Game config in Amiga Forever
i'm using Amiga Forever 2009.
I've made rp9 package of game (for example: Walker). Everytime iclick on this game in AF player it asks me about configuration. It's very annoying. Other games which already in AF Plus package don't require configuration everytime. So how can i tweak my rp9 or how to save config so AF won't ask me about it anymore? |

The RP9 file is actually a zip archive, which you should be able to open with e.g. 7-Zip (or whatever you use).
There should be an XML file in there, which you can open with Notepad. If you compare the XML file in a RP9 file you've created with the file in one of the bundled RP9s, you might find what you're looking for? |

i thought the same, but nope...
there is no game config in RP2/RP9 file. this is the body of rp2-manifest.xml (rp9-manifest.xml is the same) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <rp2 xmlns="http://www.retroplatform.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.retroplatform.com http://www.retroplatform.com/xsd/rp2.xsd"> <requirements> <host>Cloanto(R) RetroPlatform Player(TM)</host> <playerversion>2.0.0.0</playerversion> <libraryversion>1.1</libraryversion> </requirements> <application> <description> <id score="100">1.3.6.1.4.1.23153.1000.9.164.1</id> </description> </application> </rp2> This is from Kick-Off game bundled with AF 2009. The only difference in xml between games is in <id score="100">1.3.6.1.4.1.23153.1000.9.164.1</id>. probably, config is somewhere in database which is either burried somwere in AF files (i couldn't find it) or on AF server. On AF server i found mention of that xml can have additional more detail parameters for game, but there is no example of such XML found. |

Look for 'Compact Application Description Data Detai' and 'Application Configuration Data Detail'. Not really self explanatory, but if you have some knowledge of XML you should be able to at least try to make it work |

i already saw such so-called description. It's impossible to create xml by such description. There are no item names, no possible values, no hiearahy table.
Example of custom made xml for just one game would be more than enough, but Amiga Forever team didn't give such chance Last edited by sorg; 07 April 2010 at 15:45. |

Apparently you can only avoid the problems you are having if the game you are playing is in the 'RetroPlatform Library'. I'm guessing if the CRC of a particular ADF file is in the Library, you're okay. But if not then, erm, you're not.

To be fair... even with having to select your model of Amiga, it is less clicks to load an ADF game from the Amiga Forever Player than to do it manually from within WinUAE (even with the Quickstart mode).

i believe it uses ID (like 1.3.6.1.4.1.23153.1000.9.164.1 for mentioned game). Do you know how to access that RepoPlatform library? Or at least how to get correct ID for required game?

As far as I understand it, the library is installed as part of the AF installation, and updated periodically. Mike of Cloanto told me in an email that they plan to open this up to users, but how or when, I don't know.
