V2.1 has now been downloaded as many times as V2.0 was downloaded (33 times), but it took less that half of the time to come up to that. (4 downloads a day).
Total number of downloads is 177. Total number of money donations: 4. Total amount of money donated: $45. Thanks again to the donors!

Your program is very useful, I hope you will add support for tap files too.

After playing with Boray's 2.1, I tweaked this
VICE run command-line version for Linux to integrate dialog prompts (using zenity) and, if applicable, with floppy disk inspection (using c1541). For example, you might launch a binary which resolves to more than 1 possible match (i.e., PET or VIC 20 with +3k memory), you will get prompted like:
For floppy images:
Code: Select all
$ run vic20.d64
**** Commodore VIC 20 disk archive ****
xvic -autostart "vic20.d64":goleft > /dev/null
READY.
And finally:
Code: Select all
$ run mega-cart.rom
**** Commodore VIC 20 with Mega-Cart ****
xvic -mcnvramfile mega-cart.nv -mcnvramwriteback -cartmega "mega-cart.rom" > /dev/null
READY.
... and other such binaries that its AI can figure out completely will launch without any user intervention.
Code: Select all
$ run quikman+8k.prg
**** Commodore VIC 20 ML program with 8kb memory expansion ****
xvic -memory all "quikman+8k.prg" > /dev/null
READY.

Great selection!
That reminds me. I haven't posted some of those games here yet. I'll do that now.

Robert, Did you improve on your version for the fun of it or do you feel there is something missing in my version?

Thank you very much for TAP support.
There is a way to autostart them after LOAD without type RUN ?
I guess it's a VICE question but there is a parameter to auto RUN TAP files like PRG/D64 images ?

Most of them autostarts to my experience but you have to type RUN on some of them.

V2.3 With improved Tap support:

The contents of taps are now read and analysed. You can also save out prg and seq files from taps! Probably the fastest tap->prg conversion tool around. It's a matter of milliseconds...
