Short: HD Installer for Project-X Special Edition V2.1c
Author: jffabre@ensica.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Uploader: jffabre@ensica.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Type: game/patch
Replaces: pxhd.lha
Install-Script & HD-loader ©1996/1997 Jean-François FABRE
Project-X is ©1993 Team17 Software.
--- PROJECT-X SPECIAL EDITION Hard Disk Installer ---
This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Project-X SE 93 (there are 3).
It should NOT work for cracked versions or the first release of Project-X.
The HD-Patched game will need about 4Mb of memory.
It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
Report me any bugs you'll find.
**WARNING**
Sorry there was a bug in the Rob2File program.
Now this is fixed. Please re-install your game to avoid unexplainable bugs.
***********
Note: I created and tested this package with a A1200/060/50 16Mb, so there should
be no problems for all 680x0 CPUs (caches,chipset...). It degrades display properly
so Multiscan users won't have any sprite or screen problem.
All my installers are now fixed for A3000/A4000 users (thanks Robert :-) )
When the disks are copied during installation, the pointer freezes. That's
normal cause the game uses a custom trackload routine (copy-protection), and
it does not easily multitask. No checks are done to see if you swapped the disks
or not.
FEATURES:
- Full HD Install of the game
- Installer script provided, for more convenience
- Full use of fast memory
- You can access all the 5 levels at once. The choice is not limited to levels 1,2,3.
- Fully 680x0 compatible without modifications (there were crashes with 68060)
- A TRAINER tooltype allows you to get infinite lives.
- Load/Save Hi-Scores now work with hard drive. No need for floppy
- F10 key allows you to quit the game from the main menu.
BUGS:
There are some annoying bugs I did not succeed to remove yet:
- You have to load the high scores by the LOAD SCORES option. This is not done at startup.
- Do NOT use a copyback disk cache on your games partition. This could be harmful if you reboot
the computer before you quit the game, if you use the SAVE SCORES option (disk buffers not
updated). Anyway, if you are afraid, you can still use floppies to save your games if you
set the NOOSSWAP tooltype/argument.
- Sometimes the game asks for disk 2 or disk 3, or refuses to work without the NOOSSWAP
tooltype. In that case, switch off and on your amiga and it will work again
(a Blizzard 12x0 problem ?)
- The install part has some problems with disk 1 sometimes. You'll get an error message. If so,
just reboot and try again. I don't know why this happen, but anyway, once installed, you
won't have to worry anymore.
CHANGES SINCE V2.1:
- The crash at level 1 when you played after level 3,4,5 is removed, there were a cache setting
problem in my hd-utility object code for the 68060.
- The installer script provided in V2.1b did not work. Now this should be OK. I apologize for
the inconvenience. Thanks to the user who reported the bug.
- Needs less memory to run. Added NOFAST tooltype to force extension in chipmem.
- Some names changed. I'm preparing Project-X original edition installer.
I think the patch is pretty complete now (I said that last time)
Thanks to Benjamin Brandt who reports me the problems he's got :-)
I hope this will work a bit better with this version than with 2.1a.
CHEAT MODE:
To skip levels during the game press and hold down the right mouse button
and then hit the [Escape] key, the screen will then turn black.
Now with your finger still on the right mouse button press the [Return]
key and you will be warped to the next level.
If you find some other bugs, or the game crashes, please e-mail me (specify your
configuration).
I'm also looking for people who could send me original disks for me to patch them
for 680x0 or write HD-Installers (NO WAY FOR CRACKED VERSIONS).
E-mail me if you're interested, or if you simply like this installer.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible for any damage caused directly or indirectly by this piece
of software.
DISTRIBUTION:
This patch can be distributed freely, but I'd appreciate that you drop me a line
if you include it in a coverdisk or PD collection.
However, FFD (France Festival Distribution) is not allowed to include it in any
of its PD disks (if you read usenet in fr.comp.sys.amiga, you'll know why).
It's the only exception for the distribution.

quality installers (all for original software), and some other interesting
freeware stuff:
