This install applies to "Megablast" © 1990 Rebels.
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 demo requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.9 MB for preload)
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD
- Interrupts fixed
- Decrunchers relocated to fast memory
- DMA wait in replayers fixed (x6)
- Byte write to AudXVol in replayers fixed (x3)
- Access fault fixed ($fffff180-> $dff180)
- Bplcon0 color bit fix
- CPU dependent timing fixed
- Blitter waits added (x8)
- Reset part can be enabled with Custom1=1
- Blitter wait patches can be disabled with Custom2=1 or forced with
Custom3=1 (see blow)
- Source code included as usual
- NewIcon (created by me)
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')
And another patch is finished. Started it last Friday when I arrived
at work and today (Monday) I finished it when I arrived at work.
Except for the usual problems with the replayer and some missing blitter
waits there wasn't much I had to fix. The coder of the main part made a
small typo, instead of move.l #$dff180,a0 he used move.w #$dff180,a0 which
meant the first part of the address ($0dff) was cut off. This in turn
meant that the address was converted to $ffff0180 because of the
automatic sign extension. A nice access fault was the result.
The blitter wait patches are only enabled on 68020+ machines. You can completely
disable them with Custom2=1. If you want to force the blitter waits even on
68000 machines you can use Custom3=1.
The demo also features a reset part, you can enable it with
Custom1=1.
The demo can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.amigascne.org/pub/amiga/Groups/R/Rebels/REBELS-Megablast.dms
That about wraps it up, have a nice summer everyone and enjoy
the demo from HD how.
