Tiny Launcher 1.0 Released - Page 35

@KTC
Yes,
The opening of the logfile wasn't in the best position, so it was trying to open it again...

@Emuola
Yes I probably did something stupid

Well...I going to drop another bin.
In this one

-The log file should be fixed.
-The buffer isn't used anymore for the 1st level scan (means no more crash on huge list).

As you have seen in my video, the beta39 doesn't crash anymore for me while scanning on classic workbench.

emuola · 23 August 2012, 09:47

@Gibs

Did not mean it personally

@all

I just installed ClassicWBLite in Winuae and TL works without any problems! Scanning 2061 slaves and launching appr ten different games worked like a charm. It could be that there's something extra in ClassicWBFull compared to ClassicWBLite that screwes the TL. Unfortunately I cannor remember what options I chose while installing (there are a few ones).

Just though I'd let you know. Might be a dead end.

Retro-Nerd · 23 August 2012, 10:20

I use ClassicWB Lite too, on my real Amiga. No luck. Maybe i try my real IDE-HDD in WinUAE.

gibs · 23 August 2012, 10:30

@emuola

glad to hear it

In this one I did big changes (see my previous message), I tested it a little it seems ok.

@retronerd
I'm going to make it talk more for your issue.

wizard66 · 23 August 2012, 11:08

22b39 works perfect scanned 2250 games on my system without any isu.

Hardware: FPGA Arcade Replay WB31

emuola · 23 August 2012, 11:30

@Gibs

b40 still crashes when launching a game in ClassicWBFull, but works in ClassicWBLite. I tried to disable all the "extra" stuff in ClassicWBFull, but it did not help. Weird.

Tested in latest Winuae, will try with real A1200 when I get back home.

gibs · 23 August 2012, 11:55

@emuola
when it doesn't launch, exit TL go in the ram drive, you should find the script runme.tl

Try to launch it from the wb shell : execute runme.tl

@wizard

Try to Delete s:tinylauncher dir before starting b40

KTC · 23 August 2012, 12:06

In b40 when I remove the TinyLauncher directory from S:, it crashes on launch. If I create the directory or remove all the files, it works fine. This is not an issue b38.

wizard66 · 23 August 2012, 12:13

Thanks gibs.
All is working fine now.
Respect for your nice pice off software. The best frontend ever made.
Good to see its working nice with the whdload dir structure.
Keep on the good work.

gibs · 23 August 2012, 12:23

@ktc

Ho I know the reason

What about the buffer with this version ?

KTC · 23 August 2012, 12:51

I can build the database correctly without running out of buffer for all my stuff now (1 level structure)!

Fastnav works past the 1000 mark too, but still has the joystick/keyboard activation issue. If this is fixed and you add arrow/joystick down to cancel fastnav, it will be perfect

By the way, the old problem with "Out of variable space" when navigating through the long list with arrow/joystick right, is still there. If I use fastnav to get to some of the later letters where it crashes using the arrow/joystick right, it works just fine.

Engaging RAD still returns a "Device not available" on game exit. Any ideas on that one?

emuola · 23 August 2012, 12:57

@Gibs

Unfortunaely I cannot find the runme.tl script anywhere.

gibs · 23 August 2012, 13:31

@retronerd
I found a bug wich is probably one of the reason of your crash.

KTC · 23 August 2012, 14:01

I tried installing the latest ClassicWB Lite and when I ran 9Fingers through Tiny Launcher 2.2b40 from Workbench it worked.

I then tried putting Tiny Launcher early in my startup-sequence, and when I tried to launch 9Fingers there, it failed!

But this means I could find a way to narrow it down

Well, after a lot of experiments, commenting stuff out and messing around with settings, I finally tracked the problem down!

Solution: You have to launch "C:Newicons" before you run Tiny Launcher for the KG packs to launch properly with tool types and all.

@gibs
I don't know if you are going to require people to launch NewIcons executable for this to work or if you are going to find another solution, but now you have my workaround.

Phantom · 23 August 2012, 14:31

@ gibs

Very cool launcher you have there mate, I usually work with iGame since ages, but I would like to try your TinyLauncher too. Is there any guide for installation, or you just copy the executable file where you want?

How TL finds the correct paths for specific games/demos etc? Do I have to separate them in different drawers?

Thanks in advance.

Ah that's the reason I had no problem. Because I use Newicons on my custom WB. But it seems classicwb full too. That's why I had no problems on CWB !
Hold on. I'm fixing the RetroNerd issue first.

I have Newicons enabled in the ClassicWBFull, and it always crashes. Weird. Let's see the next version

Would be great, if you really found the bug. I've even updated to ClassicWB v27.
