Operation Stealth WHDLoad Pack

README

This installer requires the Operation Stealth original disks (3)
from Delphine Software, 1990.
It should work for any version including clean cracks. Go to hell rather
than submitting me a bug report if you've got a crack, though.


History:

 v2.0 (15.07.2003)
 - Rewritten for kick13, osemu no longer used. You've got to reinstall or copy
   the file "startup-sequence" of the install package in the directory "data"
   of the installed game, under a directory "s" (you'll have to create it too)
   otherwise the game will not boot and you'll have to type "delphine" to play!
 - Support for "James Bond 007 - The Stealth Affair", the US version of the game
   (Thanks Toaks for original images and support)
 - Source code included

 v1.3 (around 2002)
 - I thought it was 100%, but there were an error in expmem declaration. The
   game needed 8 megs of expansion mem! fixed (now needs 512K only!)

 v1.2
 - Convenient install script
 - Uses WHDLoad & OSEmu for full memory control & quit key
 - Runs with fastmem & caches for better loading and game speed
 - Supports theorically all versions. Tested with v4.0 (Kixx, UK), v3.6 (UK) and v3.7 (French)
 - V3.7 has lots of problems. Fixed
 - CPU dependent loops removed (music works OK with fast memory/caches on)
 - Color code protection removed (tough, did it 8 years ago!)
 - Saves to HD, without OS swaps with the help of zero-filled savegame files
 - Insert save disk requests removed
 - Quit key (numerical '*')
 - Icon by Frank
 - Docfile included
 - Walkthrough included

 v1.1
 - First WHDload release, supports only v4.0 and lots of problems still to solve

 v1.0
 - JST/OSEmu release, with hacked executable included


Notes:

- If you've got a save disk, you can copy its contents in the game directory
  (files named SD.DIR, and SD.).
- Thanks to Olivier Schott and Juergen Bornmeyer for bug reports/their versions
  of the game (there are a lot of versions of this game out there)
- The install script asks you how is labelled your disk 1. It is because
  in the french version there's an accent on the e of "Operation"
- If you've got an old installed version and you've got trouble, please re-install
  game from floppies or run the install script in your game directory to update
  files (slave/OSEmu/Savegame files)


Requirements:

 The game requires a installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 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/skick345.lha" on aminet.
