TinyLauncher 3+ released

[DamienD]

Considering the latest version is "3.51"; I've renamed the thread title from "3.1" --> "3+"...

Is there a particular key to press in order to see previews .iff?

First you've got to edit the TL configuration. I don't remember, in the menu you've got something like Games - Demos -Music -Config. There.

Well, that's in the case that you don't have the covers in the Covers drawer of TinyLauncher.

When that's ok, you've got to press "C" to show the covers while you are seing the titles.

hopefully the author is still reading this.

i use tiny launcher with 3000+ whdload games, a lot of whdload demos and about 150 mod files and i am really happy with it. the cover pack from the ftp is installed as well and i love these preview pics.

just a quick feature request for future releases would be:
-an attract mode that jumps through the list and randomly shows cover previews in a loop
-exiting a game and staying in that same region of the alphabet would be nice

best regards

@ebster:

you should write a mail. He will surely answer. Pretty sure he doesn't read here anymore. Unless somebody points him directly here (what i did from time to time).

He's still developing though as the last release is dated 29th July 2017

[Ebster]

thanks, i will give it a try.

[turrican9]

wow. This program is awesome. Especially with the screenshot database. I never want to use Igame again. Thanks for the great work

Maybe it's been mentioned before but searching on 3 letter words does not give results..

It seems TinyLauncher totally scr*ws up the ENV assign....

After running TinyLauncher ENV: does not point to RAM:ENV anymore but simply RAM: As a consequence screenmode switching goes ballistic stating ENV:Sys/screenmode.prefs is not there etc....

[rsn8887]

Yes Tinylauncher is awesome!

I use it to launch games on my Vita and VitaTV. It works great.

Is there really a cover collection for the kg WHDLoad? If yes, where do I find it and how do I install it? I have a complete WHDLoad collection here from June 2017 and another collection of the missing games (based on Aladin’s recent “generic” collection, mostly WHDLoad). Both are using Tinylauncher 3.52 and they work perfectly. But none of them have any screenshots...

[softiron]

I second that. Would love to get a collection of covers.
and I also have small problem. After starting TL whenever I'm trying to launch anything but the Games menu (Music, Demos, Favourites) it kicks me back to WB with "Out of Memory" prompt.
Games menu works fine.
...but if I enter Games menu first, then quit the menu and try any other it works fine.
Can't find a solution to that...

Also noticed same problem, ENV: and T: are being screwed and assigned to RAM: after exiting from TinyLauncher. Using latest available version. Any way to fix this?

I think this is a long standing bug.

If you use WHDload for most launches, you can use the WHDload global option "ExecuteCleanup" to re-assign ENV: and T: etc. before it returns to WB

A few feature requests:

* option to disable blinking of selected line
* optional disabling 'scanline' effect of the entries: the dark palette is hard to read from a distance
* remembering current selected position when exiting from game
* page order unchanged when moving selecter up/down

Thanks!

I noticed games don’t seem to check the tool types when they run, can this be fixed? Like when PAL or NTSC tooltypes are enabled.

[Retro-Nerd]

Tool Types works fine. NewIcons has to be installed though or they aren't detected properly. Read it also here.

Wow, didn't know this. Thanks for the tip So, I just repeat there what's already in the SS of my ClassicWB regarding ENV:?

This is what I found in my SS related to ENV:

IF EXISTS C:HDEnv
  	C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards
  	Assign >NIL: ENV: SYS:ENV
  	C:HDEnv
ELSE
  	C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV RAM:ENV/Sys
  	C:Copy >NIL: ENVARC: RAM:ENV ALL NOREQ
  	Assign >NIL: ENV: RAM:ENV
EndIF

The problem I noticed is when I have a tooltype for PAL or NTSC it’s not detected with tiny launcher. I have Classic OS installed with New icons.

[Retro-Nerd]

Are you sure that Tooltypes are enabled? You can select them with the "T" key in the start/main menu. The info section shows you "Tooltypes enabled" then. TL also shows the selected toolypes in the top section while it starts a game.

Anybody else having problems downloading TinyLauncher from Aminet?
