ppill, I'll have a look into it thanks.
KG, should I give your program any extra stack from CLI, or does it handle that itself? |

It's pretty straightforward to setup. I use it on the CF_ClassicWB boot floppies. Here's the mountlist:
Code:
/* Mount Entry for the Dynamic Recoverable Ram Disk */ Device = vdisk.device Unit = 0 Flags = 0x1b BlockSize = 512 Surfaces = 1 BlocksPerTrack = 32 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 13 BootPri = 6 Buffers = 10 BufMemType = 0x5 DosType = 0x444f5303 Activate = 1 Code:
loadmodule devs:vdisk.device reverse Code:
mount vd0: copy >NIL: df0:boot/ vd0: all loadmodule devs:vdisk.device reverse |

Thanks for the info ppill.
KG, I'll give it loads of stack to protect it from crashing then! No seriously, if you haven't had any stability issues perhaps it's fine on the default (4k). I might give it 32, just to be safe. |

Cool, I plan on updating the current beta with a slightly newer one so any problems anyone finds please let me know so I can try and fix them before the update!

Hi KG,
I get an occassional graphic glitch on the front end when exiting a game. It is a vertical hashed column about 1cm x 6cm it appears on a random part of the screen. I will try and get a photo later. It does not affect the functionality of the frontend. Will the frontend eventually scan for installed games? Right now It dumps me back to WB if I inadvertantly choose a game that I dont have. This will be more pronounced on my A600 where I will only install a selection of games. Thanks again! |

It'd be good to see a pic of this...
Is the column mostly green by any chance? Also, when you say "when exiting a game", what does that mean? When you select a game from the menu? As for the scanner, yes I will be including a scanner. It'll scan your specified rom paths, and create new database files/folders for all games it finds (they have to be the same names as my KGWHD packs). The frontend is currently only in beta state which is why it just comes with the full games list. I'll be changing the handling of games which don't exist soon. |

Hi KG "when exiting a game" means after playing a game started from the Frontend and pressing the WHDLoad kill key eg. F10.

Ah, so when the menu reloads itself there is a graphic glitch on the menu.
Does it disappear? |

Have you uploaded an ECS version yet?
Just so I can dump that in the packs too. The only ClassicWB pack without your launcher then will be the GAAE, which is kickstart 2. |

Although it does work perfectly. I'm going to do a tidy up of the code and update the zips a little for a monday upload. Not sure when you are planning on releasing your ClassicWB updates but maybe you could wait until then? Ah ok... If what you describe is what I'm thinking of, it's to do with the screen update. I do have working code that double buffers the screen so stops this happening. I will try and get it in the next update but it may have to wait until beta 3. |

Great.
That's fine. I'm in no rush. Like I said before, I know your launcher will be under continual development so all I'm doing to the packs is preparing them for it (and future updates) by adding links and RAD: boot ability. |

I appended the executecleanup line from the KGLoad prefs file to my s/whdload.prefs
