-
- SwitchBoard is a GUI front end for currently 3 emulators. It supports
- AmigavGB, DarkNESs, and MasterGear allowing you to easily choose roms for
- them and launch each of them from a comfortable GUI.
-
- Its freeware/cardware so is not expensive etc. Look at the docs for more
- information regarding this fine example of programming. =)
-
- New in this version is a prefs editor and many bug fixes.
-
- History :
-
- V0.08ß (6/7/97)
-
- Internal only.
-
- . Okay I've added the Prefs GUI to the main executable.
-
- . Prefs can now be read from a requester.
-
- . Prefs can be saved to default "swbrd.prefs". No requester used.
-
- . All Menu options work, now using same code as GTgadgets (Almost).
-
- . Cleaned up code to use less If/End If conditions.
-
- . Removed bug that had been in code for quite some time !
-
- . This is also the first version that caused a GURU on my machine. I was
- freeing up windows that I hadn't opened. =)
-
- . Fixed above mentioned bug. Luckily I save the source before each
- compile!
-
- . Each emulator can be set in the prefs GUI, no more making your own prefs
- file. It is automatically set to the main code too.
-
- . Removed 3 enforcer hits ! See even Blitz2 code can have enforcer hits.
- I was setting data to gadgets that did not exist. Not a smart thing to
- do.
-
- . Prefs window now opens if there is no preferences set, forcing a person
- to edit their prefs before continuing !
-
- . Fixed one or two more bugs. I stuffed the saving of the prefs file in
- one section. It would save a blank file ! (10/7/97)
-
- . Removed some redundant code that was left from an old version. (10/7/97)
-
- . Now ready for Beta test again.........
-
-
-
- V0.09ß (15/7/97)
-
- Internal Only.
-
- . Damn found some bugs =(
-
- . The cycle gadget can get screwy and select the wrong thing, my fault.
- Fixed now. Just moved a variable to a later stage in program, it then
- does not get reset when jumping from the prefs GUI !
-
- . Thanks to Paul Morabito for telling me about the "ram disk:" bug. Damn
- thing. I've changed the default dir to ram: in the mean time.
-
- . Managed to <I think> fix a problem with Blitz 2 and may have most of
- troubles sorted out ! Means development time will speed up slightly.
- Well I believe I was wrong. It still keeps crashing !!!! <Blitz 2, NOT
- SwitchBoard>
-
- . Updated the copyright information, it now includes "Cougar Development"
- which is what I am going to call the name of the team that does the
- software. This will include the beta testers =) Arent I nice ?
-
- . Fixed a silly bug that meant if you just set the string gadgets in the
- prefs GUI and quit that then those settings were NOT copied to the main
- part of the program...
-
- . Added a check for OS < 2.0 and the prog then puts up a requester and
- quits. I have not tested this as I could not be bothered setting up a
- KS1.3 disk and softkicking into 1.3... Anyone ?!
-
-
- V0.10ß (19/7/97)
-
- Internal Only
-
- . Small bug fixes. Nothing too drastic.
-
- . Cleaned up some code.
-
- . Made exiting safer by not letting Blitz handle it all.
-
- . May have problem with Blitz2 sorted out. I believe it's the debug module
- that causes all the problems. Just don't use it ! Better write non
- buggy code Huh ?! =) <For those who want to know it has a lot of
- enforcer hits which I believe are causing the problem>.<Nope I was wrong
- still crashes :-/ >
-
- . Launch window now closes when editing prefs.
-
- . Started work on the Game Genie cheat requester for AmigaVGB. This will
- be in the next version !
-
- . Fixed a possible problem with the OS 1.3 checking. Still have not tested
- it yet. I was calling a wrong Requester routine.
-
- . Started work on another project called Y.A.P.C. Wait for this one !
-
- V0.10P (24/7/97)
-
- Second Public Release
-
- . Cleaned up a number of bugs in the Prefs section of the program. I was
- doing some silly things there, causing all sorts of problems.
-
- . Rewrote a chunk of the prefs editor code. Damn bugs.
-
- . Tested enough & now works satisfactorily. Yay !
-
- . Uploaded to Aminet again.
