Lemonade: Public Beta 0.9.8

[Robert Gardiner]

Thanks for the suggestions guys I'll add these to the to do list in a sec.

WOOW

What a magnificent piece of software! I am truly impressed! No more fine tuning of WinUAE.
And the design fits the Lemon amiga site..

But I have a RAM problem when I try to play scorched tanks. In the game intro it says that the game wads designed for 1 meg of memory. It seems like the game it pre-configured to have one meg of RAM, but still the game complains. Any ideas?

And then just a little suggestion: it could be nice if Lemonade could launch WinUAE safestates.

A really great frontend!

It could be good if we can browse all the games that have review or all the games that have soundtrack etc.
When the user is browsing fast the games, not only the images must not be updated but also the add to favourites button because it disappear some times. It would be good if everything is not updated until the user stop in a game

Just a quick thought... Not sure whether its been mentioned before though but, a nice option to have, especially for novices trying to use Lemonade would be to have a calibrate joystick/pad button, similar to Mame etc, where it would ask you to physically press the button on the controller that you want mapped to each selection. Being as there were a few pretty standard controller types used in the Amiga's history, i.e 1 button joystick/pad, 2 button joystick/pad, CD32 controller. You could display a picture of each controller type on the screen and then highlight each button and axis in sequence asking for the user to press their desired button in return. This would be much easier for novices, rather then them try and understand the slightly daunting controller configuration process in winuae.

I would also like to see: On the Emulation Quickstart, for the amiga 600,1200 and cd32 the images to be replaced with gif images, so we can see the disk entered in the drive for example on the amiga 1200. Am i asking too much? yes always, amiga must be emulated perfect, nothing less

Also, do you think you could add a tea/coffee button? Sometimes I get really thirsty whilst playing games...

Just kidding

i think that the game "Oh no more lemmings" must be renamed to "Lemmings: Oh no more lemmings"
Also some games like turrican the turrican 2 is named turrican 2 and the 3 is turrican III.
What about if for every game that has been reviewed to see the overall rank in the lemonade?
Are we going to see more games in future releases? amiga games i think are about 6000.
Can we use lemonade directly from a dvd? this would be very nice. and every settings that have to be saved, must use a temporary file. All the amiga games with only one click and not even installed

Kodoichi this is not an excuse. 70% of the users that don't use their computer very much in the internet us 800x600 and they dont like 1024x768. and as long as 15' and 17'' monitors exist this will never going to change.
When i click on the most played text i get a message that i have to play a game at least 5 times in order to get in the most plkayed list, but in the beggining of the lemonade in the tips of the day, a tip say that you have to play a game 10 or more times. which is correct 5 or 10?
I would like to set also the startup location when im running lemonade (favourite games, playable, last opened category etc.)
What about adding the game to favourites when we press the space on the game explorer?

Couple more suggestions (hope all of our suggestions aren't too much for you Robert )

- How about the ability to type the first few letters of a game name to take us to that game? ie. At the moment if I'm looking for Street Fighter, I can't for example type s-t-r-e-e and see it go there. Instead I'll end up on the first game that starts with the letter e. Gamebase and MAME both do it, so this should too
- How about adding a recently viewed list? I tend to randomly click through games at a fast pace. Due to this, I may see a game that I think looks great, but because I've already clicked past it, I'd have no idea what it was. A "recent" list would help me identify, lets say the past 10 games.
- How about saving the last viewed game for a particular category? ok. More explanation required. I'm going through "All Games" and I stop at 'Colorado'. I decide to flip to my "Favourite Games". When I flip back to "All Games", I'm back at the top game on the list. I want to be on 'Colorado'!

They're purely cosmetic types of changes, but I'd love to see them if possible.
