WHDload and FS-UAE command line

[browniesrgut]

Hello all,

I have installed FS-UAE on my HTPC (running ubuntu 12.10 and XBMC on top of that), added a script that allows me to launch executables from there and so I configured the hole thing to run som games (essentially CD-32 games) from bash scripts, like, for example Disposable Hero :

#!/bin/bash
openbox & fs-uae --amiga_model=CD32 --cdrom_drive_0="Disposable Hero (1994)(Gremlin)[!].zip" --fullscreen=1 --fullscreen_mode=fullscreen --scanlines=1
killall -9 openbox

But, is there is a way to launch my whdload games by the same way ?

This bash script only gave me an AMIGADOS "1>" prompt and nothing more :

#!/bin/bash
openbox & fs-uae --amiga_model=A600 --fast_memory=8192 --hard_drive_0="BodyBlowsGalactic_v2.1_1231.zip" --fullscreen=1 --fullscreen_mode=fullscreen --scanlines=1 --x_whdload_args="BodyBlowsGalactic.slave PRELOAD"
killall -9 openbox

Maybe I'm missing something. Can somebody help me please ?

You have to unzip the first. AFAIK there is no other way to point harddrive than to a directory or an hardfile. Zip archive is neither of that. You can modify your script to unzip it first and delete it after emulator quit.

Hi, the feature you're trying to use (x_whdload_args) is not supported by FS-UAE itself. FS-UAE Launcher does the necessary preparation work (prepare a temporary hard drive with necessary WHDLoad files, kickstarts, startup sequence and the game itself).

Making it possible to run games via FS-UAE Launcher from the command line is on my todo list (and that's what you need in this case).

Great ! That will be a super feature.

Thanks for keeping on rocking our world, man !

One comment... I have managed yesterday to install FS-UAE + "Aros Vision" on a Mac and WHDLoad perfectly works. Great :-)
