--- Paperboy HD install
This installer requires the original Paperboy disk and WHDload.
Paperboy is © 1989 Elite.
Paperboy original coin op is © 1984 Atari.
V1.4 - StingRay: support for another version added (issue #4416)
V1.3 - StingRay: Patch redone, graphics problems fixed (issue #1060),
trainers added (see below), WHDLoad v17+ features used, source
code included
V1.2 - JOTD Coded RawDIC imager (The one Ralf did was lame and did not work)
Disk imaging must be re-done for that version. The file "bootblock" is
no longer necessary.
V1.1 - WHDLoad release (JOTD)
V1.0 - First official release (Ralf, August 98)
Big thanks to Chris Vella for sending us the disk and for install testing.
--- Features for V1.3 (update by StingRay, 23-Jul-2015)
- Patch completely redone and graphics problems (game over screen) fixed
- Trainers added, if In-Game Keys are enabled, following keys
can be used: P - refill papers
L - refresh lives
N - skip level (completely spoils the game of course!)
I have updated the patch for this classic game after I saw a recent
bug report on the Mantis tracker. In the old patch there were graphics
problems once the game over screen was shown, this is now fixed!
Additionally I have added some trainers as usual and included the source
code for the patch in the archive.
The game code is really good, except for lots of wrong blitter waits
no major problems had to be fixed!
Thanks to Kevin Werdelmann for bug report and testing.
