Any chance of an 030 version?

Dont you think its a little bit too Havie for 030 ?

[lantus360]

With WinUAE RTG (-cgx) and PAL i have a Gray Screen, and it does not seem to load anything, Where am I wrong? attach paths !

Great Work - many thanks! Do you plan to integrate a 2 Player option?

Font error , tested on Amiga Error i have a Font #0 error and Tested on Pc and it run, who is the Error ?

[lantus360]

you need to run from command line.something like this

openbor paks/toads/ -cgx

or rename that toads directory to BOR and run the icon

do you have AHI installed? At least v4
when you run from command line is there an error?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I have AHI 6.7 that works fine, i start from Shell and I get font error, see screenshot

MAME is never a good candidate for anything - it's just the project that assimilates all the emulator-developer man-hours.

I think you really need some launcher or add a requester, because a lot of people don't seem to get that they need to launch the games from the command line

Try :

Openbor paks/<name of your folder>/ -cgx

Yes, i know, if I add name folder the screen turns gray

[lantus360]

then you are either not specifying your path correcltly or your extracted PAK contents are corrupt

ps - it might take a minute to load the game..the other thing you can try is just double click the OpenBOR-Vampire2 icon..that will default to RTG

true - i can look at that. its just grunt work i normally dont like doing

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I'm probably testing unsupported games or archive corrupt, where can i download a supported game?

I attach two screenshots to 2 different games that they do not start:

On OS3 there is a CLI command called RequestFile that pops up an ASL file requester that I believe can be passed a switch to make it return the path of a directory. Then you could use IconX to launch the completed shell script as a launcher. No modifications needed for the executable if done that way.

That sounds like the simplest solution. For Mupen64 I added my own requester.

I bet, but a requester might be enough as long as the paks are not extracted. I did this for Mupen64:

        char *pattern = "#?.(n64|v64|z64)";
        char pppattern[16 * 2 + 2];

        if (ParsePatternNoCase(pattern, pppattern, sizeof(pppattern)) == 1)
        {
            struct FileRequester *request;

            if ((request = AllocAslRequestTags(
                ASL_FileRequest,
                ASLFR_SleepWindow, 1,
                ASLFR_RejectIcons, 1,
                ASLFR_TitleText, "Select a Nintendo 64 ROM",
                ASLFR_DoPatterns, TRUE,
                ASLFR_AcceptPattern, pppattern,
                ASLFR_InitialPattern, pattern,
                TAG_DONE)))
            {
                if (AslRequest(request, NULL))
                {
                    int len = strlen(request->fr_Drawer) + strlen(request->fr_File) + 2;
                    
                    if ((l_ROMFilepath = malloc(len)))
                    {
                        strncpy(l_ROMFilepath, request->fr_Drawer, len);
                        if (AddPart(l_ROMFilepath, request->fr_File, len))
                        {
                            FreeAslRequest(request);
                            return M64ERR_SUCCESS;
                        }
                        DebugMessage(M64MSG_ERROR, "UI-console: l_ROMFilepath overflow\n");
                        free(l_ROMFilepath);
                    }
                }
                FreeAslRequest(request);
            }
        }

I probably shouldn't clutter the news thread with code snippets
