- --- Desert Strike Hard Disk Installer ---
-
- This installer requires the 3 Desert Strike disks.
-
- The HD-Patched game will need about 4Mb of memory.
-
- Features:
-
- - Full HD loading using cached disk images in memory.
- - Installer script to install the game easily
- - HELP key quits (only during the game sequence)
- - Removed some in-game memory allocation so the quit option is totally clean.
- - Right Shift is now equivalent to left Shift (my left shift is dead),
- useful to give up a game with SHIFT+ESC combination
-
- It should work for ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
- The game was also patched for NTSC users.
- 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.
-
- You can install the different disks from DF1:, DF2: or DF3: instead of DF0: by
- changing the unit in the installer script:
-
- (set #CI_Unit 2) for DF2:
-
- I know some people have their DF0: dead :-)
-
- 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.

- DISCLAIMER:
-
- I'm not responsible for any damage caused directly or indirectly by this piece
- of software.
-
- DISTRIBUTION:
-
- This patch can be distributed freely, but I'd appreciate that you drop me a line
- if you include it in a coverdisk or PD collection.
-
- However, FFD (France Festival Distribution) is not allowed to include it in any
- of its PD disks (if you read usenet in fr.comp.sys.amiga, you'll know why).
- It's the only exception for the distribution.
-
- ME:
-
- Visit my patch page, where all my HD work is gathered, along with some other
- quality installers (all for original software), and some other interesting
- freeware stuff:
