This install applies to "Guardian" © 1994 Acid Software. Requirements: ------------- This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC 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 1.5 MB ChipMem and 0.5 OtherMem (+2.0 MB for preload) It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey="). The game requires an installed A600/A1200/A4000 Kickstart 3.1 image. The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and must be named "kick40063.A600", "kick40063.A1200" or "kick40063.A4000". The image can be extracted from an A600/1200/4000 with tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet. If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with an appropriate message. Additionally the file "kick40063.A600.RTB", "kick40063.A1200.RTB" or "kick40063.A4000.RTB" must be installed in the same directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive "util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet. Features: --------- - Full load from HD - Protection removed (MFM) - Useless "call WaitTOF() 50 times" loop disabled - High score load/save (disabled if any trainer options are used) - Trainer options added - Decruncher (CrunchMania) relocated - NewIcon (created by me) - Source code included - Quit option that works with NOVBRMOVE (default key is 'F10') The next requested patch is now finished. Great game which features really good code, why the scroller code to show the high scores is so slow is beyond me though and calling WaitTOF() 50 times during startup didn't make sense either! Anyway, patching this game was fun, first I used the Kickstart 1.3 emulation code and here the keyboard didn't work so I recoded the keyboard routines which didn't take long. Today, when testing the install script, it actually dawned on me that it might not be a good idea to use Kickstart 1.3 for an AGA game and tried the patch with the Kickstart 3.1 emulation code. And lo and behold, I could remove all my "fix keyboard" code as ther were no problems anymore. :) The disk format used for the data disk is funny, tracks are stored in reverse order. Probably made to baffle the crackers but just looking at the trackloader code for a few seconds revealed anything anyway. The RawDIC imager to save all files from the data disk was quickly coded and while creating it I detected a bug in RawDIC and also one in my generic Amiga DOS imager code (which I wanted to use to save the files from the Program Disk) so it sure was useful to patch this game. :) I have also added high score saving, this will only be enabled if the game is played without using any of the trainer options! Enjoy the game from HD.
