The syntax doesn't look OK to me. That script is full of comments starting with ":" instead of the comment character ";" so I'm not sure how it could be expected to work. Rather unfair to blame it on BB3&4 when the problem is actually an erroneous script.

In fact, it is strange that i use BB3 and BB4 on all my systems and I have never found anything, on the contrary it greatly improves the quality and stability of the system.

In fact, i just have added a line with return at the end of the Amikit-StartOS script and everything is fine with Dopus 5.82. I had some problems with the beta 5.91, if i launch tinylauncher, the screen goes out of range on my tv after selecting a sub menu (games or demos ), but everithing is fine now with 5.82.
BTW, really great release and really stable on my TF330. A must have |

To be honest I don't know much about Dopus 5.91. It's just a WIP option here, but I just hope that someday it will be better than the standard original one. But please: Whenever somebody tries it like you've done, please report your problems to them as it will help a lot in any improvement they can release . I always like to hear these comments and I didn't have an idea about how it behaves with that so great Terrible Fire device. Thanks a lot |

I just added a blank line at the end of the Amikit-StartOS script (sorry if that was not clear )

How did you add that blank line?. Maybe there is an "If/Else/Whatever" line missed? Just post an image of it Last edited by Retrofan; 22 April 2019 at 03:29. |

Ok so here we go.
In the startup sequence, there is : IF EXISTS S:AmiKit-StartOS Execute S:AmiKit-StartOS ELSE C:LoadDB SIMPLEGELS EndIF At the end of the Amikit-StartOS script, there is no blank line ( see pic originalstartos, end is at line 49 "endif" So i think the error ENDIFELSE "unknown command" is because it merges the last line of the StartOS script (Endif) with the ELSE command of the startup sequence wich is after the line "Execute S:Amikit-StartOS" So adding a blank line at the end of the StartOS script (line 50 in the picture ), results that the commands are not merged anymore |

I checked my AmiKit-StartOS and it doesn't have a carriage return at the end of the script and it appears to work okay for me. I checked the file with EditPad, GoldED 6, and UltraEdit on my PC and the last character in the file is "F".

I've used Editpad (for the screnshots i've used Notepad++ on PC)
@DofD : The problem doesn't appear with BB2, only with BB3 & 4 |

My thought was that a control character might have gotten in at the end and that BB3&4 didn't like, but BB2 was okay with.

The obvious fix is to add the missing LF to the broken Amikit-StartOS script. The issue is not caused by any defect of BB3&4.

Same thing with the script Boot.abs.
Last line of this script is "reboot" Then it return to the startup sequence where there is a Endif So it make "RebootEndif : unknown command" As this script is done by ABS itself and is dynamically written in relation to the choice you make in the menu, it can't be easily be fixed.... An idea in wich file i need to add the missing LF ? EDIT : Found ! I have to add a LF at the end of the 4 files AGS2.abs, ScummVM.abs TinyLauncher.abs and Workbench.abs wich are located in S:AmigaBootSelector Now AGS work fine Last edited by Rochabian; 24 April 2019 at 01:36. |

I don't like to be fixing problems that BB3&4 give and that don't happen with BB2 AT ALL, but I will edit the lines as that won't kill anyone . Just send me those files with that extra line for BB3&4 or tell me which ones do I need to change for them to work right. Last edited by Retrofan; 25 April 2019 at 03:40. |

To Resume, you can add a blank line at the end of the following scripts :
S:Amikit-StartOS S:User-Startup S:AmigaBootSelector/AGS2.abs S:AmigaBootSelector/ScummVM.abs S:AmigaBootSelector/TinyLauncher.abs S:AmigaBootSelector/Workbench.abs |

It seems very strange to me that add to blank line resolves the problem, I believe instead that the new save Fixed file.
You tried to make a new save without to blank line con Editor Amiga |

So indeed, something gets wrong adding BB3&4. Edit: But also, if you need to add an empty line you could make this: Code:
CD SYS:S echo >>AmiKit-StartOS "" echo >>User-Startup "" echo >>AmigaBootSelector/AGS2.abs "" echo >>AmigaBootSelector/ScummVM.abs "" echo >>AmigaBootSelector/TinyLauncher.abs "" echo >>AmigaBootSelector/Workbench.abs "" Last edited by Retrofan; 04 May 2019 at 02:21. |

@Retrofan: any plan to make AmikitReal directly compatible with Vampire? I means with SAGA and all other stuff installed and ready to use?
Sorry if the question has already been asked... |
