Re: MessApple, Or, The Return Of Apple2E For the VIP!
Okay, it seems we need a new launcher. I've had several people complain about the long command line, or just plain not be able to understand it without a lot of help. Here's what I invision this launcher being like.
It should use standard Windows dialogs, so as to be usable with any screen reader or even by a sighted person. For this reason, it won't need to use a SAPI voice.
It should allow for the selection of disk images for floppy drives 1 and 2, as well as a save state for situations where you need to switch disks and restore from a save state.
It should allow for easy navigation of file lists by letter or digit where appropriate, rather than having to arrow around.
I invision something like one dialog with five buttons. One selects the image for drive one, another for drive two, a third for the save state, a Go! button, and a Quit button. For the selection dialogs for images/save states, use standard Windows file open dialogs, since the y already do everything we need. Put it in the disks or sta\apple2ee folder, as appropriate. All file selections should default to no file in that slot, I.E. it shouldn't remember your selections from last time. Given all your selections, the Go! button would construct a command to run the emulator, and launch it. Would anyone be willing to take on this task?
What do you think?
