I don't really know why I even bothered but anyway, here's the patch
for this rather average game. It's more or less a collection of mini
games, the idea isn't that bad but execution could have been much better.
It's fun for a few minutes though. The code had a few problems, CIA access
was wrong and needed to be fixed, empty dbf loops were used for timing and
there also were quite some unnecessary delays after loading a file and before
initialising interrupts. I have removed these delays so the game starts much
faster now! I have also patched all OS stuff so this patch does not need a
Kickstart ROM.
I have also added an option to skip the long intros, you can enable it with
CUSTOM1=1. Even if you skip the intros the language selection screen will
still be displayed!
I have also added some trainers, CUSTOM2=1 enables unlimited lives and with
CUSTOM3 you can select the starting level.
The game uses ByteKiller crunched data files, I have relocated the
decruncher to fast memory and also added an error check, if decrunching
fails WHDLoad will quit with an appropriate error message.
Not much more to say, enjoy the game from HD.
