Billiards and Powerrun Problem

[Mei Mei]

hardware: NZ90
128 mb MS

software:
powerrun 1.2
billiards 4.12


billiards is loaded on the ms via powerrun.

when exiting billiards via 'home' button, it reverts to powerrun. when exiting billiards via 'back' button, it goes back to launcher menu.

anyone else have this problem??

I have noticed this same problem when I exit certain programs that were moved to MS with powerrun. It only seems to happen with certain programs. It was never really a big deal to me, but since you mentioned it, i thought i'd throw my 2 cents in. haven't found a solution yet.

Seems to happen in other situations too. I've noticed when running the Graffiti program from ZLauncher, after exiting it goes to the default launcher, not ZLauncher.

Why do you need PowerRun to load Billiards? I run it from the Palm Launcher folder just fine. Use PowerRun with apps that really need it. Using some apps with PowerRun can actually use up more memory. Additionally using PowerRun requires at leasy twice the RAM to run, according to the developer.

It looks like Megasoft was trying to give a hint too :).

I was going to say the same thing as Billiards does not need PowerRun:) Though I have seen this happen.

I agree, most apps that can be run from the launcher directory also seem to load significantly faster than with PowerRun, at least on OS4 machines. Main use for PowerRun is apps that have large editable DBs that take up lots of RAM or apps that need to hotsync. There are even better solutions for apps with large read only DBs (MSMount or PiDirect). By the way, MSMount and PowerRun do coexist peacefully (probably PiDirect and PR also, just don't have personal experience with that setup).

When I put a file like billiards in the launcher directory, where can I find it if Im running Zlauncher?

Dropdown menu/Options/Refresh apps. Then look in ZL again as it should show now:)
