Start automatic..

Hi all
I played way yo much Amiga when i was younger
Now i want to share it with some of my friends
And the sucks at anything about computer...
Is there a way to make one file to lunch then the game will start automatic?
I don´t know if i need the Portable.ini file or?
Please help me step by step

create a separate config file for your game with at least this line:

floppy_drive_0 = /media/Stuff/Roms/Amiga/Aquaventura (1992)(Psygnosis)[cr FLT](Disk 1 of 2).adf
floppy_drive_1 = /media/Stuff/Roms/Amiga/Aquaventura (1992)(Psygnosis)[cr FLT](Disk 2 of 2).adf

Save it as <your specified name>.fs-uae (mine is called Aquaventura.fs-uae)

then point fs-uae to it using a command line or shorcut for example

fs-uae "/Documents/FS-UAE/Configurations/Aquaventura.fs-uae"

i use linux

I would still recommend you to use FS-UAE Launcher with Game database. It will automatically configure everything for all supported games you have, and presents them in easy-to-use gui which you can use to start games you want to.

On the same subject, why would this file not be working for me? I get the ROM to load and request a disk, but I've already specified one (trying two types of assignment).

amiga_model = CD32
kickstarts_dir = /home/jarlath/Copy/a1200/Kickstarts
cdrom_image_0 = /home/jarlath/Documents/FS-UAE/CD-ROMs/Soccer Kid/Soccer Kid (1994)(Krisalis)(M5)[!]/Soccer Kid (1994)(Krisalis)(M5)(Track 01 of 26)[!].iso
cdrom_image_1 = /home/jarlath/Documents/FS-UAE/CD-ROMs/Soccer\ Kid/Soccer\ Kid\ \(1994\)\(Krisalis\)\(M5\)\[\!\]/Soccer\ Kid\ \(1994\)\(Krisalis\)\(M5\)\(Track\ 01\ of\ 26\)\[\!\].iso

Can you rename the path and the file to not contain special characters? What version of FS-UAE do you use?

[TenLeftFingers]

I'm using fs-uae is 2.4.1. I can rename the path, but not so sure if the files will work as they all seem to follow the same convention. I' will give it a go though, thanks for the idea amigafreak68k

[TenLeftFingers]

Right, so I've learned a few things. First, escaping the characters actually isn't necessary and actually doesn't work so the plain un-escaped path to the file is the way to go. Second, the disk image is actually picked up and available as a swappable but not inserted by default so I needed to change to "cdrom_drive_0" as opposed to "cdrom_image_0".

Thanks amigafreak68k, I was going round in circles with that.

[amigafreak68k]

Yes. cdrom_image_x is a differnce as cdrom_drive_0

With the cdrom_image_x option you can make a config with some more games as only one. If you play a game and want to play another game you just need to insert the other game and reset then quit FS-UAE and start it with another config.

Excellent
