Using Batch file to run Whdload game
Hi all,
I am trying to get some WHDload games to run on an A600 with 2mb Ram. I know there are many games that won't run due to lack of ram, however, i am trying to create scripts that i can run trying to save as much Ram as possible for the game. I am not sure how to do this or if it is allowed by the OS. here is a batch file i created as a test -------------------------------- games02: cd dragonsbreath whdload dragonsbreath.slave ------------------------------- i try to run the script by double clicking on the icon it created when i saved the batch file and i get the "enter Command Arguments" window, when i click OK i get the ... dragonsbreath: file is not executable dragonsbreath failed returncode 10 message. When i open a CLI window and type each line in individually it will run, but the CLI window eats almost 120K. Is there a way to do this without opening a CLI window ? or are there other ways of doing this. Thanks. Kipper |

Try Execute dragonsbreath
If you dont want to type execute change the Tool Type propertys or Add a Proper Icon and use IconX |

You don't want to execute dragonsbreath as I presume it's a folder.
I would recommend using kgiconload and just do: cd folder kgiconload iconname.info |

Sorry for being so brief - If you Click Icons - Information and make it executable then Update you wont have to type execute.
Will KGload run batch files? |

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=584390&postcount=72 It'll run the default tool specified in the icon (which is WHDload in all whdload games), then use any tooltypes that are set in the icon. Boo Boo: kgiconload is not kgload. (might be a little confusing I know). kgiconload: tool for loading programs as if you had clicked on an icon. kgload: whdload games frontend |

Dragons Breath is one that would struggle to run in a 2mb environment.. in fact I don't think its possible
256k used by Kickstart 901k x 2 game disk images 901k x 1 save game image WHDLoad memory Shadow memory I would be stunned if it worked in 2meg of ram. |

When KickDOS is used, that just eats up a load of memory. |

That's not a batch script though, it's a single script executed via an icon...
