As I mentioned in the Lemonade thread I am working on a solution to getting WHDLoad games/demos running from frontends.

This has proved to be problematic until now...

I have discussed the inclusion of this and it is confirmed with 2 frontends (Lemonade is one)

anyway here are some screenshots of the PREF making program and for the launcher for each game

This wont make a lot of sense until you see it running..

Here are shots of the game frontend.. this works off a prefs file with all info included.. You select your options and the frontend does the rest

*note not all of the WHDLoad functions are included yet.. only the more common.. if anybody requires a specific function including then let me know and I'll do my best (BUTTONWAIT is one example!)

here is the pref making program.. it auto scans the slave and tries to read the header info.. If the slave uses an offset different to the preset couple then you can check where the header starts with a hex viewer and then adjust accordingly (tho this is only recommended for those who know what they are doing)
