Short: HD Installer for Project-X Special Edition V2.1
Author: jffabre@ensica.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Uploader: jffabre@ensica.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Type: game/patch
Install-Script & HD-loader © 1996 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.
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
- 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:
- If you play level 3,4 or 5, and then return to level 1, the game will crash (exit, actually)
- 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).
CHANGES SINCE V2.0:
I successfuly removed the crash after the quit option.
The ESC key seems to be used in the cheat mode. To avoid conflicts with the quit key,
I replaced it by F10, as usual.
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.
Enjoy this GREAT game from Team 17 on your HD.
Jeff
