Can someone tell me where do I find the games/titles artwork for this fron-end?

Thanks!

Finally got the time to upgrade my CD32 XBench setup to 1.11. Great work Jim!
All my previous issues seem indeed to have been fixed. Thanks a lot!

Since I like to customise my setup a bit a heads up here to everybody. If I'm not mistaken as of this version, you cannot just edit the list#.prf files (I like to add games from different folders/partitions to single lists). It took me quite some time before I found out that the crashes that were caused by doing that were due to the fact you now also have to update the count of number of games per list in launcher.prf.

Some tiny issue in the explorer. File names that are longer than the screen width will disappear when selected (result is a blank line). A feature request for the explorer is a select all button, to easily add all mods to the mod window for playlist creation. Or is that a custom button you can create yourself in setup, haven't tried that.

So now we're waiting for the multi-screenshot feature and maybe some functionality that can flush all (Chip)Mem before launching a game, so I can e.g. launch Capital Punishment from XBench. Now it complains about not enough memory.

Hi, Xbench does not seem to use S/Whdload.prefs. Is there a way to enable this?
Would like to set some setting like quit key and Splashdelay globally.

Hey, thanks for this great release! Updating run flawlessly.

How do I register xbench? I see the donate button on your website, but how much is it and how do I get the key?

Clydos · 27 February 2019, 11:54

Ok, I read in the Xbench.guide how to register. I send the money yesterday and wrote an email. I hope Jim can send the reg file soon.

EDIT 07.03.2019: He did. :-) Thanks!

30 March 2019, 21:51

Does anybody know how long the author generally takes to respond after the donation is made & an email sent? I made the donation & sent an email 22/03/19 & have been waiting patiently ever since

All sorted ;D

Just started to test x-bench and downloaded the 1.1 version ; looks good however, when I cycle thru games it just crashes totally, no guru but something weird... I have not checked too much from the settings and I have A500, ACA500+ and 2Mb chipram setup... anyone else having issues or anything I should check ?

Is there a way to turn off the colour cycling effect in the games menu? I find it annoying but can't see any options to turn it off

Torti-the-Smurf · 15 April 2019, 15:32

i dont like to be a grumpy Smurf, but why is LAZYBENCH the only launcher that is simple to config ?
If you have games mixed (whdload/Exe/script) the are all a pain in the Smurf Butt.

Why not using the Concept of Lacybench ? A Simple but very effective way to config the launcher, no matter if Whdload, Script or "exe" . I tried Tinylauncher and Xbench. Sure, they look cool but are so unflexible with Gamenames and filetypes. So much trouble just to get simple things done.

So, for us Smurfs, LAZYBENCH is still number one, because its simple but so effective.
(or course, only when we are to LAZY to use the workbench

)

manic23 · 24 April 2019, 14:57

Jim, I donated on the 19th April and sent the email, still not had the reg key, any chance you could send? my email starts with manicmiker, thanks.

Clydos · 24 April 2019, 20:51

@manic23: Give him some time. I waited for 2 weeks or so. He is busy, but you will get the key.

manic23 · 25 April 2019, 15:00

OK fair enough, thanks Clydos

hawkeye · 27 May 2019, 23:48

Jim, 2nd of may registered and you were moving and not having internet. Do you have it again? Would like to install the key so I dont have to wait every time when booting

Also have a question but post that in another post.

Let me know. Cheers. Keep up the good work.

hawkeye · 27 May 2019, 23:49

Question. I would like to add Deluxe Paint or any other program like utils in the menu. I used EXE but that doesn't find those applications. Is there a way to do this? Like with the manual option? how?

spudje · 28 May 2019, 08:59

That should work. Have you added the .exe extension to the deluxe paint binary filename? Or you could make a script file in which you run the original deluxe paint binary (name).

That works! Thanks

Wachi · 14 June 2019, 23:23

I know it's a lot of work and time and I know it's unlikely ..... But did someone make a PIX package for this program?

If you scroll back the thread someone posted these.
Here:

I use this and t doesn't have all games/demos but it has most. Saved me a lot of trouble.

Wachi · 18 June 2019, 01:56

Thank you

But this is for iGame, I do not think that can be valid for X-bEnCH

Did you read the post at all? this guy converted them for XBench. Scroll back more, they are in the FTP in his folder.
I know, because I am using the same pack of images in my setup. Works great.

OK let me do all the work for you

here is the post where it says they have been converted and where they are: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=472
