Does WHDLaunch work with WB2.1 too, or does it really need WB3.1?

I was hoping to integrate it with my upcoming pre-installed WB2.1 setup, but after looking at the readme-file i was a bit disappointed..

Would it be hard to add WB2.1 support?

I cannot find them in the Zone!

I use this tools and amigaguide file since many years to search or/and launch my whdload's games using amigaguide file

Look video and you understand that it's simple

Indeed amigafile is already created, you have just to install this 2 tools on hard drive and modify folder parameters in file 'env-archive:WhdAutolaunch.prefs'.


But installed whload's games must be placed in folder like:
A/
Ad/
Al/
B/
Bo/
...


And, games name's folder must use the protocol of whdload's package names.
By example for 'AlienBreed3D.lha' installer package, game must be installed in:
A/AlienBreed3D
or
Al/AlienBreed3D


So game folder will be automatically seeked in/
A/
Ab/
Ac/
Ad/
Ae/
....

if game is found when you click on game name in amigaguide file, game will be automatically launched or the game's folder opened or a choice menu will be appeared according your parameters set in 'Env-archive/WHDAutoLaunch.prefs' file.
(see doc for more explain)
