I started this patch back in 2018 but didn't finish it. Some days ago
I decided to start again from scratch and finally completed this patch.
Not hard but quite time consuming to do.
The game uses a lot of self-modifying code, if you experience problems on
fast machines, try the "NOCACHE" tooltype.
There were a few access faults that have been fixed, a lot of blitter waits
had to be added as well. The blitter wait patches can be disabled with
CUSTOM2.
The latest version of the source for this patch can be found on
my Github: https://github.com/MK1Roxxor/WHDLoad_Patches/blob/master/Games/Hoi_WHD.s
Enjoy the game from HD and have a nice festive season.
