Archon 2: Adept © 1986 Electronic Arts
Features:
- Runs fully from HD using WHDLoad + KickEmu
- Game does not need on-board kickstart 1.x to run anymore
- Convenient install script
- Disk protection now fully removed (tough work)
- Quit key (numerical '*', or configurable with QUITKEY)
- Instructions included
- Nice icon by Chris Vella
- Should support original version and cracked versions
Notes:
- This one was tough, and time consuming. I hope you'll appreciate it.
- Don't ask me for other early EOA titles such as Archon, Arctic Fox,
One On One, ... as I'm planning to fix them anyway.
- Tested on A1200/68060, plain A1200/68020, A2000/68030, A4000/060
If you've got trouble, try setting NOCACHE or/and NOMMU
Thanks go to:
- Derek Noomburg for the old Marble Madness patch. I had a hunch that
this would be the same problem, and it was.
- CAPS team for technical advice on the game execution
- Bert Jahn for WHDLoad and KickEmu
- Hidehiko Ogata for original disk image
- LockPick for the floppy crack I had to adapt because it needed the
disk in the drive
- Chris Vella for nice icon
- LSD for documentation
History:
- v1.0: initial release
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/skick343.lha" on aminet. |
