Phoenix Fastload Advanced 2 - get your Jukebox now!

Let me call Phoenix Fastload Advance "toolbox" or "launcher launcher". PFA is a program, written by me, which offers you some additional game-related features.

First of all, it allows you to change the ingame settings which are normally only accessable in the option menu of Fantasy Tennis. This function could be useful, if you want to disable fullscreen before you start the game due to compatibility reasons - or just for comfort.

The Jukebox is one of the long awaited Fantasy Tennis features, which were announced long time ago by alaplaya.
Now, it's my turn to integrate it into the game. After you chose your favorite music, it automatically starts, when you run FT. If you are ingame, you can control the build-in mediaplayer with hotkeys from F6 to F10, allowing you to change the volume and to switch between your music files.
PFA also stops the music, if you close the game.

The default icon (shortcut symol of FT) comes with a 32x32 pixel resolution, which was ok, if you use Windows XP for example. Newer operating systems need a higher quality with a minimum of 48x48px because icons look fuzzy otherwise. I made a custom Fantasy Tennis 2 related icon with 256x256px which also looks well on giant screens.

Screenshots also have an important part in my program. Normally, you can choose between bmp and jpg-compression. The last one gives you a small file size for every screenshot, but there is also a quality loss. On the other side, there are bitmaps, which keep any detail, but also cause high files sizes (about 3MB each screenshot). Some days, I had about 2GB screenshots in my folder...
Phoenix Fastload Advanced compresses all your bmp-files to png. png does not lose any quality, but it is much smaller than a bitmap. To make it short: Keep your high quality screenshots, without wasting your diskspace!

Performance is everything - at least, if you don't want any system hangs or a low framerate. This is why you can choose programs, which should automatically shut down, if you start the game. E.g. the Windows Gadgets, they look cool, but you don't need them, while you are playing fullscreen. Even if you can't see them anymore, they took processor power, slowing the game down. Add "sidebar.exe" to kill this process during the game.

Well, PFA consists of more than 2000 lines of code, so there could be some bugs. Please tell me, if you find any! Of course, feedback is welcome too.

Important:
Previous Fastload users still can keep the "fastload-ability" of the program. Everyone, who is new to it, just got the features mentioned above.

Great job, Wong. Im just testing it rite now nd Im surprised in a rly positive way. I like the jukebox function the most x) Tho being able to shut down certain processes will help other for sure too, Im using Gamebooster already =x All in all, +1 rep of course

Hope that'll help.

At the end of "starting" this programm, i got this message -> FT_Launcher.exe -> missing, downloading Failed to patch file(s). Process aborted!

Problem fixed.

It was my fault.
Problem is now fixed in version 2.0.0.3 - that's what i call fast updates ^^"

Thank you for your information!

Be sure, that you just click 5 times with about 1 click every 2 seconds.

the agreement aint workin for me

ok after clicking on text 5 times i hit agree, then accept, it seems like its gonna get running but a window appears only for 0,1 sec and then shuts down

Do NOT click accept.

lol the read carefully still pops up, even if i lick slowly 5 times in the text to read. windows 7 here

another weird thing. i click 5 times then i hit disagree and asks me to point to FT folder. then it shuts down `xD
