Installed MorphOS on my eMac, Now What?

Alright, well then it's probably because I renamed the 1200 Kick to kick.rom and that's the rom I pointed my 1200 config file to. So could it be that when I'm running an ADF like Giana Sisters that it is defaulting to the 1200 config file and not the 500 one? How does it know which one to use btw anyhow?

The ADF filetype actions add two entries in the contextmenu (one for A500 and another for A1200), the default one (when you doubleclick) being the 1200, IIRC.
So it's up to you to know if a game can run in a 500 or 1200 or not, basically. Obviously, a more advanced version of these scripts could use a database to do it properly.

@ Piru and TakemeHomeGrandma: What's up with the elusive references? And what is it that you are referring to anyhow?

@Fab: So is there a way to tell an ADF to launch off the 500 config and not the 1200 one?

I'm VERY new to this MorphOS stuff.

Yes, you use right mouse button over the adf file to bring contextmenu. You should see at the bottom two actions: one for A1200 (in bold, i guess), and another for A500.

Correction: The ambient icons do not display correctly in the Dopus lister, but I can use them. What they display instead of what they are supposed to is a box that says Ambient PNG.

Is there a way to correct this, or something I've overlooked?

PNG icons can't be read by the usual call to icon.library that Magellan is using, so it displays this "PNG" text instead.

IIRC there were some 3rd party patches to the 68k icon.library that allow magellan to display PNG icons, but i would definitely avoid that, since it could easily cause some conflicts or instability or whatever.

I'd suggest to use Magellan mainly in lister mode, which is where it's the most efficient, anyway, but that's just my usage pattern, here.
