This install applies to "R-Type" © 1987 Factor 5.
This install requires WHDLoad and The Patcher to be in the path. Both can be
found in the WHDLoad package.
The installed program requires 0.5 MB ChipMem.
It can be quit by pressing * (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer
version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page. If that doesn't help try
some Tooltypes like NOCACHE, NOAUTOVEC, EXPCHIP, NOMMU, PAL or NTSC. If
that also fails, please inform the author via the Bug-Report-Form which
can be accessed on the WHDLoad WWW-Page.
