Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad and DIC to be in the path.
To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.
The installed demo requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+1.8 MB OtherMem for preload).
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD
- All OS stuff patched/emulated (DoIO, WaitBlit, AllocAbs, AddIntServer etc.)
- Blitter waits added (x2)
- Wrong Bltcon0 value in line drawer fixed
- Byte write to Bltcon1 in line drawer fixed
- DMA wait in replayer fixed (x8)
- Bplcon0 color bit fix
- NewIcon (created by me)
- Source code included as usual
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')
And yet another classic music disk is patched and it was quite fun
to do. Worth mentioning is that quite a lof of people involved in this
music disk are still active nowadays (Vedder, Slash and Louie for example).
The code is pretty system-friendly so a lot of OS routines were
used for loading, memory allocation, waiting for the blitter and also
installing the CIA interrupt in the protracker replayer. Coding
the required library emulation code wasn't hard though and quickly done.
Saved me quite a lot of time as I didn't have to patch each individual OS
stuff in the demo code.
I still do not like demo patches that require a Kickstart ROM! :)
The first two title pictures were displayed while loading so I had to
come up with some "emulation" code for that too as loading from HD is
much faster of course. A couple of minutes and a timing interrupt later
that problem was solved too. The pictures are now displayed for 3 seconds,
they can be skipped by pressing left mouse button if you are impatient.
Next was finding the reason why the song loading in the main part didn't
work correctly, turned out loading from HD was too fast so the blitter
was still active clearing the destination area hence the loaded data
was incomplete. Took a little while to figure out but probably only
happens on extremely fast machines but it's now fixed anyway.
Special greetings to Vedder, Slash and Louie! :)
Enjoy this nice music disk from HD.
