This install applies to "Jonathan" © 1993 Software 2000.
Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.
To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.
The installed program requires 1.0 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem.
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
The game requires an 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
an appropriate message.
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/skick346.lha" on aminet.
Features:
---------
- protection correctly removed (note: if you have the Interpol crack
don't waste your time trying to complete the game, it is impossible)
- saves during gameplay reduced to an absolute minimum (see below)
- option to always win the endfight (CUSTOM1=1)
- documentation and solution included
Some notes:
-----------
The game originally saved lots of files to a temporary location. This
meant that the game would have insane loading times using the WHDLoad
patch because of the required OS swaps etc. I changed that so the
game won't ever save temporary files anymore!
Furthermore, I had to patch one xpk unpacking routine because the
xpk.library always returned an error which meant the game could not
be played. I have tested this patch thoroughly and didn't experience
any problems, I could successfully complete the game! If you don't
trust this patch, you can disable it using the "CUSTOM2" tooltype,
if you set it to 1, the game will use the original xpk unpacking
routines.
If you see a screen showing some woman on the left and some text
on the right it means you did something wrong, i.e. it's the
game over screen. After that one you'll see a black screen, just
press your Quitkey (default: F10) then, this is no bug, the original
game returns to DOS at this point. I might add a "restart from the
beginning" in a later version of this patch.
If you can't figure out how to win the final fight you can use
the "CUSTOM1=1" feature, it allows you to complete the game
even if you didn't use the correct magic spells etc.
I have also included required information that is needed to complete
the game such as telephone numbers, information about the magic spells
etc, see file "JONDOC". I did type it back in 1993 from my original manual.
Yes, the dodgy Interpol crack made me buy the original! :)
