I thought I would pin some favourite games to the pinboard to save time navigating to specific game dirs on boot. I don't use any sort of boot sequence, but for ADFFS I have created a !ADFFSRun dir on my main hard drive so that ADFFS auto runs when I click on the drive icon. !ADFFSRun.!Boot looks like this:
I also have a !Boot dir on the same drive, and the first line of its !Boot file is "Run <Obey$Dir>.Pinboard". However, some games don't seem to like this, e.g. Spheres of Chaos (!Chaos on the pinboard). When I click the drive icon, I get this error:
If I rename !Chaos.!Boot to !Boot_ this issue doesn't occur. Any idea what is happening here?

It's possibly where you're using Filer_Run. Try dropping the Filer_Run from the line that runs !ADFFS.

You can delete !Chaos.!Boot, it won't affect running the game. The same goes for most games. If !Boot only contains IconSprites and a Set, it's not required. The ADFFS boot scripts all implement anything contained in a games !Boot, to allow them to run from pinned shortcuts without the !App directory being seen by the OS.

When !ADFFS is run it won't return so ensure it's the last line in your Obey script. I would also run the version of VProtect that comes bundled with ADFFS as I've fixed several major bugs (!ADFFS.3rdParty.VProtect).

I changed the Filer_Run line to just "Run" and it seems to have fixed the issue. Might just be my imagination, but doing this seems to very slightly increase the amount of time it takes ADFFS to load.
