Here is a preview : [ Show youtube player ]

Tell me what you think about it, so I can improve before the release.

I'm going to test it on slower computers.

[amiman99]

My CDTV got 4MB now, so I'm eager to try it soon please

[Omolungo]

Well done Gibs, now we will wait for release

[kriz]

Great work Gibs !!

[gibs]

Thanks
I have a question :

Do you prefer to have a 1st Menu to select AGA or ECS ?
Or you prefer all the games mixed ?

[Omolungo]

All the games mixed for me

[gibs]

I thought it would be better to separate them :

[DonAmiga]

I think the separate is a good idea and it all looking great

[ocean]

Separate of course, that makes my stock CDTV life so much easier! \o/ Looking very good, but I'm not sure about those pacman-sounds, in the long run they could became very annoying... Or maybe there are possibility to change the sounds to something else individually?

[gibs]

I have changed the sound when you reach the limit. I wanted to put some retro sound because of the retro look of the launcher .

I can:

-1 add the possibility to disable the sound by pressing 's'
-2 use the sound only when you select the game (so you'll hear it only 2 time)

I guess you don't like to play pacman

@amiman99: which kickstart do you have on your CDTV ? 4MB of RAM ? you mean 3MB ? or you have done some piggyback to extend the chipram ?

[lolafg]

Superb and really fast , will it work on Minimig too ?

Tell me if you prefer like this. BTW you have an overview of the documentation :P

@Lolafg
Of course it's going to work on the minimig. It's going to work on every 68k Amiga and OS that support EUAE (Windows,Linux,MacOS,MophOS,AmigaOS4...)

And if you read the doc, you can notice that it can also run non-Whdload games

[lolafg]

really great , waiting to test it

Thank you so much for working on this. The retro design is really cool. I like the pacman noises

Would it be possible to have a Classicwb with your software so users can just dl that and add the games?

How would someone with a cdtv be able to install it or use it? With the cd drive?

[gibs]

@Magnetic
You don't need lo load the workbench at all.

You'll just have to assign the directories of your ECS & AGA games in your startup sequence. Ex:

Assign TLECS: Drive:Your_ECS_Directory
Assign TLAGA: Drive:Your_AGA_Directory
TinyLauncher.exe

If your startup-sequence only got those 3 lines, your amiga, your xbox..etc will automaticaly boot Tiny Launcher.

You can launch Tiny Launcher from where you want.

Ah... and the idea of the 'Space Invader welcome screen' is not only for separate the ECS and AGA games... It's here to allow you to combine your stick buttons. Example: If you hold the Joystick Down+Fire in this screen, it will bring you to the Demo section (of course with another Space Invader character, so you won't be confused)

I'm going to try to sample my "Konix Navigator joystick" noise to use in the navigation screen.

I like the sounds more now, thanks! I have played my pacman and still like it anyway (-: maybe your Konix -click would be nice when navigating through the menus! But it's just fine-tuning, the whole program looks wonderful! I just cannot wait to compile some CDTV-cd:s with this ;-)

Here is the tutorial (how to use it for the first time) :

@Gibs:

Can it be run on a CD32 as well ?

[slk486]

Looks absolutely perfect for my CD32 SX-1 hd

Looking forward to first release!
