USB Disk Ejector - 1.2 Beta


h1 Sunday, August 31st, 2008

I’ve had very little time to work on USB Disk Ejector lately. I’m still continuing to work on it when I get chance, I am aware though, that its been a while since the last release. With that in mind I’m releasing a beta of the next version (1.2). Its not feature-complete and there are still unfinished bits but it should be usable until I am able to make a proper release.

Please remember that this is a beta version - not everything will work correctly. It will also only be posted here - not on the software page.

New in this version:

  • Options dialog added - options can now be set and saved. Click on ‘more’ then ‘options’ to show it.
  • Added options to:
    • Start the program minimized
    • Remember the last size of the program window
    • Remember the last position of the program window
    • Enable/disable balloon notifications
    • Close to the system tray
    • Minimize to the system tray
    • Enable/disable eject notifications
    • Use the standard windows eject notifications
    • Close the program after a successful ejection
    • Minimize the program after a successful ejection
    • Control the adding and management of hotkeys
  • Hotkey support. Not yet fully implemented.
  • Added popup menu to system tray icon.
  • Added an ‘about’ form.
  • Firewire devices can be ejected via the command line switches - I still need to add settings to enable/disable this in the GUI.
  • Added ‘NOSAVE’ command line switch - when used the program will not save settings to a file and will ignore any existing settings file.

Download the beta version.

Read the readme.

Please report bugs in the comments, some (such as the incomplete hotkey support) are known, but there are bound to be others.

Telltale Music Extractor and Speech Extractor - both updated


h1 Thursday, August 28th, 2008

I’ve just released new versions of the Telltale Music Extractor and Telltale Speech Extractor. In both tools, support has been added for Sam and Max Season 2 and Strong Bad games.

The speech extractor has had a number of bugfixes: its decoding problems are now fixed, so all voices should sound just as they do ingame, annotations have been added for all games and the annotations for Sam and Max Season 1 and CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder are now 100% complete. Many thanks to Aeon for completing the Sam and Max annotations.

[Edit - Telltale Music Extractor has been updated again to fix a problem with the music in Sam and Max: Whats New Beelzebub. Please download the new version if you are having problems]

Grim and EMI DVD Setup Programs


h1 Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Hoanzl has taken the source for my Grim Fandango and Escape From Monkey Island installers and used them to make DVD installers for the games. This means that you can build your own Grim or EMI DVD and keep your originals in a safe place. You also get the benefits of my original installers (install under 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows, uses my launcher program).

Remember I did not create these, so do not contact me about any problems. You can post in the comments though and I’m sure he’ll address any problems you have.

You can get both installers here.
