iGame x2

NovaCoder · 30 August 2011, 21:54

I'm using the WHDLOAD packs (1600 games installed!) and it would take me ages to mark all my demos as 'demos' to filter them out from the iGame list.

Then I had a crazy idea, would it be possible to install 2 copies of iGame in ClassicWB?

One version for games and the other one for just demos, we could even have a menu button for each version (eg WHDLOAD->Games, WHDLOAD->Demos).

What do you think?

I do only use Demos And Games, i have removed all the others.

I could send you my file and you may take it over from there?

Nice thought, I'll definitely look into this Novacoder - let me know if you have given this a shot with success.

Nope I've not found time to give it a try yet but I'll let you know how I get on when I do.

The only issue I can see is that the environment variables from the two version's may overwrite each other's settings.

Yes but you can make a Bloodwych's style script that copies the right files/variables before launching the designated iGame

Sound's like a plan, I'm not sure I have the brain capacity to work it out though
