Looks pretty cool. I guess this would be perfect for old laptops hanging around ;), provided they could emulate some games.

I have an old arcade cabinet which I've been putting off renovating as a MAME setup. Sounds like I have no excuse any longer...

You made me google Wii emulation and it came back with this incredible project - http://dolphin-emu.org/. That was news to me. Looks sweet. I'll check it out later, for sure.
But nope - doesn't look like Puppy Arcade incorporates it.

You made me google Wii emulation and it came back with this incredible project - [http://www.dolphin-emulator.com](http://www.dolphin-emulator.com)/. That was news to me. Looks sweet. I'll check it out later, for sure.Yeah I started messing with it back in 2009 but even back then I was able to get it looking better than a real wii and you can even setup wii controllers. There wasn't any network support back then and Im not sure if there is now.
But nope - doesn't look like Puppy Arcade incorporates it.

Looked nice. Tried installing on my laptop and it detected almost none of my hardware. It didn't even detect my HDD. Perhaps I will try again whenever they decide to update it. Downloading Groovy Arcade Arch instead.

No 3d games (no 32 bits systems like ps1 or saturn), and a very old kernel... It's for low computers systems ?

I've done some updated builds, with new kernels..
Check the homepage or forum..
In all builds, PSX, Dreamcast are supported..
Some are extra packages in repo..
But PSX, N64 supported out of the box..
Dolphin can be compiled of course, like any other program..
And of course, any Windows emulators can be used,
if you install WINE from the repo..
