- --- MORTAL KOMBAT Hard Disk Installer ---
-
- This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Mortal Kombat (there are 2).
- The HD-Patched game will need about 2Mb of FAST memory and 1 or 2Mb more
- for the game itself, which makes 3Mb a minimum, but (almost) any HD owner
- has got 3Mb. You also need 1MB of chipmem to run the game.
-
- Sorry but this game does not like 32bit fastmem AT ALL. If you need a 512K chip version,
- just let me know.
-
- It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs.
- Report me any bugs you'll find.
-
- 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 (the disk structure is very similar between the 2 disks).
-
- HISTORY:
-
- V1.0: This version did not take advantage of the allowed cpu caches
- properly and did not disable specific '060 caches. Besides, it sometimes exited
- with no reason, without doing anything, or loaded and locked up.
- There were graphics corruption for one of the players.
-
- V1.1: Bugs were corrected except for the gfx corruption
-
- V1.2: The gfx bug was finally removed. Works (almost) perfectly :-)
- I added a small guide for special moves and fatalities.
-
- V1.3: Startup code improvement. Crashes less often.
-
- V1.4: New memory management. F10 quits the game at any time. Needs 1MB of chipmem.
- I think it's the final version.
-
- V1.4a: I was wrong when I thought it was the final version. It simply did not work.
- I re-linked it with my new startup code, and made a few modifications, and now it
- works perfectly. Sorry for V1.4 users.
- I also changed the installation system. Now it uses a command I wrote (rob2file) and
- an installer script. Much more flexible and user-friendly.
-
- CHEATMODE:
-
- Type CATHULU in the menu to get a cheat mode menu.

- 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.
