CrunchyOS v0.6 Released
Posted by Michael on 9 December 2004, 18:42 GMT

[CrunchyOS]Dan Weiss has released v0.6 of his 83+ flash application shell CrunchyOS. New in this version is the CrunchyOS Builder which allows ASM programs to be packed into the app, thus saving space. Compatibility with MirageOS programs is also improved.

The only thing this shell lacks so far is Options. I like the lowercase enable and other stuff that MirageOS has, especially the On-Apps hook. But this is only version 0.6 so its pretty good so far. I guess ill just have to wait until the Options are added...

Yes, the options are still missing. The MOS options like lowercase, password, block the memory menu and of course Save the whales are options I miss in CrOS. And (un)archiving, (un)locking, (un)hiding and deleting is missing in CrOS, and those are the second in my list of requirements for a good shell.

List of requirements:
1st: a program toggling list
2nd: (un)archiving, deleting
3rd: (un)locking, (un)hiding
4th: no unarchiving but directly streaming from the Flash memory
5th: several options and key hooks
6th: RAM/ROM amount
7th: nice program manager

Perhaps some functions (like 2, 3, 4) of those will be in CrOS 0.7?
And number 5 and 6 in 0.8?

It already streams everything directly from flash memory.

I know, and that's the great, fantastic, marvellous PLUS of CrOS

This is a decent shell. Iwould use it more, but only 5 of 20 or so ION games show up, someone know why this happens

Maybe incorrect headers (I'm not an ASM expert...). I tried to build in Acelgoyobis (Pinball), but it never appeared in CrOS. The space of Acelgoyobis was certainly wasted.
