- Short: HD Installer for Cannon Fodder 2 V1.1

- Install-Script & HD-loader © 1996/1997 Jean-François FABRE
-
- Cannon Fodder 2 is Copyright © 1993 Sensible Software.
-
- This installer requires the Cannon Fodder 2 original disks (there are 3).
-
- The HD-Patched game will need about 4Mb of memory. 512K of chip should
- be enough. It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
- The game was also patched for NTSC users.
- Report me any bugs you'll find.
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Click on the Install_Cannon2 icon to install the game.
- Due to a problem with overlapping files, I had to include 2 small files from the game.
- Don't try to install the game 'by hand', because some annoying bugs could occur
- (soldiers not at the right place, etc...)
-
- MAKING A SAVE DISK:
-
- The in-game 'FORMAT' option still works but it's slow because it formats all the sectors.
- It's also randomly reliable.
- If you've got already formatted disks and you want to create save game disks from them,
- use the MakeSaveDisk script. It's much faster and much safer.
-
- FEATURES:
-
- - Runs fully from HD
- - Uses fast memory (original does not)
- - Convenient installer script
- - Quit key (F10)
-
- Soon to come real HD saves. I've got no time to do this yet, but as I found a bug
- which prevented the game to quit, now this should not cause any problems.
-
- 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.
-
- For the moment, this version loads all the files in memory, and the games saves are
- stored on floppy as the original did.
- This version loads really fast, because I succeeded in relocating the main
- program in fast memory by removing the absolute memory allocation useful only
- for 1 Meg machines (the OS is destroyed)
-
- I had lots of problems with this game, and I hope you'll appreciate the work.
-
- If you find some 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 (NOT FOR CRACKED VERSIONS).
- E-mail me if you're interested, or if you simply like this installer.
-
-
- Thanx go to:
-
- - Kenneth C. Nilsen for his general purpose assembler startup code.
- - Dave Clarke for providing me the original disks.
- - Sentinel for his installer script I adapted mine from.
-
- Enjoy this great game from Sensible on your HD.
