No it installs it to Program Files/Amiga Arcade Launcher/
Look in AutoPlay/Games/... that where winuae is..

Here is a video of the Amiga Arcade Launcher And Amiga Doom Error and it show you where the files are and in what folder..

Just tested Amiga Doom and works fine. I had to change some display resolution setting (pressing f12) because first time i tried it has very small window. Some resolution what i tried caused this same error but after change it, problem disappear.
Using Windows 7 64bit.

In Windows XP it works great, and remember than before it had (only I had) too the problems with the quick finder. Edit: The installation progress bar working too.

In Windows 7 don't know what the problem is with Key Extender. Trying another key remap programs they don't work (but in fact key extender is the only one that works with WinUAE). Have to try what spannernick says.

so you would say its the resolution then..??

Oh updated the games page on cbmborg..

I suposse that now synchro will update other lauchers to have the quick finder working. A game I would like to see in the Commodore one is Black Hawk (nice Ride of Valkyries music), and for SNES Michael Jordan Chaos in the Windy City, a very curious game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JOb9t5Dj5c

I changed the resolution in the Display settings but it don't make a difference...????

[spannernick]

I have added a c64 flash emulator on the emulator page so you can play it online,go and have a look and see what you think.

Could you make a version of C64 and Amiga Launchers without the bootmenu,you could put in a Page.Jump in there so it goes to the next page and bypasses it so goes to the main menu,if you want to exit you just need to press the exit button anyway(it dose the same thing and I think it would look better without it,I am using my own menu to boot them)...?????

Resolution is default i have found on anything i have tested it on....I think its more a hardware issue you have rather than a software one....what gfx card and memory do you have ??
If its onboard GFX you may never get doom to run ?

To much to finish at the moment .....A lot of users are using them for dedicated machines and like the boot menu....They drop the desktop icon into the start menu on thier PC so it boots straight to that.....I can look at an option on the installer in the future maybe for a choice but it wont be anytime soon

I have tried Amiga Doom on my Laptop and that is a Acer Aspire 5552 (AMD Athlon II X2 P320,ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250,3 GB DDD3 Memory,320 GB HD) and it don't work on it too..??

Yes thats how I boot it(from startup folder on start menu) but I use my own menu,its the one I posted a few posts back,maybe once you have finish everything you make one without the boot menu,I understand it take a long time making all the pages(over 30 of them for each launcher)there is no rush anyway,we have all the time in the world..

Oh one more thing,I have a mp3 you could use if you like,it a mix of different Amiga game music that I made for Amiga Hits Radio..its below..A present for you for making the launchers..

Oh and another idea I had:
I put a button on the top right hand corner of my menu and it changes the music,I have 3 mp3s and when I click on the music button it plays the music but while its play I press the button in the top right hand corner and it skips to the next mp3..cool..

mmm..My Aspire don't have that res... it has 1280x768 and i tried that and still not working(same error comes up)It should work on this laptop its Acer Aspire 5552 so thats it a good make,must be my graphics,Plays LA Noire but not this..(DAM AMD SHIT..oops)...???? Anyone else want to throw me a bone..

[janikosk]

Pc windows 7 64bit. probably you have some kind hardware issue? I dont understand anymore why you got this errors Very strange...

[synchro]

Ye i think its hardware but maybe not gfx cuz the video you showed went as far as the loading screen so the res seems ok....However you are assuming its a res problem when it could also be a sound issue.....seems before the sound and music kicks in on your vid the game kicks out ? worth a thought maybe

[Retrofan]

Synchro which launcher are you finishing first?

Will you add Black Hawk for the C= one?

[fishyfish]

Would be cool if someone made one of these game launchers for Amiga (for, not of). While there's restrictions as to what systems are available (assuming 68k) there's still some good options. MagiC64 is pretty decent for '040 upwards, speccy is well covered, TRS-80, Amstrad CPC, Gameboy, BBC, master system, nes, apple2 and a few others. UAE/Amithlon systems also provide potential for snes,megadrive,neogeo,atari st, archimedes, and probably a few others.

I appologize if Ive already typed something to this effect earlier in the thread. Ive been thinking about it for a while everytime I see this thread on the main page, so it's not impossible Ive already written it and forgotten

[synchro]

The idea is good but i can see that others like c64 and speccy etc launchers are to emulate those machines on an Amiga so its unlikely someone will make an Amiga emulator for an Amiga but i know thats " NOT " what your talking about.

You mean a front end for launching Amiga games on workbench which is a very good idea...I will have a look into it to see what can be done ?

Good idea you could make it boot WHLoad games to make it easer.but how would you go about making one maybe using amos maybe..you wouldn't be able to use the launchers they are made for windows only...???..:S

[synchro]
