Looks like this is my first officially released WHDLoad patch in 2011.
And it's for a quite nice musicdisk which was released at the Sunrise
party in September 2011.
It wasn't much work to create this patch, yesterday evening I coded the
RawDIC imager and started to patch the main part of the demo, once I
woke up this morning I patched the hidden parts and that was it.
Enjoy the musicdisk from HD now, the music quality is outstanding!
Great job Hoffman! I of course also patched all the hidden parts I found,
you can select them with CUSTOMx tooltypes, there are some quite nice
hidden parts!
Update 25-Sep-2014:
-------------------
I finally got around to updating this patch. It had some small yet annoying
problems, most of the hidden parts didn't work correctly, the chiptune
part had a wrong "skip VBR stuff" patch (skipped 4 bytes too less) which
resulted in crashes when choosing tunes, in the ascii part the VBR stuff
wasn't skipped at all resulting in an access fault, a few blitter waits
had to be added and a serious access fault in the suntronic replayer code
used in the Paranoimia intro had to be fixed too. There also was a nice
bug in the intro code, coder used "blitter nasty" when waiting for
the blitter but the code to disable the "blitter nasty" mode wrote to
register $dff002 instead of $dff096. Furthermore it is now also possible
to quit the intro with left mouse button, the quit key still works too
of course.
The other problem was that the patch didn't work on 68000 machines as my
code for the disk change patch accessed longs at odd addresses which
68000 CPU's do not support. This has been fixed too.
I have also updated the patch to use WHDLoad v17+ features which means it's
now much easier to select the hidden parts as you can just use the WHDLoad
splash screen for that.
Quite an update this one and I'm happy I finally did it, it was one of these
"I need to do this one day" things but it took me 3 years to do it...
