This install applies to "Celica GT Rally" © 1990 Gremlin.
Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC to be in the path.
To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.
The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.6 MB OtherMem for preload).
It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD (real files!)
- Protection removed (manual check, protection track check, checksums)
- Full load/save support (records, save games)
- Self-modifying code fixed
- Out of bounds blits fixed
- Interrupts fixed
- Bplcon0 color bit fix
- Uninitialised copperlist (intro) fixed
- Decruncher (Fungus) relocated to fast memory
- 3 NewIcons (created by me)
- Source code included as usual
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')
This patch has now been redone as well, the old one didn't work properly
as not all protection checks were removed and saving games didn't work
either due to a missed checksum check.
The patch now uses real files, I actually started the work on the new patch
back in April when I noticed a bug report on the Mantis tracker. The RawDIC
imager was quickly done and first work on the patch code was done as well.
Then I had other things to do so didn't work on it for the next 8 months
to come. Yesterday I finally continued to work on the patch and today I
finished it, it now fully supports loading/saving of records and save games!
It was fun to do as the game is an old favorite of mine and deserves a proper
patch.
The code is quite good but some of the blits were wrong and had to be fixed,
the game now won't access any invalid memory locations outside the $80000 boundary
anymore. There also was a bit of self-modifying code to fix and lots of
checksums to remove. Coder tried to disguise the checksum checks which just
made it more fun! :)
Enjoy this classic game from HD. Happy new year everyone!
