I'm well chuffed. I have created a very simple yet completely automatically-populating disk image menu for the #BBCMicro. It doesn't require ANY user configuration, as long as the disk image is named. It will allow up to 180 disks to be chosen from.
The program actually reboots the Beeb before loading+running the disk image's primary file.
I will probably release this on my itchio page once more testing is done.
Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:
* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings
Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:
* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM
Thanks.
