@saimo

Sorry but i dont get this.. seems im too stupid to set this up..
i want to start webdesign by doubbleclick since this doesnt work because of the cando.library.
SO i move a .rc file with the specs of the amiga i want to emulate to the dir, give it a icon with default tool LA, place libs into the dir and
add a startup secuence where webdesign get started. Then i only have to Doubbleklick
the .rc file?


and this adf/dms direct start... since i can specify in the rc file
wich disks should be used i dont have to use LA to start them...
so whats the advantage against "uae rcfile.rc" then?

What is exactly the problem? Library loading or...?

Yes, this is correct. However, did you put in the same directory *all* the other OS components (devices, handlers, etc.) needed?

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EVERYBODY
I'm working at a feature that allows to have a *single* system partition/drawer to be used by *all* applications, i.e. you install your classic AOS anywhere and then all the application can rely on it (no more fiddling with system files for each and every application! Moreover, if the OS resides on an unmounted volume, it gets mounted automagically!).
I hope to release it within a day or two, so, stay tuned .

First off, the disk images kind and number are detected automatically, so you don't need to manually list them. Secondly, this way you can pack everything in a single archive, meaning that, f.ex. a game can consist of just a single file. There are other advantages: please refer to the documentation (updated today, BTW).

P.S. sbaglio, o sei italiano? Se così, magari chiedimi delucidazioni via email oppure su iksnet.

Yes, and FDIs are accepted as well.

Haven't had a chance to test this yet, but it looks fantastic! I'll download it once the update is available.

Thank you .

You can try it right away: the new version will be fully backwards-compatible .
In the meanwhile, you can start playing around with it and learn how to make the most of it. My only advice, now, is: don't spend too much time creating application-specific OS installations, as in the future a single one will suit all. Learning the mechanism is recommended, though.

YET ANOTHER NOTICE TO EVERYBODY
At this point, the only thing delaying the release is the fact that applications running from RAM: cause several requests of the kind Please insert volume "/OS 3.9:". (where "OS 3.9:" is my shared system partition), without, in the end, causing any malfunctioning (it is just plainly and deadly annoying). This is weird because the very same application (I mean, an identical, CLONED copy of it), if started from any other device, just runs without a glitch . Since the whole system of OS sharing is based on softlinks, could it be an issue with the ramdrive? Any clue, anybody? .
This is definitely a show-stopper because applications not based on floppy images, when packed, are executed from a temporary location that is recommendable to set somewhere in RAM: (T:, by default, which happens to be in RAM: for - probably - everybody). As for the rest, the system works perfectly: I can already run two or more instances of the same application using a centralized OS drawer (it goes without saying that it works also with different applications).
Maybe... should I release a test version so that you can try it out and report your experiences?

I've gotten dosbox to run pc games from double clicking an icon in workbench

got an exe you want to run
create an icon for it then
set the application to be dos box
then set the following line into the tooltypes

-c "mount c applications/Games/FPS"


set to start from shell with no prompt
set default tool to Applications:Emulation/DosBox/dosbox.os4

thanks, I write down what you said and hope to test it soon.

so you are not using rundos, which is supposed to achieve the same.

Nope, just used the tooltypes to pass the parameters

got it working with Comanche thanks

well at least it starts but I need to specify -conf dosbox.conf but the keyboard does not work, whereas if I start it "the usual way" it is ok.

OK, the new version is released now.
The new feature described above makes integration a lot better, so make sure you don't miss it . For more information, have a look at the "TUTORIAL" section of the updated website (technical details will be given in the "OTHER INFORMATION" section ASAP).

I've investigated the problem a bit and it seems that the malfuctioning is caused by E-UAE following file softlinks as if they were directories when the application is started from any location in RAM: (OS-legal, packed applications, for example). The problem does not arise with SFS. Dunno with FFS.

Please report your experience!

Just wanted to inform you that now also the details about the centralized system are online. I warmly recommend to read them thoroughly in order to achieve the highest level of integration possible.

Enjoy,

I'll put your package in the distribution section of the OS4 CD so that we'll have it when a new full CD is created.

That's great, thanks!
However, the project is not 100% complete yet, so keep an eye on the following updates

And another one is ready now: it features a handy script that performs a complete cleanup when the machine crashes/resets (for whatever reason) when a classic application is being executed using the centralized system (well, better explanation available at the usual website).

You're going great guns on this saimo!

I still haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but next week I will - I promise!

It's been lying on my HD for years... now that I pulled it out, I want it to be *very* good
BTW: today I released an almost final version (now also on OS4Depot): it's more robust, so don't miss it

I hope it will meet your needs. Let me know.

Well I installed your lastest glUAE package. I had problems with kick.rom as mentioned in my post before. I had a wrong path.It´s now corrected. My problem is that UAE starts but only shows me the kickrom 1.3 screen. What I did:

1.installed your package
2.created a drawer called superfrog
3.copied all four diskimages (.adf) into it
4.selected the first disk and changed the projecticon to use the launcher (LA)
5.swichted to shell unchecked the prompt thinggy
6.created superfrog.rc and copied it into the superfrog drawer
7.doubleclick the first disk of superfrog

-->uae starts but only shows me the bootscreen of 1.3 kick.

What to do?

Everything seems correct. I'll repeat the very same steps and see what happens, then I'll let you know.

Edit: OK, now I did the test. I only have the IPFs from the Dream17 site and everything worked fine. Have you named the disk "0.adf", "1.adf", "2.adf" and "3.adf" (or "1.adf", ..., "4.adf")?

I checked your install script. You should use "unsetenv delete " instead of using "delete" on them.
If Colin sees you, he will kick your butt
