    Last I heard AngelLinux is or was working on a puppy linux spin with all of the common emulators built in. It appears to have been based on Puppy Arcade with a few small UI modifications. Honestly, it needed some serious DE work, but at least it has most of the emulators available.



    Here's a link to that distribution here; http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...tro-For-Gaming

    And here's a link to full rom sets here on the forums; http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...ete-ROM-Sets)*
    "I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"

    Only distro I know of that comes with emulators built in is the RetroPi image for the raspberryPI Linux micro-computers. I've never heard of any distros coming with all the roms too, that seems like it would be such a massive DL.
    I'm listening but I don't hear very much...

    The best thing to do would be to run a decent emulator front end on Windows instead as it guarantees better compatibility. Beware though, the sizes can start to spiral out of control with the sheer number of games and extras and I haven't even finished PS2 or Gamecube. There is clearly no distro which could be anywhere near this large.

    Look up "Ultimate edition - Gamers". It's a linux Distro based off ubuntu thats been modified. There's a gaming edition available with games and emulators. Give it a try.

    Here's a link to try http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate...dition-gamers/

    I think the main release of it has pre installed stuff also
