Short: HD Installer & Fix for Pinball Dreams V1.0b
Author: jffabre@ensica.fr (Jean-François Fabre)
Type: game/patch

--- Pinball Dreams Hard Disk Installer, Loader, and Fix ---
This installer requires the Pinball Dreams ORIGINAL disks (there are 2).
It will not work for cracked versions.
The HD-Patched game will need about 2Mb of memory.
It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
Tested on A1200/68060/16MB and A1200/020/NoFast
Report me any bugs you'll find.
INSTALL:
1. Copy this directory whereever you want to
2. Copy JST in your path (e.g in C:) if you don't already have it
3. Go in the directory and run the rippinball program (follow the instructions)
4. Check that you've got the 3 files pdreams.d1,pdreams.d2, and HI00.
5. If all OK, delete the rippinball program, it's now useless
6. Adjust the different tooltypes if necessary
7. Click the PinballHD icon to start the game
Sorry the installation procedure and the ripping program are a bit ugly but they works.
This loader gave me a lot of work. The hardest I've ever made. But it's worth, as it
is very popular, and many people own the original, so they deserved such a program.
I hope you'll enjoy it (don't hesitate to drop me a line if you do).
FEATURES:
- Runs fully from HD/RAM
- Uses my new program JST for easier updates
- Fixes to allow to run the program on accelerator boards
- Hiscores saved on HD (disable it with NOOSSWAP)
- Rotten install program
- Runs fully on A1200/020 NoFast
- ESC quits to workbench while in the menu
- TRAINER tooltype argument disables DSKRDY check for install program
(useful for ESCOM A1200 owners).
NOTES FOR A1200/NOFAST USERS:
- for the install part, boot without startup-sequence else you may not have enough mem
- for the loader part, select LOWMEM tooltype or press joystick button on startup.
THANKS GO TO:
- Christian Zimmerman for sending me the original disks, and not yelling too much
when I said I would keep them for 1 month!
BUGS:
I could play the 4 tables without any problems.
If you've got a PAL version and it crashes, please reinstall the game now.
If you find some bugs, or the game crashes, please e-mail me (specify your
configuration).
I know there exist 2 other versions. With one of those, it's possible to play
to table 1 (ignition) and the others make the loader quit. If you've got this one
CONTACT ME!!
The other one is the NTSC version. It's not at all supported for the moment, but
I've got the disks here, so maybe it will be supported in some time.
Enjoy this GREAT game from Digital Illusions on your HD.
Jeff
