Reboot-Start
2000 By Aldo Bianchi
VERSION 4.1
FINAL VERSION !!!!!!!!
*** INTRODUCTION:
This is a shell-script that run any game rebooting your computer..
Examples...games that needs 2Mb of free chip-memory like Capital punishment Wendetta etc
games that dont like run from workbench ...
games that dont like run with best chipset option like monkey island 1 & 2
games that dont like 040/060 caches activated
games that dont like your CyberGraphX or P96 driver
*** REQUERIMENTS
1:WORKBENCH 3.0+ (correctly installed)
(this scripts works fine in all configs and cpus 020,030,040,060)
(also PowerPC-cards)
(UAE not tested)
2:1Mb fast memory
***LAST CHANGES IN VERSION 4.1
-added an alternate-startup-sequence for those stranges games
-added more examples
*** NEW V4 FEATURES
-you can change the path of the dir of your game and REBOOT-START run without problems !
-Simplify the scripts..only put the name of the executable of the game..!!
-You can force the game tu run in PAL or NTSC...see REBOOT-START script
-You can degrade your system if needed...see REBOOT-START script.
-full Amiga-DOS friendly.
-if you have a CD-Writer you can copy any game to a cd and run it directly
-no requesters or bad assigns like other programs
-Reboot-Start not remove your rom3.1 mapped in fast memory or residents like Idefix
-FREEWARE !
*** INSTALLATION (by hand)
1 copy clicknot,getpath,reset,bootcontrol,remrad => to your c directory...IMPORTANT..!!!
2 copy rad1 and rad1.info => to your SYS/Storage/DOSDriver/s....REAL IMPORTANT..!!
3 copy ramdrive.devce to your devs directory
4 copy REBOOT-START and REBOOT-START.info => to the dir of your game..
5 copy supplied STARTUP-SEQUENCE => to the dir of your game ..
6 edit STARTUP-SEQUENCE and put the name of the executable of your game in the correct
place...!!
7 * you can edit REBOOT-START script too to change Bootcontrol's options
(*) Optional :with Boot-Control you can force any game to run in PAL or NTSC or
force to run with OLD and ECS chipset...see Reboot-Start-script
DEFAULT:PAL & BEST chipset
*** USAGE
After you procced with INSTALLATION steps..
Go to the dir of your game and doubleclick REBOOTSTART...Thats all...!!!!
*** PROBLEMS
If you have a game that dont work or after reboot you see a stupid requester that
say "INSERT RAM0 IN ANY DRIVE" ..you must edit the supplied alternate-startp-sequence
"ALTERNATE-STARTUP-SEQUENCE"..put the game-executable in the correct place and rename it as
"STARTUP-SEQUENCE"
Then copy to the dir of your game..
Thats all
PLEASE NOTE that the Alternate-startup-sequence is a bit diferent from the common:
1:your Amiga will reset twice
2:all residents will be lost even your mapped rom3.1
***EXPERT-USAGE
if you have a cd-writer (I have one) you can copy any game to a CD and run from WB
there's a supplied file named "mountcdrom" => edit it and copy to devs..
this file will mount your CDROM after your miggy reboot
My "mountcdrom" file only says: Mount CD1:
if you have problems or questions...mail-me
