- --- Lemmings Hard Disk Installer ---
-
- This installer requires the ORIGINAL disk(s) from Lemmings,Lemmings Budget or
- Oh No More Lemmings.
-
- It will NOT work for cracked versions.
-
- The HD-Patched game will need about 1.5Mb of memory for the 1 disk version and
- 3.5Mb for the 2 disk version, but you can use the HDLOAD tooltype to reduce
- memory consumption.
-
-
- FEATURES:
-
- - Runs fully from RAM/HD
- - 8 versions supported.
- - Works using JOTDStartup (jst), included in the archive.
- - Convenient installer script
- - Can be run either in PAL or NTSC (country check removed)
- - All versions run on a standard A1200/020/NoFast
- - F10 quits the game
- - DEL skips the level in the original release (not Oh No More Lemmings)
- - Disk, code checksums and password protection removed (tough work)
- - Fast decrunch on 2 disked original edition
- - TRAINER tooltype gives infinite time
-
- SUPPORTED VERSIONS:
-
- - Lemmings Original PAL (2 versions, one with screen centered vertically)
- - Lemmings Original NTSC
- - Oh No More Lemmings NTSC
- - Oh No More Lemmings NTSC (trackdos disk version)
- - Oh No More Lemmings PAL (2 versions with password and 1 with disk protection)
- - Lemmings Budget PAL
- - Lemmings CDTV
- - Holiday Lemmings (DOS disk, no protection, JST used only for degrading)
-
- If somebody has got any other unsupported version, please let me know.
-
-
- INSTALLING THE GAME:
-
- Just run the installer script relevant to your version.
- The installers will install different games in different directories so you can
- install all the versions at a time.
-
- If you did not install JST before, copy it in your path (better in C:)
-
- The installer also checks that you inserted the correct disk. In case of problem
- during the installation, you can partially re-install the game by hand using
- the rippsyfiles command.
-
- After that you just have to adjust the tooltypes and start the game by clicking on
- the LemmingsHD icon or by typing LemmingsHD <options> in a shell.
-
- THANKS:
-
- - To Keith Krellwitz for having written the dos image file ripper for the special
- version of Oh No More Lemmings, and providing this one.
- - To D. Cresswell for providing the original of Lemmings Budget, beta-testing,
- trainer hints and file logging.
- - To Troy Pladson for providing the original of Oh No More Lemmings NTSC.
- - To Jacob Jensen who sent me the other version of Oh No More Lemmings PAL.
- - To Thierry Sillis for sending me Holiday Lemmings
- - The other people who sent me some files so I could adapt to their version.
- - The users who reported me bugs.
-
- BUGS & COMMENTS:
-
- I had several bug reports from users of the loader who used the Budget version, and
- the 2 disked version of the original levels game.
-
- When you entered a level code over level 7, it crashed or showed white stripes.
- This is now *REALLY* fixed. There were also blocker bugs, sprite bugs...
- I found 3 very nasty code checksum routines and I removed them, and looked in a
- crack by Skid Row for the other ones. There were 9 checksums !!
- Now the game works fine (I hope so!)
-
- Thanks for notifying me about the different problems. This one was really strongly and
- cleverly protected!!
- I'm not that clever but I stroke the final blow on this f***ing protection
- (not hard to cleanup in Oh No More Lemmings versions).
-
- There are some minor bugs in the intro animation (2 disk version).
- It works fine from floppy, and I can't figure out why this happens.
- Not serious anyway.
-
- This install really meant hard work, because of the strong protection, and also
- because of the several different versions that exist.
-
- If you want to register JST only for this one, you can :)
-
-
- CONTACT ME:
