TeamAROS EUAE Integration Bounty Now Over $2080

[tonyyeb]

Why are people thinking games = full screen program that has no interaction with the file system / OS?

If i play a game where I could normally save my progress to the HD then i would want that from the UAE integration. And what about Workbench games?

I want to be able to fire up AROS, double click on the Syndicate icon, Syndicate load and then, load my save game from my AROS partition.

Remind me why you are being so pedantic again?

Because as more money is donated chances are that someone that has not read this board (or any amiga related board) in years might do this bounty and if people are thiking that reading minds is part of any software major then they are in for an unpleasent surprise.

Now stop being pedantic and donate some money!!!!

Now that technique of fundraising is new to me, what is next? beating me senseless with a Bill McEwen announcement and searching my pockets while I am defenseless? :-o

we have whdload so we dont need adf anymore.... whdload is like haveing the game installed on your hd now stop arguing  and start donating and working with the integration

For Games, UAE Integration is pointless.

Hear, hear!

You probably think of double clicking an adf file and the game starts ?

More like "double clicking an adf file and it mounts so I can execute/install the application" since application software for the amiga was mostly distributed in floppies, hence the usefulness of an option to mount adf files as virtual floppies.

Someone added $12? Hardly a major announcement

So does Richard D. = downix
or another developer?

[tonyyeb]

So am I missing something or has the big news not been announced yet?  :-?

I won't do a news announcement till the bounty's script is fixed ("open" flag is suppost to be "assigned" flag) sometime today. For those who want to know who Richard D. is. :devildance:

Will we get a list of what features Richard D. will do? Seems like everybody is reading something else into the Bounty description...

Does/will it need an "official" eg. OS 3.x version to run 68k apps and does it have custom chip emulation?

Will it be compatible with games that are started from WB or through WHDLoad? Time to play UFO Enemy Unknown again... :-D

Until someone does the two kickstart bounties, you will need Cloanto's AF cd for OS/kickstart.

Will the 'official' announcement be today?

Will the 'official' announcement be today?

News submitted to AO and AE as well as Moo.  So it's a question of when the respective Admins approve the story and publish it.

So, what's the status on this one?  :-)

[monami]

how much money would be needed by an ex community member coder to be interested? i wonder if any ex amiga coders who've jumped ship and doing nothing could be contacted?
