Hi Chris and welcome to EAB!
You can use relative paths without a problem. So the '.\games\subfolder' sounds okay if WinUAE is in the 'base' folder of 'games'. Not sure if you meant that though |

Thanks for the reply
yes i know that i can do that but if i save a configuration then he save the full path and not just the subfolder for example E:\programme\WINUAE\Games (german windows) and not .\games\ even i type .\games\ before the diskname for example .\games\Lemmings_1.adf but hen its doesnt work on other pc my win partition is E:\ but most have C:\ the drive letter C doesnt exist by me (i done it so) hope we can find solution cos i promised i will get it for her and i dont want she get disappointed |

Okay, seems that it doesn't like '.\' as the start. Just use '\', so in your case '\games\Lemmings_1.adf' for example.

hm... i still get the white screen with the workbench disk if i type \games\lemmings_1.adf manually
strange. he only continue when i mount the disk manually maybe is there a configurator for winuae so that beginners can use it cos winuae is not easy for people who have no idea how a pc works. i try google but i dont find any maybe i dont have the right keyword for searching...... edit: i found lemonade as game browser for winuae lets see how to handle it but thanks anyway =) Last edited by TheChris80; 22 November 2009 at 17:45. |

About the relative paths : It works here, so could you attach (there is an 'Manage Attachments' button once you post when you scroll down) a config that you made with the '\' path? |

if i could know how to set this path manually in the config but im to scared to crash winuae and nothing works anymore
so i just need type the diskname in the floppy field example DF0 Lemmings_1.adf that were nice and would solve my problems ps. these tools are not that i was looking for its more work as use winuae manually ^^ cos he never show what i got he show every game what is known in their database and there is not button or other´s with that i can tell him he should show me only what i got even then when i have this game i cant start it from there xD so its useless for beginners who have no idea. |

Also you can easily open any WinUAE config with a text editor and the worst thing that can happen is that you mess up that one config. Make a backup first and you're safe. |
