I have tested this new version quickly this evening, to my point of view:
I like the new musics in the menu and the launcher, less the setup one. New launcher look, no more .slave Faster games select. Good job Jim, go on |

I gave this a quick test and it has some nice features - very powerful scanning engine that can search all subdirectories in a given path or assign.
I did find it changed the Workbench colours when starting and left them changed when exiting. Although I'd imagine this is more of a boot time launcher. Also, it desperately requires a method to jump quickly to letters of the alphabet - by either using left and right to jump to A then B then C etc or sorting games by letter. The long list takes a long time to navigate. Also seems to take quite a bit of memory. It is however alpha and its nice to see it moving along. Anyway, always nice to see free projects like this and appreciate the work. |
