Hmm, I think it is already possible. I just added "tool" icon for FFplay and when I click on the icon I get filerequester. What happens when you do the same?

I got the requestor to work also with the "tool" icon type and Start from shell. I had to un-check Prompt for input. I learned something new. Thanks.

Thomas Richter's library is very well written and tries to do the least number of hacks and everything by the book. I have found it to be mostly bug free and as fast as the P5 version when configured for the fastest speed. It is also one of the most compatible and flexible when installed and configured correctly. However, it's by far the most difficult to install correctly. An mmu is required also.

 What makes me not to install the MMULib version, is that it only works with a patched version of SetPatch from AOS 3.0/3.1 and i'm not sure if it's a good idea for AOS 3.9 users to do this. The latest version of SetPatch (44.48) applies a few extra stuff which improve stability.

Thomas is still supporting and willing to fix bugs despite his hardware being flaky.

 He is? I thought that he completely gave up after his Amiga 4000 ceased to work. The recent Aminet release, contains a version that he had compiled in the past and forgot to upload it. I do hope you are right.

@AmigaMance

It's no longer necessary to use the patched setpatch that loads the 680x0.library. The newest AmigaOS 3.9 BB2 setpatch loads the 68060.library directly and that is all that is needed. This is from a recent e-mail with Thomas Richter...

Matt Hey (me):
> "You should probably know that the 68060 is detected and the 68060.library is started directly now by the latest AmigaOS 3.9 BB2 SetPatch. This doesn't cause any problems but the 680x0.library is not started first in this case."

Thomas:
"Sure I know. I urged Heinz to do that. The 680x0.library does nothing, really.
It doesn't install a patch or that, it just loads the proper code. Latest SetPatch is smart enough to do that itself."

Use the latest AmigaOS 3.9 BB2 SetPatch V44.38 with Thomas Richter's 68060.library and 68040.library.

Thomas' Amiga was broken but he has managed to get it working for now. He has become interested in the Natami project...
