iGame - MUI based game loader on Aminet
This ( http://aminet.net/util/misc/iGame.lha )was new on Aminet and it looked a good idea I though... it appears to be a quick launch MUI menu system for WHDload games.
The software is apparently slow when loading lots of games but it may be an idea to keep an eye on the website to see if the guy can overcome this problem... http://igame.amigahellas.gr/ |

@All Thanks for trying out iGame. Hope you like it. As for the slow thing part: I'm developing iGame on a 060 amiga, with ~200 games. Since I'm a lazy guy, I left the list sorting to MUI... bad choice. On the 060 it's ok (2-3 secs tops to sort 200 games), however when I tried it (just recently) on an A1200 with 030 with 2000 games the results where embarrasing (10 - 30 secs to load the list...) Since fixing that will require some heavy modification, and since it's been a long time since I started it (did I mention I'm lazy? ) I thought I should release it now and start fixing the slowness for the next version.

We are all entitled to be lazy every now and then
I presume it's mouse controlled? |

Well, not using MUI would certainly help with the speed...

Excellent idea! Downloaded it at once, but I have this strange bug. Whenever I start a game it ask for a device and I have to cancel the requester twice to start the game. I used SnoopDOS to check what the programs looks for and it's an .info file. Both the device and the .info file consist of strange characters...

@Flashlab
Damn, strange... I'll have to think about that a bit... @AmigaZ & Keropi Is the list there, but only the text is the same as the BG? I.e. clicking on a game starts it? What about the list under the screenshot, is it visible? Hope we find a solution or else we're gonna have to solve this with keropi over our Amigas and a bottle of ouzo!! @Dizzy Small world!! The pic you linked there, is from my island!! Yep, typical Cretan ppl (but no I dont look like those on the pic - yet)
