This install applies to "Crime Does Not Pay" © 1991 Titus.
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 game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem(+1.0 MB for preload)
It can be quit by pressing Del (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:
---------
- Full load from HD
- Protection removed (protection track check)
- RomIcon, 3 NewIcons and 3 OS 3.5 color icons (all created by Irek'72)
- Source code included as usual
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')
This patch was requested by Irek on EAB yesterday. He also provided lots
of cool icons for the install!
Patching the game wasn't hard, protection was a track check which was
performed in an external file which stored the result in $8.w. Not really
the way to go for system-friendly code but since it has been disabled
it doesn't matter anymore. The main game checked the result and jumped
to an odd address that also didn't contain any code if the check failed.
Nothing special at all but at least no direct compare was used so I had
a few minutes of fun (few translates to about 3).
The game had insane loading times from floppy because it copied lots of
files to RAM and later, during the game, the same files were copied
to RAM: again... No further comments needed. I have disabled this
behaviour in this patch of course.
Not much more to say, for me this game is yet another example that Amiga
games shouldn't be coded in a high-level language.
Enjoy the game from HD now anyway. Special thanks to Irek for the
cool icons!
