- After a lot of searching, I finally found it: The mythical populous patch.
- It seems to work on my 3000 now, under 2.04. From the readme:
-
-
- Fixpop will modify "populous.prg" so that it will work on a 68010.
- It may still not work on a 68020 or 68030 unless the instruction cache
- is disabled.
-
- It also modifies "populous" so that it can be run from someplace besides
- the root directory of your boot disk.
-
- I left some of the copy protection in, so the original disk will be
- required to be in one of your floppy drives when playing the game.
-
- Note that if your versions of the programs are not the same as my versions
- of the programs, they have at least a 99.99% chance of not working after
- this. Note also that fixpop does not do any error checking of any kind.
-
- DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR ORIGINAL DISK!!!!
-
- How to use it:
- Format a blank disk.
- Copy all the files from the populous disk to the blank disk.
- remove the populous disk from the machine.
- cd to the new disk.
- fixpop
- (wait for a while)
- install it on a hard drive (optional)
- try it
-
- If you run it off a hard drive, be sure that the workbench screen can be
- closed, otherwise workbench still receives mouse events and acts accordingly.
