- Free from external library
- Scan from SysConfig & route the user if no database is found.
- F5 to refresh/sort your favorites items
- Covers directory is now settable.
- Covers on-demand (with the C key).
- Code optimisation.
3.2
- Classy Names improvement (manage ‘&’ this is cool for Bubble & Squeak for example).
- Some paths were hard coded for DH0: (issues at launch and scan).
- Scan from the root drawer is now possible.
- Scan works if you put all games at the root too (not in A/ B/ C/… directories).
- Jump is faster and you won’t notice anymore you are using TinyLauncher.
- Correction keys on Sysconfig.
- New font.
3.1
- Screenshots support (
Copy your IFF [all ECS Screens are supported] into S:TinyLauncher/Covers/
Files must be named this way:
NameOfTheSlave + _SCRx + .IFF
x is a number between 0 and 9
I recommend using:
0 for the Coverbox
1 for the TitleScreen
2,3,4 for the Ingame screens
…followed by posters
But then it’s up to you!
Example : BarbarianPalace_SCR0.IFF
Screen will cycles and loop after ~3 flash on the item. (~6 flash when you enter the browser)
As examples my BarbarianPsygnosis Sshots (coverbox, ingame, poster) you have seen on my YT video.
coming soon: ready2use screenshots.
)

This update concerns the RAD!
The RAD Disk isn't resident in memory anymore: It means that you won't have to shutdown the Amiga using the power supply to kill it anymore. There is no reasons for not using the RAD if you own a little amount of memory. This is a really nice feature.
-"B" to switch the scripts from HD to CD (Check Infodesk for its status).
-Sysconfig will accept CD0:Directory if DH0:Directory exist (So you can modify your path to CD0: before making your ISO).
How to make a compilation for the CD32 (for example).
1/Prepare your system on DH0: (Tinylauncher, kickstarts, whdload, etc and verify that everything is working)
2/Activate the RAD Disk ('R' key).
3/ Switch from "Boot:HD" to "Boot:CD" ('B' key, check the InfoDesk panel for the status)
4/ Change your paths to CD0:Directory (in the Sysconfig panel)
5/ Make you iso & burn it.

-"P" to switch from "320x200" to "320x256" for full screen on PAL computers.

(Don't need the library anymore, thanks PMC)

You can press "c" at any time to call the Sysconfig screen.
