I (StingRay) have updated the patch for this great game, major changes are
that the blitter wait patches are now automatically skipped on 68000 machines
to avoid slow downs. The blitter waits can be forced on 68000 machines with
CUSTOM2=1. I have also coded a RawDIC imager as I didn't like that the old
patch still used The Patcher for imaging. I have also re-enabled the unlimited
lives/time trainers, these were originally done by Harry I think. Additionally
I have added an option to skip levels by pressing 'n'. All trainer options can
be enabled with the CUSTOM1 tooltype:
CUSTOM1=1: enables unlimited lives
CUSTOM1=2: enables unlimited time
CUSTOM1=4: enables level skip with with 'n' key
To enable more than one option just add the numbers together, f.e. CUSTOM1=5
(1+4) will enable unlimited lives and the level skip option. Since I have updated
the patch to use WHDLoad v17+ features you can of course also easily select the
options in WHDLoad's splash window.
