Guess who's back... That's right, ME!

And I have a shiny new program!

I was initially planning on releasing this as part of NDF-UI but decided to release it early for you all to enjoy.

Usage & Prerequisites:

• Just download the automatic installer and you're done!
  
• If you already have a file called "startup" in your root directory the installer will automatically rename it to "startup.old"
  
• Requires Advanced Computers [CC1.4+]
  
• Requires HTTP-API Enabled

Features:

• Currently supports 2 OS's or any 2 programs you wish to launch
  
• Easy to read .conf file located in the .boot directory if you wish to force any changes to the bootloader
  
• Standard easy to use "bios" styled control panel to configure and set-up your OS booting
  
• 2 themes - "NDF-UI" and "CCI386" -- "list" theme coming soon
  
• Allows custom boot [tArgs] when using the CCI386 theme

Known Bugs:

• Slight graphical bug in the I386 theme when using [F] -- "Boot flags"-"[tArgs]"
  
• the [...] boxes in the bios don't update correctly
  
• Sometimes throws paintutils:16: attempt to index? (a nil value) error when exiting the bios

Screenshots:

Cool! Is awesome! But when I pressed Save & Exit I got this error:

paintutils:16: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Also, I suggest making it click-controlled.

Anyway,
Welcome back, NDFJay!

grrr it was all working before I uploaded it haha ill go and see where the error is, also its only the "bios" thats key controlled, I wanted to make the "bios" feel like a bios should, tried to keep it as close to the bios settings you will get on a normal computer when pressing [F2] at PoST

Thanks for welcoming me back

You don't have anything about credit's in the topic post. So, what kind of credit is accordingly enough for you?

Or, if you're on a Mac, its named "Delete". It's still two keys above the return (enter) key.

Is N-Boot+ on github?

Why it's N-Boot+?
This is the "BIOS" I'm right?

It doesn't replace the "bios.lua", but adds functionality to the computer once the bios has been processed.
You can think of it kind of like a boot loader instead, like LILO or GRUB.
