It helps to use the -RTC switch, in the BATCH file when running the emulator for this program !
So you wont have to set the Date & Time !

List your games, and apps..... In the order you want, in the list of your favorites.
No more looking for that program.... no more shuffling through the directories... trying to find that game !

It's so easy now; Just edit and save the list that 'YOU' want to use and play....
It's a straight forward approach to this problem !

When you Add or or Change the order... it's self explanatory !! give it a go!!!! get organized with your programs !
When you Edit it... just type in the name and directory, like the other examples on the list..... too easy !
After you Edit the list... it will return back to the program where you left ~

It will be saved for the next time you use the X16 !!! COOL!
Which is the way, I would want to use it in front of my TV.....

load the slots and "PLAY"

I hope you will find it useful. You can actually "DEMONSTRATE" programs from your list ...



Let me know how you like it !!!

Best Regards

Just a note...
If its worth getting 'you' more organized.... then it's worth looking at......
If you dismiss it, then you'll miss out... I hope it surprises you how straight forward this is,
and even better if it's in AUTOBOOT.

Looks neat. And I think you could chain some menus together - for example, the first entry could be CATEGORIES of software (like puzzles, action, gamepad, apps, etc - that invoke different folders of PRGLOAD) and select the software within those categories.

One note - maybe options to work in 40 col mode, and remember about the edges being clipped for those using a classic CRT.

Maybe SPACEBAR can randomly select a title, let the Universe decide for you

Hi Voidstar Thankyou for taking the time to look at it !

Yes... I do want to add more ... I want to put "TOP 10 GAMES" you can put on the list...
Ummmmm......
But that wont be until after VCF... (I hoping there will be some releases)...
So I Will add changes to this; in a week or 2... maybe ??!

I guess I will have to make a 40 column mode *~!

And the space-bar thing sounds worth trying....
.................................................................................
In saying all this....
I like how "EDIT" can be executed...
Any1 can use the same Ideology; too open & close files, while being able to "EDIT" them; returning within the same program ..
It seems like a good combination !

Anyway... Thankyou
Best regards
Shaun

OK... I've done an updated "PRGLOAD"
* Ive put in "TOP 10 GAMES"
These are games "You" choose and are "Your" top 10
* Added animations
*Changed the menu around...

I still have to create a "40 COLUMN" mode, and I might do the random space-bar thing !

I was hopeing that ROMTERM was going to be in ROM R48
But I put it under a function key anyway....

Also I put FM (File Manager) under a function key... since its pretty much globally used now...
Ummm..
I hope it's not "Frowned Upon" that I put FM under a function key...
I'll remove it.... if any1 has problems with it being used ?
*************************************************************************************************************************************
Ummm....
OK re-editing this post....
I'm thinking about adding SUB-MENU'S in a "smart way"....
But it will have to wait a few weeks before I do more on this....

Best Regards; Shaun.
