C64 Launcher for netbooks - Page 5

Retrofan · 13 March 2012, 22:56

I've noticed my download wasn't complete. It appeared so, but it has 9mb. While trying to download it was saying it would take 5 hours 40 minutes.

synchro · 13 March 2012, 22:56

Ok let me try and sort this out...

Retrofan...ok i made a modification that may have been a mistake by the sound of it

I will look at these probs in the next hour

Retrofan · 13 March 2012, 22:57

No, we posted at the same time. It can be too, but anyway I think there's a problem to download it.

synchro · 13 March 2012, 22:59

ok dont download a second......il try to put it on my server and mail you a link

Your right about the download 5 hours....it only gives about 26k a second thats why

Edit...Found one of my sites with room to host it.....the download will be pretty fast just hold on in there a little longer

Retrofan · 13 March 2012, 23:54

Ok, np. About the Arcade laucher I think the 64 bits version of MAME has better display than the normal one (too big pixels in it), but I'm not sure if it can be modified somehow to be as good as the 64 bits one. You can try with Shinobi for example (or a game with better graphics than Berzerk).

EDIT: Just try Bad Dudes in your last version of your launcher and compare it with the same using Mame 64 bits...

Sorry to hear you are having trouble,It looks like the file didn't upload fully.
Just tried to install it and it installs ok but it has no icon on the installer,maybe with the big installers you should split them up using winrar or put it in a rar or zip file then upload it.It will be easier to download it if you split the file up..
You can give Retofan the ftp user and pass if you like..

Oh let me reset my server first before you do anything..???

Whoops....Only just saw this......i did upload it to one of my sites ( just had the room ) i sent retrofan and msantos the link so dunno how they got on ?

CTRL + F11 exits the Game

I've installed it. First I think you should put a bar showing the installation progress, as it will stay 5 minutes with an empty screen showing only Amiga Launcher in a corner, and you don't see any progress (lucky I've got a HD activity led inside my power button).

The quick finder doesn't work (to me) in windows 7 64 bits.

Music works.

When you click in a game just once (I think it should be twice) it opens the WinUAE screen, but it opens with the configuration of an A500 any game. Of course it won't work like that. I think you should put a good configuration like the one of AmigaSYS or Amikit. Changing configuration I lose the floppy and have to search for it (have to see where I installed the launcher).

IMO I will always preffer your Amiga EXE launcher, and I don't see the point to make this launcher.

synchro · 14 March 2012, 12:20

Yet everything i try it on works fine ???
The exe launcher is for the companys specific exe's i cant use it as an arcade launcher for the all in one when i make it...

Despite my best efforts i cannot get these to fail but in all honesty im only getting 2 user feedbacks..Its not enough to try to filter out the problems like what it works on what it doesnt...for all i know it could be a setting in Norton if you both use that.

For now i think i will give up till i find something it does not work on then i can look into it properly.

3D Arcade boots amiga games with winuae using a config file for each game so when you load a game in 3D Arcade it boots the config first,the config shows where the ADF and roms are on your HD and loads the rom and boots the ADF game and bingo the games working..

If you want all of the config files,i can leave a link to them here if it helps,there is over a 1000 of them cos its a set..

OK, now I see the point of making it.

I'm not very good with WinUAE, so I don't know if your Launcher can't open it with his own configuration or if it loads some of the ones I already have, and then it's "my problem" and I can make WinUAE to open directly with a better configuration.

You're true, with only 2-3 testers it has to be very difficult. Anyway I want to see how does it work for msantos.

No, I'm not using norton, only Avast, and I've tried disabling it too.
