Short: HD Installer for Project-X Special Edition V1.5
Type: game/patch
Author: fabre@cert.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Uploader: fabre@cert.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
J.F FABRE proudly presents:
--- 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.
The installer is 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.
IMPROVEMENTS SINCE V1.0:
Version V1.0 of the loader 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.
There also were gfx problems with the Hall Of Fame page and the speed tunnel
section.
You can access all the 5 levels at once. The choice is not limited to levels 1,2,3.
The loading is faster.
Version 1.2 did not allow you to play levels 4 & 5 directly.
Version 1.1 allocated the memory in one big chunk, which made the patch unusable
for Amigas with 2MB chip and 2MB fast. I fixed this.
For V1.0/V1.1/V1.2/V1.3 users of the patch, just replace the px2hd executable by this version.
No need to install the whole game again :-)
Version 1.3 did not start in PAL (NTSC users) and gave lots of firepower at level 1.
Now it's fixed.
Version 1.4 had problems with A3000/A4000. Now fixed owing to a nice user.
BUGS:
If you play level 4 or 5, and then return to level 1, the game will crash.
I'm sorry but I did not find this one yet :-(
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.
Enjoy this GREAT game from Team 17 on your HD.
