All of these packages are located in separate github repositories. Here's direct links:
EAB.WHDLoad.Games.AGA.Menu.2.6.0.zip EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.AGA.Menu.2.6.0.zip EAB.WHDLoad.Games.OCS.Menu.2.6.0.zip EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.OCS.Menu.2.6.0.zip Since the installation is a bit techinal, I have started building a Windows installer to create start menu items for easy use. It will also include all packages and target size will be ~250mb. |

A Windows installer sounds great, btw. ;) |

Also note that downloading WHDLoad games explicitly makes the process automatically illegal. The user has to be the one which provides the download address in order for your program to stay legal. From a legal perspective, pre-installing packs of WHDLoad-ed games requires the user to own these games already, if they do not own them then the legal question which pops up is why would they expect to be able to install them automatically? If they own these games they likely already have a WHDLoad library which you could use to build the HDF. An alternative would be to script WHDLoad to install the games one by one into the HDF with the user providing the original floppies. And the better alternative would be Zetr0's proposition to obtain proper licensing from the owners. You could then have a "free but with floppy based installation" version or a "fully pre installed version with a fee to cover the licensing cost". |

If I understood cyberhead97 correctly, he wants the HstWB install script to just set up a framework for starting games (in addition to having a light but powerful WB install), using properly licensed Amiga Forever kickstarts and Workbench disks. You'll have to copy over your games yourself. |

Using WIX I have managed to build at msi installer so installation of hstwb installer is similar to any other Windows program installation with start menu shortcuts created to run scripts and edit settings file. I hope users will find this approach more user friendly than downloading or cloning github repository. You can download the release here hstwb-installer.1.0.0.zip :). |

Nice! What does the msi installer install atm? Just WB + HstWB + BetterWB? Or the AGS2/iGame packs too (the screenshots, menus etc)? (Travelling with work, so can't check right now.) |
The msi installer installs HstWB installer and following packages:
- BetterWB.4.0.0 - HstWB.1.0.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.AGA.Menu.2.6.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.OCS.Menu.2.6.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Games.AGA.Menu.2.6.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Games.OCS.Menu.2.6.0 After installation, setup, run or settings are easily accessed from start menu. A suggested installation for A1200 would adding following packages using setup script: - BetterWB.4.0.0 - HstWB.1.0.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.AGA.Menu.2.6.0 - EAB.WHDLoad.Games.AGA.Menu.2.6.0 Note that AGA menu contains 200 color screenshots and OCS contains 12 color screenshots. If both EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.AGA.Menu and EAB.WHDLoad.Demos.OCS.Menu packages are added, they would overwrite each other. |
I found a new quick and easy way to create and modify games HDF (thanks Ransom1122).Download this program (http://www.pspad.com/it/download.php) is free to change the startup-sequence.
You must mount the file HDF of a game in WinUAE or FS-UAE Amiga Forever or other and copy them the startup-sequence in a folder (Work) and then edit it to PC with this app. |

Once modified startup-sequence by WinUAE copy it in Test \ s and overwrite it. |
So, you say you've found a text editor?

Here is the startup-sequence. |

For all those using WinUAE with ClassicWb, here is the path to load a game Hdf to change.
|
You do know that every operating system – from AmigaOS to Windows – already comes with several text editors?

Apologies, but I'm not quite sure what this thread is about.
This is just something that I do for the A600/A1200 CWB & WHDLoad games. Instead of having a large enough HDF for CWB & WHDLoad games I use the CWB HDF for the System and CF0: for the Games & Kickstarts. That way, I can use any CWB without having to have the WHDLoad games on every Sys: HDF. All you need to do to get it working is to assign Devs: to CF0:Devs (for the kickstarts) Just an Idea. |

The installer still seems cumbersome for some and a prepared HDF, which installs it-self like CWB appears to me the preferred use, which I fully understand given the easy installation BloodWych has built into his HDF's. I'm currently working on an extension of the installer, so it can build such a self-installing HDF, which can be installed almost the same way as CWB. |
I have only taken up the idea of ransom1122 to create hdf games, that seemed a bit complicated and I made it easy. Everything here.
I would like to create a video tutorial but I have problems with my computer. |

@enzoboss your contribution is great, but I think you should open your own thread because this thread is about another idea.
