X-bEnCH 0.3 Alpha
X-bEnCh, the game launcher (& More) is back in 2k+12 with a new release.
What's new ? - Curt Cool as joined the team as musician so there's 3 new cool songs from Curt Cool (Menu, launcher and setup). - Can now use manual/script launch list as like as whdload/exe. - New "Floppy look" loading screen when launching a game/tool. - The suffixe .slave or .exe in now blanqued in the list launcher. - Fadding/Unfadding effect added. - Sliding color effect added on the main menu text. - Code optimised (Faster and smaller) - Resolved some bugs. You can download this release here: http://xbench.online.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32 A short short video is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgA5h...OaSLhSRfd_ANgz |
I have tested this new version quickly this evening, to my point of view:
I like the new musics in the menu and the launcher, less the setup one. New launcher look, no more .slave Faster games select. Good job Jim, go on :great |

A reassemblation of xinit.exe with a simple peephole optimizer saves more than 1000 bytes. |

But remember that's still just an alpha release ;) |
I gave this a quick test and it has some nice features - very powerful scanning engine that can search all subdirectories in a given path or assign.
I did find it changed the Workbench colours when starting and left them changed when exiting. Although I'd imagine this is more of a boot time launcher. Also, it desperately requires a method to jump quickly to letters of the alphabet - by either using left and right to jump to A then B then C etc or sorting games by letter. The long list takes a long time to navigate. Also seems to take quite a bit of memory. It is however alpha and its nice to see it moving along. Anyway, always nice to see free projects like this and appreciate the work. :) |
