I'll pay anything you want if you'll create Launchbox for C64! I want it! NOW! The price would be shipping me a working Commodore 64 in good condition.

Do you think it will be the right price? If you know how to handle the different electric voltage, maybe it's time to find it for you! And, although I don't collect home computers, here in Italy it's easy enough to find one in good or better condition. I have one C64 and one C64C modified with JiffyDOS, so next one, if you want, can be yours! P.S. I don't collect home computers and I say that I have 2 C64: it seems strange but I collect only consoles but some computers from my childhood is not collectiong, it's nostalgic! Soon you'll enjoy my collection in a private exposition, so stay tuned! Edited January 20, 2017 by dukeemu Note 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I know folks had Commodore 64s in the US, but honestly I know nothing about them. I'm sure there's a version of BASIC for them, though; it'd be fun to play with. But yeah, as long as you don't mind me taking a while to figure things out and get it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added a bunch of features (and one fix) this past weekend and things seem to be working well enough. Here's the change log: - New "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" options are available under the Edit menu - New "Insert Separator" option available under the Edit menu - Each application can now have a separate set of commands for configuring the application - New explicit "Run Selected" and "Configure Selected" options are available under the File menu - New "Browse and Run" option is available under the File menu - New "Lock" option is available under the File menu to help prevent accidental changes - Changed the batch file process to better support DOSBox and older versions of MS-DOS I updated the download link in the main post, and here it is again: http://bit.ly/LBXDOS11 Happy MS-DOS. Thanks for your Insanity!! Great work again Jason Now we need a LB BBS for DOS community 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walter10h Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Went ahead and made a theme based on this and a little Sound pack to go with it. Hope you don't mind Jason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take all the time in the world! 3 days I think it will be enough (Basic on C64 is from Microsoft, so you're well acquainted with that)! And 1 more day to get the BBS up and running as requested by @Lmagnus87, because Internet on C64 is a must (at 300 or 1200 baud!) P.S. Re-using the word BAUD in 2017... incredible!

Lmagnus87 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Just for fun I Added some games from other platforms using old emulators for DOS such as... no$GB, Nesticle, Genecyst, MAME, Stella, VICE, zSNES,.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeemu Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Genecyst? I remember it! With menus with blood stains dropping! And great Genesis emulator too! I don't remember the authors, they were some of the best in last "century", and they came out with Callus too! Another great arcade emulator (CPS1 if I remember...). Great memories of pure innocent emulation in its early years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 So cool @Lmagnus87! I totally remember some of those emulators too. The funny thing is some of them did emulation better than modern ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how much work must be going into porting it to DOS. Windows 95/98/2000 is probably relatively easy, but DOS. Wow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilkuz2005 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hey, I just wanted to say that I have been using this frontend for my dos games and programs for a few years now and I love it. boot up dos, type lb and press enter and my launchbox app loads and from there I can just click any game I want to play or adjust the settings, pretty quick. I would like to know if there is a way to adjust the colors of the program, changing the background color and text would be awesome. Oh and I still to this day never found any Easter eggs. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
