This install applies to "Mercs" © 1991 Tiertex/US Gold. 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 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.8 MB OtherMem for preload). It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey="). Features: --------- - Full load from HD (real files!) - Protection removed (MFM) - Interrupts fixed - DMA wait in replayer fixed (x2) - Decruncher relocated to fast memory - Blitter waits added (x5, 68010+ only) - Blitter wait patches can be forced on 68000 machines with CUSTOM3 - Trainer options added (CUSTOM1) - Start level can be selected with CUSTOM2 - High-score load/save - Keyboard routine fixed - NewIcon - Source code included as usual - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10') Finally got around to creating the install package for this updated patch. Actually had most of it finished back in December 2011 already when I saw some bug reports for the old patch and decided to redo it from scratch. Then I forgot about it for more than 2 years, updated my patch code a bit back in February 2014 and today, another year later, I finally created the install package. It sure was about time! The old patch had quite a few problems, disk access was not disabled properly, blitter waits were also installed on 68000 machines and the DMA wait in the replayer wasn't patched and there were more problems. These have all been fixed now of course. I have also added some trainers which can be enabled with CUSTOM1, the options are self-explanatory except for the in-game keys, if enabled you can use the following keys: N - skip level B - add bomb E - refill energy Please note that high-score saving will be disabled if any of the trainer options is used. A few blitter waits had to be added, these are only installed on 68010+ machines, if you want to force them on 68000 you can use the CUSTOM3 tooltype. Since it's more than 3 years that I made most of this patch I don't remember every detail of what I had to fix but I did spend quite a bit of time to create this patch! Since this game is one of the very few decent conversions by Tiertex it was fun though. Enjoy the game from HD.
