Sounds good to me! :o)

(in your own time) Please send me a list!

So assuming that I won't get beaten on it, you have first refusal on it. Cant agree a price yet because I don't know what it will be (I paid 21 Pounds for Stunt Car Racer!!!! I wasn't expecting that!)

Okay, that is really great. :o)

We can talk about it more after you have bought it / finished with it. Obviously if I manage to find a copy in the mean time, I probably won't be needing it. :o)

Thanks!

RetroMan · 03 April 2002, 12:05

Just curious : Is it possible to write the MFM Images of Dragons Breath back to original Disks ???

Paul · 03 April 2002, 12:11

Yes try

mfmwarp write filename.mfm DEEP SYNC $4489

Not sure if you need to type DEEP SYNC $4489 though

Then why, if you have the trilogy version, and the warp tracks written, gets me into the game at least ??

Galahad/FLT · 06 April 2002, 14:09

Just to keep everyone informed about Dragons Breath.

It is almost 100%, I just have to figure a way of patching the final protection check on disk 2.

I have had to crack this game in a very obscure way, and at the moment the game will NOT operate on AGA machines because I have cracked it without touching ANY files

Of course I will remove the self modifying encryption on the boot file for a final release, but I want to get the game working so that it can be playtested on a REAL A5oo, then I can worry about other issues (AGA, WinUAE, etc)

Once I have patched the last check, a couple of people wanted to playtest the game which is fine by me.

The deal is NOONE spreads any of my versions until I am done... quite simply if anyone does then I will cease work on it and if that means abandoning it when its 99% there, then so be it.... I do NOT want a half finished version appearing on TOSEC only for me to have to update it and make me look fucking lame!

I only want offers of help from owners of A5oo or other 68000 OCS Amiga's. Reply via GLDFLT@AOL.COM

I have an A500 for testing it if you like, its just that I am madly fixing up the house for a move from Perth to Melbourne, hence once its done, the house goes on the market, once THAT happens my A500's and A1200 get packed and i dont know when I will be online again

My Amiga is an ECS.

Please, don't add any emulator bug workarounds. It is my (and Bernd's) problem to fix UAE bugs.

These kind of "fixes" only prevent us to fix real emulator bugs.

Galahad/FLT · 06 April 2002, 14:30

If I don't remove the self modifying encryption then the AGA machines cannot run it, and in its present form, I doubt it would work on WinUAE either!

Would it then work if it was.... Say "Degraded" ?

Stuff turned off in the boot screen ?

Drake1009 · 07 April 2002, 01:02

I never quite got that one. I know you talked about it a bit but I never really got the conclusion right. An A500 with a 512 kb expansion (1 MB total), would that be considered an ECS or OCS machine?

In this particular config that you mentioned it would be considered OCS as it has the following:

512K Chip RAM and 512K Expansion RAM

OCS is plain vanilla chipset.
ECS is the enhanced denise and gary. (new screen modes etc) for an A500

Twistin'Ghost · 07 April 2002, 12:50

But I think his point is that if your chipram is only 512k,then it has to be OCS. 1 meg of chipram typically suggests ECS (even without the enhanced Denise), even if that's not a 100% accurate ECS config. I never had any ECS incompatibility.

And for the record, some clarifications (and corrections) are in order. The Gary remained the same in OCS and ECS. The function of the Gary was for controlling the bus access and for reading floppy disks.

The changes from OCS to ECS chipsets were Denise (8372)>Super Denise (8374) and Agnus>Fat Agnus (or Fat Agnus>Fatter Agnus, depending on who you're talking to...)

whiteb · 20 September 2002, 04:37

To continue in this wonderous (or is it) thread.

Looking around WHDLOAD.de looking throuth the works in progress, and it lists Dragons Breath as "Dragons Breath (Palace), 30% complete (Copy Protection Removed) 25.8.2002 "

Maybe the author of the WHDload patch can be contacted ?gldflt#blueyonder.co.uk replace # with @.

is this our belovedGalahad/FLT ?

Twistin'Ghost · 20 September 2002, 15:52

I believe Galahad has mentioned elsewhere that he is trying to ready the ADF version (and maybe WHD) for a Christmas gift to the Amiga community. We must have patience (and gratitude!)
