All files you will need to modify are in the "Black Hammer" directory, including where you will want to copy the ROM file.

I am looking for information on any errors that are displayed etc.

The Sourceforge.net download link is still the same for all versions. The actual files have been updated as of when this was posted.

Does your installer (which I hope to try next week when I will be able to bring back file from internet at home) install some environment variables in windows to point to the location of the emulators ?

It would be great if someone want to make another BII launcher.

Enviroment Tables

Post by The Balance Of Judgement »

With the current development software I use for making installers (Wise Solutions 9) creating such a Enviroment Table is beyond my knowledge.

However, I did include Haxial Launcher which the user can setup to launch a variety of Applications.

I am hoping today to sit down and go over the manula for this product and maybe figure out how to do some neat things that I know the installer could use. Some of the things I am looking at:

- Being able to identify the OS platform and install Ethernet drivers for the user
- Squish that bug that prevents BasiliskII.exe from launching on it's own (when BasiliskII.exe runs it assumes the location of where it was called is it's base, so in the case of the start menu, it thinks that's it's root and it will generate errors since the start menu has no Preferences file etc.)
- Create shortcuts to various folders a person may want access to (like the shortcut Kazaa uses for your shared folder)

What about, then, putting .bat files in a common place (e.g. C:\) wild would launch BII and JITBII ?

BasiliskII.bat
JITBasiliskII.bat

Fixed!

Post by The Balance Of Judgement »

I finally fixed the long standing error that I have been upset about.

Now all I have to do is customize this a bit. ;-)

There are some minor updates that will be released, I'm learning how to make updates to this rather than the full installer for those who don't want to download the whole thing again.

Updates

Post by The Balance Of Judgement »

So people know the installer has been updated.

If you're not the kind of person who enjoys constantly downloading 12mb installers, you might want to wait for a bit, I am busy doing updates, so every few days I am solving problems etc.

So there are lots of updates and i have not figured out hoe to use the update clients yet. :?
