Title: Running Games Command Line
Post by: nasty on January 05, 2006, 08:09:23 PM: How do you run games from a command line?

I've brought up the command box and entered the following
"DH2:WHDLoad/ArcadePool/ArcadePool.exe and i've tryed Games:WHDLoad/ArcadePool/ArcadePool.exe" but with no joy. so any help will be great

1.>whdload arcadepool.slave

You mentioned you are going to write the menu in Flash. How will this run on your Amiga?

(http://aminet.net/search.php?query=swfplayer)but I'm thinking of giving up on the flash soon as I'm having problems getting the commands to work but ive got afew more things to try before trying something else :-)

I had no idea there was a Flash player for AmigaOS. If you don't have any luck with that, you might want to have a look at Hollywood (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.de/en/prod_hollywood.html), which appears to be Scala on steroids :-)

Heh, I honestly don't know :-) I think it's just from looking at other people's scripts to see how they work, then looking at the syntax for any commands I don't recognise.
