This install applies to "Absence of Light" © 1991 Animators.
Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC 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 demo requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.5 MB for preload).
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD (real files!)
- Random generator recoded (relied on raster beam position)
- DMA wait in replayer fixed (x2)
- CPU dependent delays fixed
- Interrupts fixed
- NewIcon (created by me)
- Source code included as usual
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')
Second patch today is for this old music disk by Animators.
Not quite my favorite Animators release (far from it) but I patched it
anyway. Not much code here, the only real problem was the random generator
which relied on the raster beam position which in turn means that is
produces bad results on fast machines. I have completely recoded it.
There also were some "empty" dbf loops used for timing, I have fixed
these too of course. I have no idea why they decided to release it as
trackloaded demo as it consists of one file only. The RawDIC imager
was quickly coded anyway. If you want to save disk space you can compress
the "AbsenceOfLight" file with any of the crunchers supported by WHDLoad.
The demo can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.amigascne.org/pub/amiga/Groups/A/Animators-AbsenceOfLight.dms
Enjoy it from HD.
