desktop->Emulator Desktop Bar' to show all emulators on desktop.
___________________________________
- Emulators for systems listed above
- Lots of multimedia programs and apps
- Desktop icons of all emulators (uses wbar), enabled from start menu
- VBA-M replaces VBA and gets a better frontend
- Spectemu added for ZX Spectrum emulation
- Firedog browser (custom browser, based on Firefox 2)
- WISH Rush - the dual pane file manager - is back
- lots of CLI and GTK-Dialog apps (even more than before...)
- New JWM and ROX settings, for better usability (and gaming!)
To enable OpenGL, you simply need to find the correct drivers for your
card in the puppy repositories, then download and install the relevant
.PET file. Then (optionally) follow the softwares' instructions and
restart X.
PETS FOR NVIDIA CARDS:
All Nvidia drivers are available http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop/ - nvidia-7186.pet for ancient nvidia graphics cards (riva TNT to Geforce 1).
- nvidia-9643.pet for most nvidia cards (officially Gf2 to Gf4 but tested on Gf7 OK).
- nvidia-100.14.19.pet for latest cards (Gf5 to Gf8).

Playing Roms:
For pSX, you'll need to download the psx bios file 'scph1001.bin' to '/usr/local/pSX/bios' (case-sensitive).
Playing Amiga roms: Download the kickstart files (kick13, kick20,
kick31), and put them in '/usr/lib/uae'. Right-click on one of the kickstart files and create a symlink called
'kick.rom'.
Playing Atari ST roms: You need to get the TOS file, and add it to
the location that Hatari tells you. You can find these files here: http://steem.atari.st/download.htm

Installation:
Please note that (for me, at least) the fastest, easiest and most
reliable way to install this to a hard drive or USB stick is simply to copy the Live CD files to a bootable device or partition. This will create a frugal install.

Older Version: Puppy Arcade v4 Live CD - 7th Nov, 2009
Also based on TurboPup, it works great but is missing VBA-M, Spectemu and a few other things. Bling not disabled in this one by default!
You can't own any bios or rom files of any consoles or games that you've never bought.
You've been warned, now have fun!

Anyway.. Hope you enjoy
