- Galahad presents another AGA fix for ...... Warzone from Core Design
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Another not so tricky one. 60+ blitter waits were missing from this one.
- It allways amazes me with games programmers. The reason they dont put in
- all of the blitter waits is to get as much time as possible. Fair enough,
- but 99.99% of all of the games I have fixed for blitter reasons run exactly
- the same on a basic A500!!! So it begs the question.... why bother in the
- first place.
-
- The sample/music player started to get a bit freaky at points so I
- disabled the CPU/DATA caches. Also if it detects an AGA machine (which is
- surely why you are reading this!) it will also load the whole game into RAM
- and thus remove disk access completly once it has loaded. I mean, if
- you've got 2meg of memory, might as well fucking use it!! And thats it
- again for another fix. I will fix Space Crusade from Gremlin Graphics once
- I get a working disk 2, as mine is completly fucked. So as soon as I can
- playtest it thoroughly, I will release that as well. Someone wanted me to
- do Moonstone as well, as well as Deuteros. Well before I can do Deuteros I
- need to see the original, because if the original is the same loading
- sequence as the cracked version, it will require a re-code of 40% of the
- game to get it working. The silly sod who coded it, has used DOS to load
- the stuff it needs... fair enough. But his code is located right at the
- bottom of chip memory ($1f000) and on a basic A1200 with 2meg of chip ram,
- the trackbuffer for AmigaDOS is based around there. So I have a lot of
- work to do. But I need to see the original first before I start fucking
- around with it, in case it was an FFC special (Fully Fucked Crack!)
-
- Anyway regards to the following dudes: Mok, Samir, Troops, N.O.M.A.D., Red
- Devil, Hogster, Charon, Neil, Blackhawk, Ice D.
-
- And to all those that have missed me in the US for a while... I will be
- back at some point.... fuck knows when!!!
