KGWHDLoad

Sorry mate, I'm not really interested in lha versions, I've already got them all as zips.  

They were all originally lzx files IIRC, but I reinstalled every single one using zip instead as I get far less questions about zips

@mbeuler: yep it did take years  Glad to have done it though, it's made my life easier in the long run!

For those interested in KGLoad (The Menu), I've made some really good progress over the last day so should have a beta soon.

Can you give us some more information on this?

Is it a front end where you just scroll through and select the game you want and it then launches/configures it?

Assuming someone has a basic OS3.x setup, how does the whole thing install?  I'm guessing that the 0-Z archives need to be unpacked to a specific draw on the hard drive.  Is there a single location for placing the various ROM images?  How about WHDLoad itself, is that just a normal install of the basic package?

Cheers.

Yep, it's a frontend for loading anything you like really.

It's mainly geared towards the whdload packs as it will come with a scanner to automatically generate the database based on which games you have 'installed'.

The menu comes with everything you need, screenshots, boxart, music, etc.  It also comes with the latest version of WHDLoad and all the necessary files.

The only thing it doesn't come with is the kickstart roms which you'll need to put in devs/kickstarts yourself.

You can put your games anywhere, you just need to edit the setup.ini file to add in your game paths.

There are currently two flavours.  One which is a standalone package.  It boots from a startup-sequence straight into the menu and you play your games from there.

The second is a version which you can run from your existing workbench.  Currently you have to manually copy the files but I will bundle an 'installer' with it.

Thanks, this frontend looks interresting, I might give it a try when the new beta is available. I'm now using Directory Opus (added a filetype) to start WHDLoad games.

Damn!  That's ahell of a lot of work you've done there.   :-o

It sounds fantastic.

Yaqube has got WHDload running on the ARM equipped Minimig using the 28MHz 68000 and a hard file on the SD Card.  As well as installing this on my A4000 when it is available, I'll also test it on the C-One and my ARM Minimig v1.1.

Hey man cool work on this project. Thank you. I just got into whdload. Where can I get this stand alone workbench version? Will it detect my games if I point to the dir??
