 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad 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 (+0.7 MB OtherMem for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - 2 versions supported (SPS 1072, SPS 1074)
 - OS stuff patched (file loading, AllocMem() etc.)
 - DMA wait in replayer fixed
 - Interrupt fixed
 - Timing fixed
 - Bpclon0 color bit fix
 - Trainer options added
 - High score load/save added (disabled if any trainers used)
 - NewIcon (created by JHZ)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')

 Spent a bit of time today to create a completely new patch for this game as
 the old one had quite a few problems.
 The code is quite OK for its age, it's not particularly fast though. A few
 OS routines were used for loading and allocating memory, I have emulated all
 of them.

 The game is timed to run at 25 FPS, on fast machines it was running way too
 fast making it almost unplayable. I have fixed the timing, you may disable
 the timing fix with CUSTOM2 (recommended on slow/68000 machines). 

 I have also added some trainers and high score load/save, the latter will be
 disabled if any trainers are used.

 Enjoy the game from HD and have a nice festive season.
