uploading an updated build with 120gb hdd space

Great, man! This is what I will start off again. After 100 tries. Thanks!
Will you update all things like Pegaswitch, and other things by Reswitched?

 

[yardie]

uploaded updated image
its 100% homebrew ready with the latest version of pegaswitch

 

[Baoulettes]

Can that image be compressed ?
Not many will be able to download 11gb
I am downloading it and will see if it can be compressed

 

[yardie]

compressed it to 3gb
gonna upload now

When I boot from it, it writes:
"No such partition
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>"

here are the grub rescue commands i had to do to get it to work. im going to do a proper export in the mean time

grub rescue > ls
grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos3) #your msdos number might be different, but it more than likely will be 3
grub rescue > set root=(hd0,msdos3)
grub rescue > set prefix=(hd0,msdos3)/boot/grub
grub rescue > insmod normal
grub rescue > normal

thanks yardie for the work. I'm on 1.0 so don't think I can do anything just yet until I get Tetris or upgrade to 3.0, which I likely never will unless forced to.

Runro command dont working on this image too, can you confirm it working?

 

[yardie]

Can we have an option to get the repo with 32GB or less? For USB booting.

Thanks a ton though - your VM got retroarch running for me. No ideas what was wrong with the VM I created - I think I might have had an out-dated version of pegaswitch / ncat.

is there a benefit to using a 120gb virtual drive? I'm tempted to just reduce is to something like 4

When the scene pics up you're gonna need more than 4gb trust me. It's not 120gb now, it expands dynamically as needed.

I see that now. only using 11 gb currently. fair enough. any benefit to maxing out the CPU and RAM and video settings?
