I just love what you have done here.....If you ever consider a installable launcher package or a menued dvd give me a shout....I reckon it would be fantastic

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Would be cool I guess, yeah. Unfortunately, we've got "only" ~1.4GB of EXEcs. 

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Hello synchro.
Sure, if you want to - show us your concept.
Up to this day there are 150 of EXEcs, which take ~1.4GB. That's not enough to fill the whole DVD but a good number I guess...

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Let me do a demo for you then go from there...Thats a respectable size for a first release to be honest....i can expand it for you as you make new ones.... 

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Sounds cool as long as it doesn't show up on ebay :(

Actually thats more unlikely than what you think if it looks professional....Your more likly to find people selling an Amiga DVD full of games to be honest.

Hi Anthrox
This concept demo may be ready to try tomorrow....Only putting a dozen or so games on for a second in case you dont like it....Can i put a link here to download so you can get feedback or would you rather a private link to try youself first

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Put link in this topic 

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Ok Np 
I dont suppose you have done a workbench exe at all have you
Again i could make it run from the menu as well ...The Company Custom Workbench...

maybe the menu system on the dvd could look like workbench?
Re: An Idea for the future maybe
Ok heres something for you to try....This is just a small installer with only a couple of pages. The final product could be an installer or a runnable DVD....Or both
I used one of my own templates for the menu but redesigned it for The Company.
Menu design is really the hard part ..( and even then you may not like it ) From this point adding games ..a search engine to this menu is easy so havea go and see what you think.....I would love to continue with it

Feedback Appreciated

Using whats available it could get to 4 gig or so

I did chuck in a workbench as well though .
Re: An Idea for the future maybe
just downloaded and tested it out. nice layout, i see the menu screens are bitmaps, is there anyway to scan the games folder and let the menu generate the games list. This way the installer wouldn't need to be updated everytime news exe's come out?
also this would mean the installer could be downloaded without the games pre-packed.
PS nice website by the way.
PPS we'll have to think of a "company" icon for the installer, i have the joystick one on my iphone

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
ok, i'll take a look 

Re: An Idea for the future maybe
After selecting a game, there's a long pause when nothing happens and still we can click the button. A loading message of some sort, or some other indication would be nice here.
- exit doesn't work
- animations instead of static screens from games would be cool
Aside that, since none of us have any experience with creating DVD menus/compilations, I guess it's all in your hands

Really ...Anyone else had that problem...mine seems to work fine

Great Idea I will try it

Thanks for letting me continue.....Iv scrapped my Amiga one to do this cuz yours is better

Whilst testing on various systems i noticed Avast always wants to open Exe's in a sandbox....very annoying,
Have you had this issue before al all
