Last Minute Changes to Maverick 4.00
and
Special Parameter Notes
======================================================================
Configuration:
A new option has been added - "DOS Delay". Sets the
amount of time, in seconds, to wait between file access
functions during parameter execution. Default value 4
seconds. This delay value is only necessary to prevent
the occasional DOS requestor from popping up. AmigaDOS
1.3 users should set this to at least 1. AmigaDOS 2.0x
users can set this to zero for most parameters.
Copy screen:
A completely new copy screen has been created for
Maverick 4.00. The track display is larger and has been
divided into separate source and target areas. During a
disk copy, a green or blue plus sign indicates a good
read or write and a red minus sign means a read or write
error. To select new source and target drives, click
the appropriate icon on each side.
Bypass:
OVERRIDE PARAMETERS ONLY! This new option will bypass
the disk copy and proceed directly to parameter
execution. You can select this option by pressing the 'B' key.
You will be presented with a directory
requester. Select the directory or disk where Maverick
can find the program files it needs to modify. This
option is ideal for those who already have the program
installed on their hard disk or another floppy disk. If
you plan to BYPASS to floppy disk, you should insert the
disk BEFORE selecting BYPASS to ensure that it will
appear in the directory requester. KeyDisk Decoder
parameters must still be run in the normal fashion.
=======================================================================
LEMMINGS
Parameter Part 1:
After you have run part 1, boot the Lemmings copy as you
normally would. When the screen turns GREEN, insert the
ORIGINAL Lemmings disk 1 and press the left mouse
button. When the screens turns RED, re-insert the
Lemmings COPY and press the left mouse button. After a
few minutes, the screen will turn BLUE. Remove the copy.
Reboot Maverick.
Parameter Part 2:
Select LEMMINGS Disk 1 Part 2. Before selecting "OK", set
the source and target drives to the same drive. Select
"OK" and insert the LEMMINGS COPY created by Part 1.
When the parameter is completed, you will have a LEMMINGS
disk 1 that boots much faster and bypasses the demo.
======================================================================
POPULOUS
This parameter only works with the version included in
the Sim City/Populous bundle pack distributed by Electronic Arts/Infogrames.
Sorry! The other version is an even tougher nut to crack, but I'll keep
trying! The "parametered" version of Populous will bypass the intro/menu
screen and go directly to the game. NOTE: when the parameter ends, a message
is displayed to not use Workbench to run the Populous backup, instead use
IconX to execute a script file to run it through a CLI/SHELL. If you are
autobooting Populous from floppy, the program will not load Workbench, but will
instead execute Populous directly...
KEYDISKDECODER
An "Open Count" option has been added to the KeyDisk
Decoder. If the parameter crashes during execution, trying increasing
the count by 1 at a time until the parameter succeeds. If the program
takes away control of the machine from KeyDisk decoder, try decreasing
the count by 1 at a time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maverick is in a period of transition. The new Copy screen
will, by version 5, contain all of the functions of the User
Control Center. There will also be some support for user-selectable
fonts. The Main screen functions MAY also be integrated into the Copy
screen.
We hope you enjoy the improvements to Maverick 4.00.
Future improvements
and additional utilities will appear in greater volume and frequency
-IF- sales and interest justify the time and expense. So ... if you know
people who have "borrowed" Maverick, encourage them to buy it and register.
Support the products that you use and like or watch them
fade into oblivion...
