Author:   Codetapper/Action (codetapper@hotmail.com), ICQ: 26051687
Uploader: Codetapper/Action (codetapper@hotmail.com)
Version:  1.1
Type:     game/patch

This patch applies to "Road Blasters" (c) 1988 US Gold - 1 disk.
Thanks to Carlo Pirri and Jools Henn for sending the original!

REQUIREMENTS:
- Slave requires WHDLoad V11+ and RawDIC
- Game requires 512k chip mem (+400k other memory for preload option)

FEATURES: (13-Jan-2001)
- Full load from HD
- Supports N.O.M.A.D's AGA fixed single file version (you can run the
  executable on some Amigas but it guru's on others)
- MagicWB icon
- Quit option (default key is 'F10' on keypad)

VERSION 1.1:
- Now supports the original
- MFM disk images converted to files
- Keyboard routine completely rewritten
- RomIcon reworked and added NewIcon and GlowIcon (created by me!)
- You can compress the "RoadBlasters" file with ProPack, Fimp etc to 
  save a few bytes. Do NOT compress the file RoadBlasters.data!
- Decruncher relocated to fast memory for N.O.M.A.D's version (fast!)
- RomIcon, NewIcon and OS3.5 Colour Icon (created by me!) and 2 Exoticons
  taken from http://exotica.fix.no/

CHEAT MODE:
- On the starting line, type "LAVILLASTRANGIATO" and use the following
  keys:

           'X'___________Spins car     '1'_____Mount VZ Cannons
           'S'__________Next stage     '2'______Cruise missiles
           'F'______________Refuel     '3'_______Electro shield
           'G'____________End game     '4'______Nitro injectors
                                       '0'______Removes weapons

KEYS:
- M for mouse control (default)
- J for joystick control
- Press PrtSc/* on the title to access the info panel
- Escape to start game

The original loads the main game, then loads and decrunches for several 
seconds while the music plays. It has not crashed! Also be aware that
the default control method is mouse, which isn't too bad in this game!

Purely for technical information, this game has a shocking loader, which
is actually byte for byte identical to the one in Brataccas! No checksum
checks present meaning it's hard to tell if you have a perfect rip of the
disk.

Greetings to Carlo for the original (which I couldn't get a 100% rip of!)
and to Jools (for the version I could rip 100%), IFW for the CAPS image (to
test the 100% rip!), all Action members, my testing crew and the WHDLoad
team!
