I checked your install script. You should use "unsetenv delete " instead of using "delete" on them.

You are right! I'm fixing it right now!
Thanks for pointing it out.

Edit: on second thought: given that Unsetenv does not support wildcards, one is supposed to know in advance the names of the variables; otherwise, how one would know? Of course using List would break the paradigm just as much, while Setenv does not help because it does not support wildcards as well, nor it returns sub-paths (in glUAE's case, variables are in ENV:glUAE/).

My problem is that the early releases have been done on the fly, after reading about the user's needs here on AW (the whole project was not planned at all), so I lost track of the variables that were defined initially (I did not think the project would grow so much, so I started storing everything in an SVN repository later).

Sorry, Colin Wenzel did the conversion of dos.library from ASM to PPC.
And I remember him saying that everyone must use the appropriate commands and never read from/write to env: and envarc:.

No problem .
It was obvious that it had to be one involved with the environment code, but I just wanted to "taste" the joke to the fullest .

Which is something I wholeheartedly agree with: accessing the files means ignoring the API and making assumptions on the implementation - a very bad thing.
However, my problem can't be solved cleanly with the current API (which is why I went for Delete in first place): any advice?

Ok I understand the problem (the #? wildcard). Hummm, maybe something to add to the (un)set commands.

I checked the install script. You just want to remove old stuff, right? Then you probable know the name of your old variables. So there's no real problem to add a "unsetenv" line for each of them.
It's not a big effort

It would be a very nice addition, indeed .

It surely would not be big, it's just... impossible (see explanation given above - it's my fault, but that's how things are now).

saimo

P.S. In case you feel like diving deeper into my scripts, feel free: just be aware that I've already refined them, so, unless you find something bad, don't waste time checking/reporting things that may have already been changed (I'll release the changes, of course)

Ok, I added an enhancement request for unset/unsetenv/unalias commands to OS4 bugzilla.

Leave it as is for now.

bye

OK, the new stuff is available at the website and I'm also uploading it to OS4Depot.


@zErec

Have you tried the suggestion given earlier in this thread? Did it work? Did you finally get Superfrog working anyway?

Well, Last time I played with WHDLoad wsa several years ago, so I don't have a clear memory of how it works. However, I guess that it boils down to running the WHDLoad executable with the path of a file provided by the game installer as argument; if so, it does not differ from any other application: make sure that WHDLoad is installed correctly in the game drawer or, even better, in the centralized system and then put the right command in the startup-sequence.

Hi everybody,

the E-UAE GUI bounty news and some (old) comments about glUAE finally convinced me to release a revised version of my little tool: it contains a fix to a minor bug, improved documentation and some other internal changes. It has been already uploaded to OS4Depot and Aminet, so it's just a matter of time before it becomes available.

Enjoy!

This look like a superb app!
It seems to fill a gap in NG amigas that I was discussing with Rigo at Amiga revival 2009.

Tell me is it similar to RuninUAE?

Well, glUAE has been around since 2006 (when, in a discussion here on AW.net, I realized Amigans in general could find the stuff I had written just for myself useful)

I haven't tried it, but from what I've read it basically does the same thing (in a different way).

Thank you very much. I was insisting on full OS 3.x + OCS/AGA compatibilty
"any which way" and this one was easiest to do

I believe Hyperion should not under-estimate the big amount of classic users that would jump on their bandwagon if they would provide transparent Classic emulation for the X1000 (via software I mean).

They should also allow for real classic floppies (via CatWeasel) to be executed in uae transparently (right now if you try to run them from workbench it will be OS4 that will try to handle them, with disastrous results every time an OCS or AGA application dwells in those floppies).

Not vital for the "future" but great to attract customers IMHO.

It's very hard to guess numbers. Sure, built-in transparent emulation would make OS4 attractive to more users, but how many? How to evaluate the effort/benefit ratio? That's hard.

That aside, why just X1000? As you said yourself, this is a software issue (of course emulation would perform better on an X1000 than on a SAM, but that's a different story).
Another thing I don't understand is whether you're thinking of a custom emulation (which would be foolish for several reasons) or of a layer for UAE (which already exists).
Anyway, UAE is *the* solution for classic chipset emulation: integration can be improved by enhancing UAE itself.
