Tempest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 One of the nice things my Falcon has installed on it is something called XBoot III. Unfortunately I have no idea what many of the options do. Can any Flacon-heads out there help me out? The guy I got this from apperently did alot of graphics and 3D modeling, so I assume alot of this stuff is related to that. PRG Menu ------------ BlowBoot - Boot sequence for the blowup device? I tried it with the blowup on and the monitor went wiggy. DESKPIC EXTENDDOS - Extended Dos? FOLDR600 FPATCH1 FPATCH2 GENEVA JAR10 JAR30 JPEGD MINTNP -MiNt OS? NEOLOAD - Neo Desk? POWERDOS RESETNVR - Reset the NVR data? What is stored in the NVR? ROMSPEED SAM Silkmous - A mouse program? SLNTLINE SPDGDOS STFAXMGR TOS4_FIX WINX XBOOT - Xboot3 program I assume.

krupkaj Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 XBoot is boot selector. You can choose which auto start apps will start, which accessories will be loaded, which CPX will be activated. It is also possible to change config files (desktop, mint, ...) It is possible to make sets of all above Typically you need another combination of programs for MiNT and for Backward emulator. With XBoot is easy to maintain the start of the computer. I remember that I had little manual for XBoot, but I am not sure where it is. I try to find it.
