[JimNeray]

X-bEnCh 0.71 is out ! :mickeymouse:

The release 0.71 replace the 0.7 published this morning. The 0.7b was bugged in the init sequence (wrong file check on startup).

X-bEnch is a game/whdload launcher with 128 colors on screen even on an amiga 500.

You can download it here: http://www.jimneray.com

What's New ?

- Start faster than with the previous release.
- Added a Roto-starfield effect in the background of the main menu.
- Now autoscan your keymap type (QWERTY, QWERTZ or AZERTY) and correctly assign the keys to the FastJump feature.
- You can now disable the unused listing with the setup.
- Added a rainbow effect to the title name of the displayed list in the launcher.
- Launcher reactivity optimisation.
- Cli fixed in many cases but maybe still buggy in some cases ...
- Now the name of a listing can be up to 8 character long (5 previously)
- Now in the setup save the name of the listings if you change it either if you don't have updated any list.
- Fixed many ugly visual bugs when opening/closing the display.
- Fixed a redisplay bug in the Menuscreen and the launcher screen.

UPDATE:

X-bEnCh release 0.72 Beta is out !

Available to download at http://www.jimneray.com

What's new ?

-Fixed the "Return where you was before" function that was always going back to the first listing when exiting a game.
-Now when pressing "DEL" during the init don't launch Xbench but start the Workbench. Really useful if you want to put X-bEnCh in your startup-sequence. To do so replace the line:

c:loadwb

in your startup-sequence by this two ones:

cd yourharddrive:xbpath/
execute >nil: xbench.exe

After that your Amiga will always start on X-bEnCh but if you press the "DEL" key during the startup, it will start your Workbench instead of X-bEnCh.
