Notes V1.2 (StingRay)
---------------------

I finally got around to updating the patch for this game, the old one
never worked properly as the protection wasn't disabled correctly, there
were still a lot of checksum checks and fake interrupt checks to remove,
certainly one of the more interesting protections, took me several hours
to have all checks removed, mainly as a lot of playtesting was required.
I have completely finished the game so it works fine now, no more crashes
in the volcano level or when killing the last robot in a level or other
"random" bugs! Hats off to Guido Bartels, the protection surely did its
job very well!

I have also added some trainers, if in-game keys are enabled the following
key can be used:

E - toggle unlimited energy
W - all weapons
F - full energy

High-score saving is disabled if any trainers are used.

If someone has the original 2 disk version of this game I'd like to get
the mfm images so I can update the patch to use real files.

This update is dedicated to the memory of Mr.Larmer. I'm sure he would have
liked to know the inner workings of the protection and I would have loved
to talk about it with him!
