As a bonus, game should be slightly smoother. - support for strafe with joypad reverse / forward (without firing !) (not for hellfire) - 3rd button launches hellfire in alternate controls mode (issue #0005348) - improved blitter fixes - COMPLETELY UNUSABLE, PLEASE UPGRADE Version 3.3 (03.april.2022) by JOTD: - separate slave which runs on 512k chip / 24-bit expansion - fixed support for SPS112 (sound fix broke support in v3.2, issue #0005486) Version 3.2 (09.january.2022) by JOTD: - support for 3-joystick button. Third button brings map (F10) (issue #0005348) - fixed potential sound issues (CPU dependent loops) - removed BUTTONWAIT to force NTSC. Use NTSC tooltype Version 3.1 (12.may.2019) by Keith Krellwitz/Abaddon & JOTD: - Removed division by 0 at the end of the intro (no need for novbrmove tooltype) - added automatic joypad detection - CUSTOM4 now allows alternate CD32 controls, but with classic controls (no CUSTOM4) status screen/abort mission/quit to OS joypad controls are active - joystick left/right select mission password in "enter password" menu: that plus joypad controls means no need for keyboard anymore for the entire game - music cpu active loops fixed - Fixed issue with copperlist being corrupted when restarting level (because of previous copper fix) Version 3.0 (13.mar.2016) by Keith Krellwitz/Abaddon: - Removed all JST specific code and converted to use patchlists - Added Level Select - Added Trainer - Infinite Power, Fuel, Hellfire, Hydra, and Cannon - Blitter Waits Added - Removed 6x Disk Access - Fixed issue with copperlist being set before the its loaded (after main menu, press fire to skip intro, mission briefing, etc.) - Reworked the CD32 controls as requested Red - Always fires the Cannon Blue - Always fires Hydra Green - Always Fires Hellfire (The weapon select no longer functions) - Added Button Wait to force NTSC - Second version supported - Custom5=1 - Skip Intro - Jumps to the Main Menu - Not Publicly Released Version 2.3 (21.jan.2013) by Keith Krellwitz/Abaddon: - Custom4=1 - Enable CD32 joypad support Version 2.2 (07.july.2007) by JOTD: - no need for NOVBRMOVE anymore - reworked install & icons - source code included previous versions done by JOTD (1996-2007, no history available) - Rewrote memory allocation so the loader now only needs 512K chip/512K 24bit RAM - Removed routines that lit the floppy led (I hate that floppy led :) ) - Second button changes weapons (VERY useful during intensive fights) - Fast decrunch using relocated routines in fastmem - Manual included Cheat: Enter "HARDCASE" to get unlimited weapons, but low armour. Enter "PSYCHOTI"? (This is only active in one of the versions) LEVEL 2-"BQJRAEF" LEVEL 3-"KLJLTOE" LEVEL 4-"WEIVVJT" END SEQUENCE-"ONKKQKF" 10 GUYS AND INFINITE AMMO-"BQQQAEZ" Joypad controls Red - Fire Yellow - Bring Up Map Screen/Exit Map screen Play - Pause Forward - Strafe right Reverse - Strafe left Play+Forward+Reverse - Quit Green+Forward+Reverse - Abort Game Notes: - strafe with reverse/forward doesn't work with hellfire. It's because of the special way that the game launches hellfire: when button is released. - The game made sure that real 32-bit memory could not work. The relocation routines for the embedded executables masked the higher 8 bits of addresses. Removing that mask allows the game to work on 32-bit memory. Todo: - add support to automatic password entry in other version - blitter glitches/flashes in some parts |
