Tiny Launcher: How do you "install" it?

c0dehunter · 29 May 2022, 00:09

Does Tiny Launcher have an installer? So far, I have only been able to copy it to my DH0: drive, and launch the executable from there. There has to be a better way to install it.

Thanks!

TinyLauncher is meant to be very easy to use and since the package only has the exe and the readme I think the idea is that copying is the easiest way to install it.

OK, how can I create a shortcut to the .EXE, as when I click on the .EXE, I always get the RUN command pop-up window, which is really annoying!

@c0dehunter
Make a tool icon with the icon editor. I think that will fix it.

How do I do that, can you please explain?

The icon editor is in the Tools drawer:

Make sure that Type - Tool is selected:

Then just save it as the icon for TinyLauncher.

Afterwards

Does TinyLauncher require a workbench installation, or does it run as a AmigaDos tool? Later one could be interesting for a kind of MegaAGS loader on an emulated Amiga setup aiming for fast as possible bootup time to select e.g. games from a list.

It doesn't need WB. Here's a thread about a minimal setup to use it: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=90003

Cool, thanks. Trying to setup a minimal Pi400 Amiga setup booting as fast as possible into games selection screen using Amiberry for emulation task and a bare minimal Linux version.

Post 15: Download and extract TinyLauncherStarter.lha into your TinyLauncher directory and click on the space invader icon to run:
