How Is This Done

CPC464 · 12 July 2002, 16:27

Not sure if I posted think in the right part of the forum if not then my apologies

Ok I was downloading qstuff and I came across a proggy called:

AMIGA INSIDE 1.9 XL

This is just like winuae with AIAB installed (But all in French)

It also comes with all the Kickstart.roms and extras

My question is this. When I click the file to run the workbench file (HDF) instead of just booting into a standard workbench screen it comes up with this first.

It's pretty cool I think and was wondering if someone could explain to me how this screen is done

Any help would be appreciated

Looks like a standart boot picture (several tools on Aminet can do that) drawn with a gfx prog !

CPC464 · 12 July 2002, 16:42

Is there anywhere I can get instructions of how to do this as I wouldn't mind adding this to my Amiga HDF startup ??

RetroMan · 12 July 2002, 16:47

Simple

Download PicBoot.lha from Aminet (http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find?picboot) and edit your startup-sequence (you only have to choose a decent pic

)

Woah Thanks man

your help is really appreciated. I am trying to make a decent workbench of my own instead of using AIAB . It's going ok but I am having trouble with Picasso as wel

I am finding installing it is more difficult than I thought lol

Cheers for the advice I will try it and if I get stuck I will post again and maybe get a little more help

No Problem

What exactly is the problem in installing Picasso96

Just unpack, install and choose a decent screenmode (UAEGFX) in Prefs

CPC464 · 12 July 2002, 16:59

Well everytime I do install it it says something about not having any screen resolutions to choose from ?? I will install it again later on tonight and write down the exact message. you r help is very welcome and I will add you to my Christmas Card LIst

I will also mail you a bag of dooughnuts If I get this working LOL

You may need to copy uaegfx into your devs folder. This file, if needed, can be found in WinUAE\Display Driver dir.

You should not install any of the other Display Drivers unless your using a real Amiga.

CPC, good luck with creating your WB. It's good fun as I should know!

Keep us informed about your progress.

I'm about to release V6 of my Classic FULL and V3 of the LITE, so keep your eyes posted. A sneak peak of the AGA version is shown below - all this using 8-colour screenmodes!

Retro- you'll be pleased to know that these new versions require the original WB 3.0 disk like AIAB making them legal(ish), so perhaps RCK might even host them here!

I've tried the Amiga Inside pack but I think my WB setups are much better! Of course, I would.

About the boot pic. Never seen the point of adding them to the Amiga WB as it boots so fast. Why slow it down?

Boot pics were only needed for Windows and it's 10 minute boot time.

CPC - Can't answer your Picasso problem as I've never used it.

If you get stuck or need advice with your WB I'd be glad to help however.

CPC464 · 12 July 2002, 18:04

WOW thanks guys

with all the advice you are offering me I will have it done in no time

I will keep you posted to how things are going and (of course) keep asking you all those questions and problems that arise

As long as you don't mind

Cheers for all the help again

Don't run the Picasso prefs. It's only good for real graphics boards in real Amigas

All you need to do is install Picasso96, reboot (the Amiga), and set resolution in Screenmode prefs, using UAEGFX as your device (you'll see them in the list).
