Hi, for some reason I can only get igame 1.6b running on my system, when I install version 2, and run it, nothing loads.
If I copy over by hand all the old files they run with no issues. |

@r6stu
Thank you for this message. Please, install iGame v2 to a different folder than the old one and help me help you run it. After you install it open a shell into that folder and run iGame from there. If there are libraries missing, you will see some messages there of what exactly needs to be installed. Also, if this is a problem of missing GuiGfx library, you can disable it from the application tooltypes. And, finally, try to use snoopdos to figure out if anything is failing. If you are not that familiar with AmigaOS or how to find missing libraries and how to debug issues, I would recommend you join me at my twitch streams, every Friday at 7:30 CET at https://twitch.tv/walkerogr, or have a look at my previous ones at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...v5z5T6zvaa47U5 Feel free to send here your findings, so for me to help you get it running. |

So does anyone know how to stabilize the layout of V2 then? As I posted a while ago, my layout goes all messed up if I don't happen to have artwork installed for a game in the folder. The boxes all shift over to the right and then all I can see is the list of games then in the left hand pane. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

if you are using MUI 5, by saving the window size by it's menus it should save the size of the right column. This way it shouldn't change no matter the size of the image. The other way is to install GuiGfx libraries and set from the preferences a specific size for the screenshots. This should work fine. |

Hmmm I only have MUI 3.8, would this be an issue?
I literally have no idea what options controls the picture window though in order to keep on the little igame pic with pacman and superfog for those games I have no artwork for. I thought I was being clever when I copied the iGame (I still have iGame v1.6 installed in a different directory of course) MUI prefs, deleted the iGame2 prefs and cfg and then used the copies but renamed them iGame2.prefs and iGame2.cfg but alas it did nothing. |

Can you please upload a screenshot so to be able to see the problem and understand it better? |

Yeah that looks like what would happen for me when GuiGfx is turned off. Without it, the image shown always appears in its native size instead of a fixed size. IIRC MUI 3.8 doesn't support resizing images unless you explicitly use GuiGfx.
Do you have a NOGUIGFX tooltype in your iGame icon? If so, try removing it and then see what happens when you run iGame. If GuiGfx is properly installed, it should just work(tm) with a fixed size for the game images. |

If it is commented out then it is fine. But also you have to check the same thing at the preferences window. I know it is a little bit confusing.
If you want to use GuiGfx, you have to set it up in the preferences, by checking it's box. These things should work in a better way, and I will try to work on that to make it easier for everyone. |

It's not your fault I dunno how to do stuff I tried messing with the MUI settings but I dunno what settings for windows works and what doesn't. There seems very little options to be honest and nothing that logically makes sense to me. I can run guigfx then without any clash? Ok I'll give that a bash, any particular version? |

I have the exact same issue as above now I upgraded to version 2.0. The Genre window is squashed up to the right hand side and the image area is just a small tiny square. The image area doesn't change even if I select a game that I know for sure has a screenshot available such as the recent Ms Pacman game. I can't run igame with NOGUIFX unticked because the program wont load at all then.
I am using Classicwb full if that makes a difference but the old vesion 1.6 seemed to run fine (just slower obviously). |

Can you guys please test with the latest released version of GuiGfx (http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/guigfxlib) if it works for you and make things better?

It’s exactly the same for me. I think that’s the same version I downloaded this morning and updated to anyway.

From the snoopdos screenshot you attached, it seems that you have issues with the picture.datatype that cannot be found. Is it installed? Can you see images with multiview? |

picture.datatype should be in SYS:Classes/DataTypes if you have Amiga OS 3.1 or newer. I'm not sure about 3.0 but it's probably in that version of the OS as well. There's an updated version on Aminet as well, if I'm not mistaken.

Where did you get the image set from? There's one set on EAB that are png files but named as iff.
