TinyLauncher 3+ released - Page 4

Well, don't know the exact unique number of StatMats covers since there are a lot of doubled/trippled due to different language/AGA-OCS/publisher etc. names which are needed for the WHDLoad variants.

DamienD · 16 February 2017, 14:42

Taken a look at both lists, this will be a nightmare to do unfortunately:

For example in the "Tarzins Cover Scans.txt" list there's only one "1869 (AGA).iff". With this I guess you would need to rename and then make copies so it's then:

... 1869AGA_SCR0.iff
... 1869AGADe_SCR0.iff
... 1869De_SCR0.iff
... 1869Pl_SCR0.iff

Retro-Nerd · 16 February 2017, 14:49

That's what i thought.

DamienD · 16 February 2017, 14:53

Sorry man, would be easier (but very time consuming) to do it manually as there's no way to do this in bulk given all the difference between both lists

Retrofan · 16 February 2017, 15:18

Have you asked Cyberhead97? He makes these kind of programs to rename files and so. In PC and Amiga too.

Nice then

To chime in, I may be able to perform the task with a fuzzy name implementation I have. If you're interested that is.

But before I do, can I make sure I have Tarzin's complete pack too. That way I can cross reference the results.

Tarzin · 16 February 2017, 19:56

First pack is not complete.
I've another one to send with 309 covers (normally differents from previous pack)
Will do that ASAP (maybe this week-end)

And sadly, for the moment, AmiGame is no more officially available.

I always get Device not found. Error 20. I have run TL succesfully in the past on the same system. I also deleted the old S:TinyLauncher. Any clues what's wrong? Specs in signature.

TinyLauncher expects DH0:, DH1: not other device names like HD0: etc. Try the attached beta. Should be fixed now.

emuola · 17 February 2017, 18:20

Ahh.. I have devices called Boot, Games and Stuff. Will try this later tonight . Thanks 🖒

If I write a path for Games 2 and I wrote it by mistake I can't delete it.

Does it save a file with that info somewhere that I can manually edit?

Edit: Another thing. I make the update for games in my paths, I start a game, "1st Division Manager" and it doesn't start, it returns to TL. I try 1943 and it opens right.

Ah, BTW... WE want Gibs Back !!

Retro-Nerd · 17 February 2017, 22:11

Check this video how you can delete a wrong path.

Retrofan · 17 February 2017, 22:42

Yes, that works (delete).

Do you use TL from booting or from WB? Just wondering why some games don't work. They return to TL or they don't make anything all, you return to WB but the program seems to be working still and I have to reset the miggy.

Making the TL exe without icon seems to me that it is thought to be lauched mainly from booting (well or cli). I try to run it from cli on WB.

Retro-Nerd · 17 February 2017, 22:57

Some have problems with the icons, e.g. Battle Isle says it's a broken version but it's not. I had to replace the icon. Have you enabled the tooltypes (T key in the main menu)? I run TL from WB.

Yup, works

Great!

One more problem...

How do I start TL from the shell during start-up (start-up sequence)? TL is in Boot:Programs/TL

I have tried all syntaxes I can think of, but it won't work

All help highly appreciated

Retro-Nerd · 17 February 2017, 23:07

What you do mean with shell from startup? Do you boot without startup-sequence and want to start it manually? Or do you want to put it into the startup-sequence for an auto boot?

Retrofan · 17 February 2017, 23:14

I have the idea that when you try to open a game of the list that doesn't work for whatever and then when it returns to TL, then when you open another it doesn´t work.

Edit: No, I'm wrong.

Retro-Nerd · 17 February 2017, 23:23

TL is meant for WB, CLI or startup-sequence boot. That's up to you. For your problem. Maybe you should talk with Gibs. He's only one e-mail away.

Retrofan · 17 February 2017, 23:29

Thanks. Yes, you are true.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear... I want to start it automatically during boot. I have a hard time understanding the syntax. There are commands like execute, run and then just plain names of the executables (as in ms-dos bat-files). How should I do it?
