 This install applies to "Bombfusion" © 1989 Virgin Mastertronic.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad and DIC to be in the path.
 These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.8 MB OtherMem for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing F1 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Wrong custom register accesses ($df0xxx) fixed (x108)
 - Write to read-only register (VPOSR) fixed
 - Read from $dfd500 fixed
 - Blitter waits added (x9, on 68010+ machines only if CUSTOM2 is not used)
 - Trainers added (CUSTOM1, see below)
 - Interrupts fixed
 - Keyboard routine fixed
 - DMA waits in replayers fixed (x4)
 - Disk image size optimised
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F1')

 This patch happened completely by coincidence, I saw Gary Antcliffe
 (coder of the game) posting on EAB the other day and checked HOL
 to see which games he had made and found this one.

 The code had quite a few major problems, worst was the wrong custom
 register access. Instead of using $dffxxx the coder used $df0xxx
 for a reason I fail to understand, quite surprising that this works
 on the A500, probably due to some mirroring I guess. Anyway, this
 needed to be fixed of course which was quickly done with a small
 piece of code which took care of these offending custom register
 accesses. There also were some other problems such as writing
 to read only registers, CPU dependent DMA waits and stuff like that.
 Still, despite of these problems the code actually isn't that bad!

 Blitter waits had to be added too, this will only be done on
 68010+ machines to avoid slow downs on 68000 machines. On such machines
 the blitter wait patches can be forced with CUSTOM2=1.

 I have added some trainers as well,  these can be enabled with CUSTOM1.
 Available options are:

 CUSTOM1=1: enables unlimited lives
 CUSTOM1=2: enables unlimited time (the bombs won't explode)
 CUSTOM1=4: turns of radioactivity
 CUSTOM1=8: enables in-game keys, you can use the following keys:
            N - skips level
            T - toggles unlimited time
            R - toggles radioactivity
            L - toggles unlimited lives            

 These should be more than enough options to make the game easier
 to play. Enjoy it from HD.
