vAmigaWeb app

[yesplease]

This thread is for discussion and support of https://vamigaweb.github.io

Until now support and discussion was done in several other threads … time has come to open a dedicated thread.

vAmigaWeb is an emulator designed as a PWA web app i.e. it is meant to be installed as a PWA which is done in chrome by choosing install app or in iOS/iPadOS by saving it to your home screen.

use cases:

• install it on any modern device as a PWA or web app.
• embed a vAmigaWeb player on your website ( learn more )
• start a game with a direct start link ( learn more )

The emulator core is written in modern c++ and compiled to web assembly. It is a complete new and very clean code base which was written from scratch beginning in 2019 by GitHub user https://github.com/dirkwhoffmann/vAmiga It has no UAE code inside.

For my part I have still my A1000 from 1986 and I am absolutely still in love with it and some old games. Also I am interested in doing modern stuff with the web and try out new stuff or modern APIs made for it. Creating vAmigaWeb allowed me to connect these two passions .

If you have any question you can post it here or open an issue/discussion at github https://github.com/vAmigaWeb/vAmigaWeb

finally there is also an about page with some demos and try outs https://vamigaweb.github.io/doc/about.html

What I'm trying to achieve:
* Provide a ZIP file
* Automatically mount the ADF files contained therein into DFx in alphabetical order

By default, when providing a ZIP file with several files inside, the emulator prompts the user what to do with them. Can this be preconfigured through the hosting website in any way?

If impossible with a ZIP, is there a description for dummies how to pre-configure several ADFs?

specify a zip file in the url property of the vAmigaWeb_player config and define a mount list in the startup script property like so


startup_script: `df_mount_list=['Batman_Rises_disk1.adf','Batman_Rises_disk2.adf']`,

url:'/doc/media/batman_rises.zip'


The first mount list entry goes in df0, the second in df1 and so on …

(You can see the code in action at the about page https://vamigaweb.github.io/doc/about.html watch out for batman )


For mounting hds inside the zip you have to use the hd_mount_list

Thank you, yesplease, this is now working exactly as I envisioned it, and it solves all the performance issues I had with SAE! Plus, zip support is the cherry on top. Great work, I think I'll switch to vc64Web as well

[yesplease]

Hmm you wrote „it is NOT working exactly as you envisioned“? But the mount list for zip files entries is working no ?

Yes I like vc64web too. https://vc64web.GitHub.io is nice because it can fetch all http://csdb.dk titles from an URL link. This is because the admin of csdb allowed explicitly CORS (cross origin resource sharing) for vc64web. That lets vc64web also display a nice media browser for hundred thousands of c64 titles. A pity we don‘t have such a demo database for vAmigaWeb …

Oops, sorry. I meant now. I have edited my post above
