Shell Replacement

amiga · 10 May 2008, 10:35

It would be nice if one day WinUAE became a full Windows Shell replacement option.
It's possible already to replace Explorer.exe with WinUAE.exe, although it's not so seamless as one would expect.

Id welcome further suport for this - although ive done this before there are a few problems.

This is a 'feature' I'd certainly like to see better integrated...
...doable, but I suspect it would be a low priority.

I wonder if it's feasible for Toni to implement a seamless winuae integration, similar to this one:

It would be very cool !!

"I don't know how to do it."

No RTG documentation and/or opensourced RTG implementation.

Implementing this probably needs some kind of special RTG implementation + layers.library patching etc..

Thanks for the reply Toni

Wish I could help - sadly I'm no the software developer phase space.
