Tiny Launcher 1.0 Released

[torturedutopian]

Yeah, anyone doing anything Amiga-related nowadays sheerly do it out of passion & pleasure. Nothing else matters ! The underlying politics make no sense at all !

Come on... We can't be waiting for him so long. We all know his weak points... he's a musician, so I will begin where it hurts more:

Gibs come back...

[Ebster]

thanks olesio, so i have now added "wait 480mins" as i cannot imagine to play this game more than 3 or four hours it should work out ok. sort of a dirty trick, but it should work. thanks again!

[olesio]

@Ebster: you do not have to be malicious. Maybe I wrong understand you, but I thought when one game is active and executed from run command it should be disable other process. But from my hdf image with this game I see I must added pause command to reboot because probable game was always interrupted. So probable only way is to pause script and wait for any key or mouse click or joystick (with for example joyread which was written for me in one thread on EAB) or CD32 pad (JoyPad cli util). Or maybe Psygore finish WHDLoad slave soon so there will no problem anymore.

[Ebster]

i did not mean to be malicious. i just wrote what i did and gave you a "thank you" for real. i mean just adding "wait cli" didn't work so i tried "wait 480 mins" and it worked. no offence at all! but many scripts i try for the non whdload games do not work,e.g. can someone try wendetta2175. cannot get this to start at all.... best regards!

[olesio]

Ok, sorry. I thought that you make fun of me and I only tried to help. Anyway, no problem. I do not know is it Wait be possible to set such a big seconds count, but maybe soon - like I wrote - Psygore done slave to this game. And as we know Psygore is very productive and active so maybe soon. We always may count on Him and StringRay, because unfortunately most of rest slave writters team is idle ;/ At this moment only JoyRead/JoyPad/some pause command can solve your problem. And we still got hope GIBS will back and improve its launcher and add FastNav function for example.

Some numbers:
-on a stock CD32 (2MB, NOFAST RAM, And BOOT CD).
Time to boot (include indivision AGA init) : 15 sec
Time to scan 177 games : 3 sec
Time to scan 272 demos : 6 sec

Since the 1.8 version
Tiny Launcher is provided as a stand-alone executable. Just copy it where you want on your HD.

Since the 1.4 version, Tiny Launcher can run many whdload games on a 1MB Chip Ram Amiga Computer (Example Amiga 600). Your Partition (not your drive) must be named "DH0" and you need a Kickstart 3.X or it won't work (Sorry I'm not a magician).

Here is an example of Whdload games you can expect to work on a 1MB Amiga 600:

Agony, Apidya, Airball, Arkanoid, Arkanoid 2, BAtman Movie, Battle Squadron, Blood Money,
Bomb Jack, Cadaver, Chuck Rock, Commando, Chrystal Hammer, Dyna Blaster, Eagles Nest, Elf, Galaga92, Giana Sisters, HATE, Head Over heat, IK+, Ikari Warriors, Kikstart 2, Leaderboard Golf, Lotus1, Menace, Midnight Resistance, Nebuslus, New Zealand Story, Nitro, Operation Wolf, Overlander, Pacmania, Paradroid 90, Parasol Stars, PP Hammer,Tetris Pro, Rick Dangerous, Rick Dangerous 2, Rod Land, Beast, Beast 2, Silkworm, Spy Vs Spy I,II & III, Sumulcra, Stunt Car Racer, Super Cars 2, Treasure Island Dizzy, Turican I,Turrican II, Turican III, Virus, Wrath of the demon, Xenon, Xenon II…and more.


If you want to run those games with the KICKSTART 2, you can try TinyLauncherSE: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1566495/Tiny...uncherSE02.lzh
(Put it at the beginning of the startup-sequence).

Enjoy

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems so. Surely I'll be trying it soon, although I'll be using a Hawk ramboard with 8mb. I like this launcher [ Show youtube player ]

[olesio]

Lame question. I got 2.0b02 version and in exe file I see text about FastNAV feature but I can not show letters list in each game/demo category. Can any one tell me how to show it? What I should press it? Because I press Up Arrow under WinUAE as up joystick direction and nothing show it above for example ECS game list. Thanks in advice and sorry for my English.

[gibs]

Olesio, download the 2.0 on aminet and hold the up direction.
