-
- --- PROJECT-X SPECIAL EDITION Hard Disk Installer ---
-
- This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Project-X SE 93 (there are 3).
- It should NOT work for cracked versions or the first release of Project-X.
-
- The HD-Patched game will need about 4Mb of memory.
- It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
- 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.
- All my installers are now fixed for A3000/A4000 users (thanks Robert :-) )
-
- 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.
-
- FEATURES:
-
- - Full HD Install of the game
- - Installer script provided, for more convenience
- - Full use of fast memory
- - You can access all the 5 levels at once. The choice is not limited to levels 1,2,3.
- - Fully 680x0 compatible without modifications (there were crashes with 68060)
- - A TRAINER tooltype allows you to get infinite lives.
- - Load/Save Hi-Scores now work with hard drive. No need for floppy
- - F10 key allows you to quit the game from the main menu.
-
- BUGS:
-
- There are some annoying bugs I did not succeed to remove yet:
-
- - You have to load the high scores by the LOAD SCORES option. This is not done at startup.
- - Do NOT use a copyback disk cache on your games partition. This could be harmful if you reboot
- the computer before you quit the game, if you use the SAVE SCORES option (disk buffers not
- updated). Anyway, if you are afraid, you can still use floppies to save your games if you
- set the NOOSSWAP tooltype/argument.
- - Sometimes the game asks for disk 2 or disk 3, or refuses to work without the NOOSSWAP
- tooltype. In that case, switch off and on your amiga and it will work again
- (a Blizzard 12x0 problem ?)
-
-
- CHANGES SINCE V2.1:
-
- - The crash at level 1 when you played after level 3,4,5 is removed, there were a cache setting
- problem in my hd-utility object code for the 68060.
-
-
- I think the patch is pretty complete now.
-
-
- If you find some other 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 (NO WAY FOR CRACKED VERSIONS).
- I'd like someone to send me the original release of Project-X. It would be great if my
- installer supported both 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:
