- GrandPrix Patch v2.20 by Multiplex of Chrome
- --------------------------------------------
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- This patch is freeware. It has nothing to do with Microprose
- nor F1GP Editor by Oliver Roberts. To use this patch you
- need the original Formula One Grand Prix written by
- Geoff Crammond. Thanks for ReqTools go to Nico François and
- for many hours (>1000h for sure!) beta-testing to Tero
- Savolainen.
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- Over 1MB memory and faster Amiga recommended. Please note that
- when you're racing with this patch, you need 100KB more memory
- than normally. This is mainly required for ReqTools to function
- properly.
-
-
- How to use
- ----------
-
- At first run GPPatch background by writing
- "run GPPatch" on your cli or shell window.
- Then start F1GP normally from shell or Workbench.
- If you're running F1GP from disks then add
- the command in the beginning of your F1GP-disk's
- startup-sequence.
- Also you must have reqtools.library (KS1.3 & KS2.0+ versions
- supplied) installed.
