OS 2.0> only !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *******************************************************************************) Some games seem not to run when started from a gfx-board Workbench. But often they run. Only the automatic screen-switcher doesn`t recognize that there is a AMIGA-display... NativeDisplay solves this Problem. Use a batch to start the game : ---------------------------------cut here------------------ ; Example RUN NativeScreen ; Runs NativeScreen which opens a little screen MegaGame ; start game RUN NativeScreen ; This causes NativeScreen to close the screen ---------------------------------cut here------------------ You can use the games icon if you change the icon into a PROJECT-Icon (e.g with IconEd), save it as StartGame, apply C:IconX as Default Tool, make a batch like the one above and save it as StartGame. Now when you double-klick the StartGame-Icon IconX executes the batch and starts your game... Tested with enforcer, on A4000/40/EGSSpectrum and A2000/30/Picasso II MfG Carsten. ============ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 4852 1950 59.8% 22-Nov-94 22:23:02 NativeScreen.mod 2372 1684 29.0% 22-Nov-94 22:23:40 NativeScreen 1755 798 54.5% 22-Nov-94 22:18:38 NativeScreen.DOC 1758 800 54.4% 22-Nov-94 22:32:04 NativeScreen.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 10737 5232 51.2% 02-Feb-95 18:44:26 4 files
