Note:
If you have installed Falcon Mission Disk I or II, use:
- CUSTOM=missions or falconmission (to play with Mission Disk I)
- CUSTOM=f16c (for Mission Disk II)
Falcon original version (1.0) and Mission Disk II could run too fast on your
amiga because the main program will be relocated in fast memory.
You can use "ExpChip" option to slowdown the game.
Falcon version 1.1 and Mission Disk I will run at the same speed.
But you can speed up or slowdown the game with CUSTOM1=1 to 9 (1 = fast, ...,
6 = default, ..., 9 = slow).
Thanks to Tony Aksnes for the disk version 1.1, Angus Manwaring for Budget
version and Mission Disk I & II, Carlo Pirri, Michael Evans and R-Team for
anothers versions, Retroplay for US version of Mission Disk II.
The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts"
and must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a
A500 with tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will
quit with a appropriate requester.
Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the
same directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
"util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.
