JAmiga - A frontend for WinUAE - Page 4

oakey dokey,

just had a quick go (luv the new icon)

the new info pane does appear sometimes (after first minimizing itself to the taskbar) but cannot be resized from a maximized status, and obviously no rtf or font changing etc yet.

i understand this is a beta, so hey, good work.
i wont push for the finished article, perfection takes time !

Not sure what you mean. The new window doesn't minimize to the taskbar with the main window yet, but it should resize, minimize and so on without problems. Also it should display the RTF file with fonts, colors and stuff like that. Maybe you could upload a example RTF file, so I can have a look what's wrong.

Edit : Just seen the problem when the main window is maximized. Will be fixed

Nice stuff. Question from a complete JAmiga newbie ( = me):

is this going to become a Gamebase Amiga alternative?

At least at first look, it seems so...

Rather not

I'm not going to release a 'master' xml file and have people download the exact version that I use. It's just a 'helper' that let's you have a bit more info about your games. Guess I need to spend some more time on it before this can get close to the work Belgareth has put into Gamebase

andreas · 30 September 2009, 02:49

Oh yes, bloody hard to compete with Belgarath's efforts with no doubt

However, not only Belgarath's: we must not forget Gamebase original author James ("Buzz") who coded the actual application, i. e. the basis to all the different gamebases.

OK, before I get too OT: thanks for the explanations.

Any chance for an Update that will play mp3 files. So it's possible to use the files from the stonevalley archive. And Also the possibility to Press a letter to reach games/demos Quicker ??
Im still very happy with This one TCD. :-).
I managed to make it work with whdload too. Wonderful.

MP3s already work and you can already press a letter (or more if you're fast) to select an entry

Just select the list first. Sorry to say, but I don't think that I will update it again.

AxelFoley · 20 May 2011, 07:46

Maybe someone forgot to read the readme... sorry. Mp3 files are OK.
Pressing a letter does not work. It worked before updating to the final release.
Maybe somethings wrong here. It's OK. I can live with that.
Thank you.

Hmm, okay I'll have a look tonight then
