Your idea is to "transform" 3.1 into ClassicWB by installing stuff to make it more functional and better looking, right ? Sorry to say, it's a waste of time, and ultimately it won't work, because ClassicWB was streamlined and made by Bloodwych with the real thing in mind.

The only thing I really liked most about Classic Workbench was the copper-demon background, if that can be achieved through my current WB 3.1 setup then I dont need Classic Workbench.

My current setup works perfectly without any errors so my main goal now is getting copper-demon to boot on startup like Classic Workbench does. At the moment it dosnt for some reason, this is what I need to figure out.

I guess you haven't tested ClassicWB long enough (due to your crashes, right?). Bloodwych included so many great preconfigured/installed tools and programmes (MagicMenu, DirOpus file manager etc...), far better than an ordinary WB 3.0/3.1. And still highly compatible for WHDLoad.

No! It's loaded by default and not higlighted. I thought you got that, but it seems you didn't.
@Kitty
Where is your default.uae? It has to be in the folder that you can see in 'Paths' for configuration files.

Its with all my other config files in C:\Program Files\WinUAE\Configurations but it still dont boot default, it just boots into Kickstart 3.0 for some reason, its named default.uae so I dont know why its not working?

.

As for the Copper Daemon, some patches and enhancements only work as intended on real Amigas. I mean, it could require some particular knowledge to make them work or do something as intended in a emulated WB. You could PM Bloodwych about it.

Hmm maybe I didnt give Classic Workbench a chance, I may try another install in a min, just need a coffee first

Put 'Copper-Demon' (the file) in the WBStartup folder (not in the subfolder with the same name). This should do it

It doesn't 'boot' the config, it just loads it. When you start WinUAE the settings from that config should be loaded. The easiest way to 'boot' a config is the one tero described

Ok that kinda works, it boots with startup, but the copper-demon config window always popsup too!

Retro-Nerd · 09 October 2009, 12:48

The file is named "Copper", not "Copper-Demon". At least in ClassicWB.

Well, in the lha you linked to it's called Copper-Demon

Guess I'll have a look later.

Remove the 'POPUP' tooltype
Rightclick/info(rmation)

Retro-Nerd · 09 October 2009, 12:55

True, that should work.

Nope, that's not the problem. Are your HDs loaded when you start WinUAE or is it still 'empty'?

Still empty

@kitty
Try this :

Delete the default.uae config, WinUAE turned off
Start WinUAE
Load/Save your preferred config with this name "default.uae" (don't disable the GUI ) from within WinUAE (save as... button)
Quit
Restart WinUAE

Now, the last config you loaded should be highlighted AND loaded

When WB is loaded, click on the Copper-Demon file and do that.

Nope didnt work just booted to kickstart 3.0

Can you attach your 'winuaebootlog.txt' Kitty?
