Launchers or multiple script files, linux emulation?
« on: January 19, 2013, 07:48:39 PM »
I've setup a bunch of launchers for my dos games on my linux box. This is so much better than manually starting dosbox, mounting the c drive and starting each game.

I would really like to do this for amiga games, demos and apps as well with uae. Does anyone know how to get uae to read a seperate config file, where I could specify seperate adf files for each game?

I've tried to figure this out and had no luck. There has to be a way to integrate launchers for amiga games... As it is now I just load a session of amigaos3.x loaded up with whdload games, but I'd prefer to just load the games from a launcher setup like this dosbox launcher setup.

Any help or thoughts on doing this, would be greatly appreciated. I guess I'm
halfway done setting up this linux box as my main machine.... It has everything I like so far except the amiga games not done.

Seems very complicated... I tried fs-uae can't say I like it. Takes control of the host mouse...

Also, my folders which work in winuae and e-uae don't work with it for some reason?

On linux, I've been using euae. Works for full os3.x session,but I can't figure out how to get it to read different config files. If I could figure that out... I could do what I want to do...
which is just load amiga games, demos or apps straight from the linux desktop with a program launcher in xfce...

Well I got different config files working with right clicking on them and selecting open with uae... But does anyone know the e-uae command line option for loading a specific config
file? I thought it was e-uae -f /path to config but this does not seem to be working?

Almost! GRRRR....
