This was requested by wXR on EAB yesterday evening. Once I saw his
request this morning I started to work on the patch for this excellent
music disk. It didn't take long until I had an almost fully working
patch as the code is quite good. But I still had to patch certain
things since the demo originally used OS routines for loading, allocating
memory and decrunching the files, for that powerpacker.library was
used. I could have simple used KickEmul for the patch but well, I still
dislike demo patches which need a Kickstart ROM! So I just recoded
and patched all the OS stuff and replaced the library decruncher
with a normal PowerPacker decrunch routine. Once that was done
I noticed an error in the song length text for the "attributed horror"
song which I quickly correctly. Last thing I did was recoding the
random generator as the original routine relied on the raster beam
position ($dff006) and CIA TOD ($bfe801) which means it is CPU dependent
and produces rather bad results on fast machines.
You can download the demo from my FTP:
