Create an ADF slideshow with IFF files.

24 July 2009, 20:08

Hello everybody, i am looking for an EASY and QUICK way to make a pack (or, if possible, a slideshow) in ADF format with IFF files that i have downloaded on the net.

Does a "drag and drop" window utility exists ? I mean an win xp application that would drag and drop IFF files, then create an ADF automatically...

I know i can do this by mounting a hard drive under winuae and copying my IFF files on a blank disk but this procedure is very slow and binding.

An other question : Do such demo disks already exist ? I had one with the wonderful "spacetits" picture by danny. The image could be open under workbench.

Thanks for your help.

i hope i'm not worng, but IIRC one of those would help:
http://adfopus.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.viksoe.dk/adfview/

it wont create a slideshow, but copying files onto the adf should work.
demo-disk and slideshow creators exists, for the amiga platform. one was requested some days ago. i'll add it here, if i can find it.

Edit: trackah123 suggested Demo-Maniac here http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=565350#post565350 some sample slideshows he has posted there also.

Theres a very basic ADF in the Zone for viewing your images - Using one of the tools HIT sugested drag and drop you IFF's into the folder "IFF"

Could someone tell me where can I find module player for Amiga 500 which can play in the CLI background and will not require any libraries? I saw and tested many players from aminet.

Hippo Player is good it has a Quiet option and works all kickstarts, cant remember what libs or paramter commans needed

Thank you, I will try at home.

Thank you again, command HIPPO HIDE modulefile is that what I needed.

Floppy drive is in infinite loop when something is after Hippo Player in startup-sequence, I never saw problem like that. Music is not playing, image viewer is loaded but only top bar is visible.

Try Noiseplayer. I used it for a similar purpose (playing a mod on startup) and it worked nicely.

Retro1234 · 11 August 2011, 08:35

Not sure maybe "Run Hippo Hide" - Hippo is used on the CD32 compilations to play music in the background of AGS menu.
maybe TCD suggestion holds the solution hope you get it sorted

Thank you for Noiseplayer
