Assign/Games list help

[Lorfarius]

When I go to the Games menu via Run and WHDLoad there is a games list that shows everything installed on a drive. I'm pretty sure you need to change the A-Games: DH1 line in Assign under WB.

But... I have 2 partitions at 1.9GB each. Can anyone tell me what the line should be for 2 different drives?

Thank you!

At the moment I have:

Assign >NIL A-Games: DH1

I tried to add this beneath it:

Assign >NIL A-Games: DH2

But it falls over and can't find A-Games when I do that.

If I'm understanding what it is you want; two different partitions for WHDLoad games; DH1 & DH2?

Your first line should be:

Assign >NIL A-Games: DH1:

...then change your second line to be:

Assign Add >NIL A-Games: DH2:

[Lorfarius]

Yes, thank you!

Phew!!! Glad that I could actually help someone today, my recent track record isn't good besides trying as much as possible

See here: "keyboard controller" issue

...though, I don't think it was mine or anyone else's fault who bothered to reply in the thread, all down to the OP really

And change these to:

Assign Add >NIL: A-Games: DH2:

There was : missing in NIL, and that would just create a useless file to your HD instead of forwarding outputs to the NIL: device.

Thanks both

Ooops, yeah very true...

Coming back to this on OS 3.9 now.. I've upgraded Have 2 partitions 1 has the standard WHD Load games on and the other has the AGA:



I want to use the Games List (clicking the WHDLoad button on the bar pictured), it seems to show all the demos and WHDLoad games but not the AGA ones. Sure I'm doing something wrong but could anyone advise?

I made sure to run Add Games and even restarted.

The assign is right, to see the games AGA found in DH2 you must first add them to the file "DH0:Systen/BMenu/Files/GamesMenu.menu" (file txt), see screenshot

Individually? Never had to do that before. There's far too many for me to add a separate line for each AGA game

You will have to add the titles by hand, i do not know if there are programs that can do this for you, as help you can use the command:

Dir All >File.txt
