This is a music disk I missed back when it was released, found it some
days ago, wanted to check it and downloaded the WHDLoad patch which didn't
work at all. So I made a completely new one! Most interesting thing was creating
the imager slave, all files on the disks are encrypted and ByteKiller packed and
the disk format is quite nice as well, each sector consists of 510 bytes of data
and one word at the beginning which contains the next sector to load. There also is
an encrypted directory on track 1 of each disk. Took me a while to have a
properly working imager but it was fun to do.
Instead of patching the loader I simply emulate it in this patch, i.e. I created
code to have all required features needed to load and decrunch all files.
I have added a 5 seconds delay for the title picture, if either mouse button
is pressed the main part will be loaded.
The code is very good, just a lot of Bplcon0 color bit fixes were needed!
Enjoy the music disk from HD.
