Its a shame there only work using the keyboards cursor keys,its a bit hard on a c64k..

Not True

Setup a usb joystick or gamepad in windows and they will work via that.
Works for me just played alien breed and project X via my gamepad

Here is a screenshot of the error on Amiga Doom Synchro..

10 GAMES TESTED..works fine...menu sound perfect. tested in windows 7 64 bits.

[Retrofan]

Using Windows 7 64 bit:

Incredible. You have to tell how have you fixed the problem I had with the quick finder. It works!!! I had tried all to make it work.

Now imperfections:
First it miss an installation progress bar like the first time I tried your demo, and now it takes 15 minutes to get installed, so I just see the progress looking the Hd activity led (well, it's just once you've got to make it, so it won't mind anymore).
And the second (there are just two, as it works great) is that I can't quit it. I use Key Extender to have F12 using F7, that works with WinUAE, but it doesn't work here. F10 also doesn't seem to work. Spannernick will tell if I am wrong. Now I don't find the demo you made, but I think it was working there.

F12 works ok on mine(i have mine on home key on c64 and I press it and then click Quit done)..what's F10 for..??

You need the demo from the site or you can't find it on your HD,it copies over it when you install the full version..

Interesting. Will have to try it again and again to see what it's hapening.

EDit: It doesn't work. It works in WinUAE and doesn't here. Can be added another key to return to the main menu? (better not a function key?)

Do I need the demo first? Perhaps I deleted it...

CTRL +F11 is the proper way to exit a game back to the menu give that a try......Also...whilst ingame....F12 should work..
I would also have uninstalled the demo first...they may conflict ?

You may also notice some of the older games take longer to load.....this is because i have had to slow the games down hence the slower loading.......and belive it or not some are Floppys adf files !!

This can't be why Amiga Doom isn't work is it..it can't be,all settings are in the hdf isn't it..??

Thats the only one that is not working all the other games work...just tested them..

I will have to made a F11 key for my c64k..

[synchro]

LOL you tested all 120 games !! thats dedication for ya ....i will look into doom again now.....anyone else got a prob with that one ??

My eyes are full of sprites..

I've reinstalled the previous demo and the diferences are two: First I play with another joystick (I've got two configured), and in the demo I was playing with the main one and in this last I'm playing with the second one.
And... in the demo F12 works with key extender. In this last it doesn't work. Configuring F11 doesn't work either with Ctrl.

It must be something to do with WinUAE,the fe is septate from it so it wouldn't made the keys not work...

Try something for me..

MAKE A BACK UP OF THE FOLDER FIRST BEFORE YOU DO THIS...
Copy your WinUAE from Arcade demo folder to the Arcade full but only winuae and the config files for it not the config files for the games so you have all the games still,keep all the games and config file for them,do you understand..
Had to do this with c64 arcade lanucher so it would work properly

DO YOU UNDERSTAND..???

EDIT:
Just setup F11 to button F5 on C64 and CTRL+F11 works fine.

[synchro]

Ok am i assuming your using C64X 'S or similar to run the launcher ??

Well, first, after installing again the demo in another place, when I've tried to run again the new Launcher, it was launching the demo... I've reinstalled the new again (always when I reinstall it I've got the installation progress bar).
I can't transfer any file from one to another as the demo is an exe file. I do believe to remember I can rename it (as .rar?) and extract it's files?

Anywary, surely I will have then the problems with the quick finder...

If there were just another button to go to the menu...

Edit: Esc (RunStop) takes me to the Workbench Screen, but I can't quit from there. Ctrl F11 doesnt work either. So I think none of the KeyExtender keys work.

EDIT: I can quit with Ctrl Esc Back Space, but although I get to the menu I still have the WinUAE window with the game opened (minimized).

Later I will try with Windows XP
