- --- Shadow Of The Beast 3 Hard Disk Installer ---
-
- This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Shadow Of The Beast 3 (there are 2).
- It should NOT work for cracked versions, but if the files are ripped the same way I
- did on the original, it could.
-
- The HD-Patched game will need about 3Mb 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.
-
- INSTALLING THE GAME:
-
- Just run the installer script.
-
- 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.
-
- To abort installation during the custom disk loading, just press the left mouse
- button.
-
- The installer also checks that you inserted the correct disk. In case of problem
- during the installation, you can partially re-install the game by hand using
- the rippsyfiles command.
-
- After that you just have to adjust the tooltypes and start the game by clicking on
- the SOTB3HD icon or by typing SOTB3HD <options> in a shell.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- I don't repeat them in every doc file I join to one of my installers. Read the doc
- I wrote to know the details. You'll find it on my http patch page.
-
- PAL: Forces the game tu run PAL mode. Useful when you have a NTSC amiga, useless otherwise,
- because the loader switches in 15KHz anyway.
- NTSC:Same thing for NTSC.
- QUIET: displays nothing and opens no window. No error messages, and no author message.
- DEBUG: useful only for bug reports. Makes a memory image on exit.
- LEAVEVBR: useful only for debugging purposes, and with a debugger such as Action-Replay,
- HRTMon or ThrillKill. Don't select it unless you want to debug.
- NOCACHES: useful if you get unexplained crashes. The game will disable all caches at startup.
-
- FEATURES:
-
- - Full HD Install of the game, using real files instead of diskfiles.
- - Full use of fast memory and full memory control
- - Original trainer keys activated (<- ->). Thanx to Abaddon for the cheat.
- - F5 key allows you to quit the game (during the gameplay, not in the menu)
-
- OTHER KEYS:
-
- I remind you the other keys (original game)
-
- - ESC : lose a life and restart
- - HELP : restart
- - F10 : return to menu
- - SPACE: scroll through inventory
- - cursor right: invincibility
- - cursor left : normal
-
-
- BUGS:
-
- No known bugs :-)
-
-
- 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).
-
- 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:
