- -> "Short" Doc for Speed Load V1.2 <-
- ( pliz read it ... )
-
-
-
- 0. Note :
-
-
- If your screen is filled with sTrAnGe C O L O U R S , don't be afraid :
-
- => press the right mouse button and they will disappear !!!!
-
- This is done by SpeedLoad to show you that you have done something
- wrong ( a wrong path, modified something you shouldn't ... :-))
- and it allows you to check on what is wrong in order to make it work .
-
-
- 1. Lega! :
-
-
- You can't shift the responsibilty on me if your sytem is burst by
- SpeedLoad, even if it's quite impossible ... (??)
- You can't ask money for this, but if you manage to become rich with
- this, ask as much money as you can :-)
- But if YOU PAY for this, it clearly shows you're a SUCKER ( hé hé ) .
-
- SpeedLoad is (c) '95 TMG D-Zin .
-
-
- 2. H!story / ehh What's new ????? :
-
- - SpeedLoad 1.0 : first release
- 992 bytes
- a few bugs in it ;-(
-
- - SpeedLoad 1.1 : internal release
- 15xx bytes
- bugs were removed ( Psygore Hehe 8-) )
- unloadseg toughh !!!
-
- - SpeedLoad 1.2 : second release
- 1600 bytes
- now YOU can configure lots of things
- YOU can select up to 2 progs
- YOU can use space in your path name
- YOU needn't use quotes ("")
-
-
- 3. Purpose / What's this ?????
-
-
- Sometimes, while booting my Amiga (on HD) I was quite impatient,
- and I wished I launched the prog I most used ; But I had to wait
- until it has finished its boot & then I could only select the prog .
-
- As a result, I decided to make a prog that would make me able to
- select it (or not) without losing too much time ...
-
- That's to say, if I keep pressure (while the WBStartup is executed)
- on a key, or on the Joystick button or on a mouse button, my prog
- will be launched after having executed the "normal start".
-
- And if I do "nothing", the "normal start" will be executed .
-
-
- 4. Installation : ( I hope it's easy ... )
-
-
- - First, you must copy SpeedLoad and its Icon in your WBStartup
-
- - Edit the ToolType (of the Icon .!.)
-
- * you need to choose 2 keys among the following :
-
- HELP <=> the help key
- DEL <=> the delete key
- ESC <=> the escape key
- SPACE <=> the space bar
- LALT <=> the left alt
- RALT <=> the right alt
- LAM <=> the left amiga command ( the bold one )
- RAM <=> the right amiga command
-
- RMB <=> the right mouse button
-
-
- * now you must type them in the tooltypes, where KEY1 and KEY2
- are written ( important : in CAPITAL letters )
-
- example:
-
- KEY1=RAM
- KEY2=RALT
-
-
- * you also need to choose 1 or 2 prog(s) you want to launch at
- start and type in the lines 3 and 4 of the tooltypes
-
- No quotes are needed ( no "" ) in the names, even if there are
- spaces .
-
- - you use 2 progs : type their path+names
-
- example:
-
- hd2:Disk Tools/Managers/Disk Master 1.3
- c:ResetAsk
-
- - you use 1 prog : type its path+name and type ID in the
- next line ( ID <=> idem, identical )
-
- example:
-
- hd2:Disk Tools/Managers/Disk Master 1.3
- ID
-
-
- * line 5 shouldn't be modified ( SpeedLoad by TMG :-)
-
-
- * line 6 is the start priority of SpeedLoad
-
- StartPri=x -127 < x < 127
-
- The lower it is, the later SpeedLoad will be executed in
- the WB StartUp .
-
- I suggest you use -1, but if you notice it's loading too
- hard at start ( the Amiga is "struggling" ) feel free to
- change it .
-
-
- * That's all !!!
-
-
-
- 5. How to activate SpeedLoad ?????? Good question, isn't it :-O
-
-
- In the tooltypes of the icon, you should have something like
- this : ( this is an EXAMPLE )
-
- ----- KEY1=DEL
- | KEY2=HELP -------------------------
- ----> Hd1:Tools/DiskMaster |
- Hd2:Tools/Asm/Master Seka <---------
- SpeedLoad by TMG
- StartPri=-1
-
-
- After a reset, if you only sit before your Amiga, nothing will
- happen : it will (HD) boot as usual and the WB will appear .
- Then you can load whatever you like .
-
- But, after a reset, after having installed SpeedLoad like in
- the example, if you keep pressure on the HELP key while it is
- booting, the Amiga will load Master Seka, after finishing it's
- boot . If you keep pressure on the DEL key ( on your keyboard !! )
- it will load DiskMaster .
-
- Nice, isn't it ????
-
- You noticed - the first key was linked with the first prog
- ( here : DEL is linked with DiskMaster )
-
- - the second key ( HELP ) was linked with the
- second prog ( here : Master Seka )
-
-
- ( if you only use one prog and have typed ID, the two keys will
- launch the same prog ... not really useful but ... )
-
-
- But there are built-in keys too :
- while booting, if you keep pressure on the :
-
- -> Left Mouse Button
- or -> Joystick Button
-
- the first prog will be launched ( here : DiskMaster )
-
- if you keep pressure on the Back Space key or on the
- Arrow Up ( beneath DEL & HELP ... ) the Amiga will launch
- both DiskMaster and Master Seka !!!!!!!!!
-
-
-
- 6. Sniff, it doesn't work, but I made all what you told me :
-
- ----------------- Don't cry !!! ------------------
-
- I think you have misspelled the path or the name of your prog in
- the ToolTypes .
-
- Besides, you should check if you haven't let any useless Space
- next to what you typed ( example: "HELP " here a space is fucking
- up your config !!! )
-
- Check : you needN'T quotes ("")
- you typed the key names exactly the way I designed it :
- that's to say in CAPITAL letters
-
-
- If a coloured thing appears on your screen, don't be afraid, press
- ze right mouse button : you have done something wrong with SpeedLoad ;
- so check on what ( 2 same keys ??? no ??? really ??? )
-
- ( or your prog can't be launched from a CLI ... )
-
- If you wanna test it without rebooting each time, I suggest you
- click on SpeedLoad's Icon WHILE pressing the Key you wanna test or
- the Joystick Button . If It doesn't work here, it won't after
- booting . ;-(
-
-
-
- 7. I m p o r t a n t : (Really)
-
-
- SpeedLoad is NOT resident : after the Amiga having loaded the WB
- SpeedLoad is NO MORE active and has been trashed from your system .
- ( so the keys are NOT Hot-Keys and NOT allocated by SpeedLoad )
-
- When I say "keep pressure", I mean you should put your finger on
- the key when the WB is loading, when the Am!ga is executing the
- WB Startup and keep it a few seconds, enough to enable SpeedLoad to
- notice you want to activate it ...
-
-
-
- 8. Requirements :
-
-
- KS 4.0+
- 6 M of Chip and at least 8 M of FastMem
- 68060+
- MMU is required if you want to use the keyboard .
-
- Sorry ... No ... :-) Stop Joking ...
-
- SpeedLoad should work on all Amigas . ( KS 1.2 -> 3.1+ )
-
- But I suggest you have a HD either it's useless .
- MagicWB palette is adviced ( if you want the icons to look nice ) .
-
-
-
- 9. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ......
-
-
- Coded 100% in ASM
- Try it !!
- Love it !!
-
- May the FORCE be with U .
