I remember that, and I appreciate the intro working for everyone, now. I'm just wary of Pouet.net lately, as I have been labelled a "help vampire" and I didn't know that I was such a nuisance for asking so many questions. I also think I pissed off a lot of people by saying that "Google is overrated" and that let to Gargaj threatening me with a ban if I asked any more.

The majority of trainers are set default to do nothing, you normally have to have interaction with them to get them to train a game.

I have never used a trainer in my life, I always try to play the game as intended, but if I can't get very far, I don't use a trainer. I'm not even sure how they work.

You have no choice but to accept modified code for games, because a huge amount of them simply can't work off hard drive or work on AGA machines full stop.

I know they require heavy modification, that's not what bothers me, only if the games behave the same after modification for WHDLoad.

I don't think you fully appreciate what it takes to get some games from floppy to hard drive.
Some of them have put in literal DAYS on a game to ensure its 100% cracked so the end user doesn't have any problems, and they do so for FREE.

I had no idea it was so involved. I will look up examples of ADF > WHDLoad case studies when I can.
