Old KGLoad Beta Download Thread

[killergorilla]

Hi folks,

anyone who is genuinely interested in helping me beta test my frontend can you please download KGLoad from the links below and give it a test!

I would appreciate a wide variety of specs so I can get a better idea of how well it's working.

Someone who is likely to test this on a CD32/stock A1200 would be very helpful as well.

I'll give it a go so I can see how to integrate it into the ClassicWB packs.

Although I have downloaded all your packs, I haven't got them all installed as I only have a 2GB flash drive.
Hopefully one day someone will do a large HD guide in the wiki
I only install what games I want. Will it make a difference?

[Magix]

hmm.. i've been considering this too Bloodwych

although, tbh, i was just gonna let it boot first before loading WB!

1) left / right mouse button 'quick CLI' or 'basic WB' loading
2) cd32 'emulation' booting from CD0:
3) KGload
4) on exit of KGload , boot WB

that's how i plan to use it anyway

I am so lazy, that both my csppc A4000's are under "heatsink/fan" upgrades for the past 3 months... so I can't test , and I force Anemos to test extensively KG-Load. that will teach him

[pbareges]

[killergorilla]

Wow, quite a few of you then! Cheers everyone.

That's made me feel all happy and stuff. (nothing sexual)

The beta will come as a standard zip package with all the necessary files inside. It'll come with both an icon to start it from and a startup sequence should you want to boot it on it's own (which I hope some of you do because I need this testing!).

I'll whack together a small text file with instructions on the very few adjustments you'll need to make to your system (libs, editing whdload.prefs etc.).

It'll come with the complete database, but you'll need to make sure you unpack the games (the ones from my packs, nothing else is supported) to whatever gamePath(s) you specify.

Some good ideas!

My idea for the default installs is integrating the launcher using a RAD: boot system. Hold the left mouse button on boot and select KGLoad (EDITED - WRONG NAME LOL) from the requester. Everytime you reset your Amiga after the initial load, it boots straight back into the KG Launcher as RAD: survives soft booting, leaving maximum resources free.

The newer bootmenus can be seen here:

I'll also add it to the Workbench menus. Obviously KG might want a say in how it's presented also.
