im working off amiga os 3.9, i have installed upto boingbag 4, recently my genesis refuses to work, it is saying its unable to find librarys, ive not changed anything so im a bit uncertain why this is the case ? just needs a bit troubleshooting i think

Do not install Boing Bag 3/4 with installer. Install it manually part By part.

I've noticed Boing bags 3 and 4 are now just one bag. Shows how often I check it.
I wouldn't recommend the installer either as it destroys the startup-sequence. Make a backup of startup-sequence and user-startup (just to be on the safe side) before installing.

Would help to know which library it says it cannot find.

Bah, bunch of negativity and FUD. BB3&4 are just patch rollups of many patches most users probably already have installed manually over the years, anyway.
It installs just fine on a clean system, your mileage may vary if you've got a system you've been using for years with just 1&2, and then try to install 3-4.

Sorry for the rambling. ;)

I too have a problem with Genesis
and Exodus, and Leviticus, and...well, you get the point :razz:

Use a SnoopDOS (http://aminet.net/package/util/moni/SnoopDos) to search for your problems. For the future: make backup at first. Unofficial BoingBags doesn't test in different configurations and thus spoil system.

Actually it asks whether you want startup-sequence replaced automatically. If you choose yes, it makes a backup automatically first. If you choose no, it just tells you what changes to make and brings up a text editor so you can make the changes yourself.
However, my site http://amigan.1emu.net is down, so getting a copy of the latest BB3&4 (V1.0i) may be difficult, try https://web.archive.org/web/20150209153516/http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/ Hopefully my site will be back up soon, probably at a different URL though...
@alienkidmj12:
More details needed: (a) what libraries is it failing to open? (use SnoopDOS if it won't tell you) and (b) did this issue start happening at the time BB3&4 was installed or later on (sounds like later on, which would suggest the issue isn't caused by BB3&4)?
