Double Dragon II - Helicopter Sprite

[Old Fool]

As we all know all the versions from this game in TOSEC contains corrupted graphics. The helicopter sprite is corrupted. Does anyone have a version with uncorrupted helicopter sprite?

I browsed the game's sprites via ADFOpus and they all have the same file size in different versions so all are bad. By the way the ACU hacked version works also with Kick1.3 if someone is interested in playing it with A500.

As far as I remember there was nothing ever wrong with the Oracle crack, other than the screen modulo problem on later Amigas.

Hmm that's funny. I've tried those ADF files with WinUAE also with kick1.3 and there was the same problem as with A500. Because the ACU hack is the only working version with kick1.3 I changed the files so that I left only the dragon-EXE FILE from ACU version and changed the other files from other versions. All tries caused the corupted heli graphics.

Maybe the problem lies in the DRAGON EXE file from ACU hack???

68000/1.3,512k Chip, 512k fake fast, cycle exact should do the trick.

Yep, that's important too As otherwise the modulo will be wrong (at least with the first versions of the game).

Yes, but AFAIK (from the top of my head) you didn't have to play that one up to the helicopter part, since in ECS mode (v3.84, does not apply to either of the 4.01 PAL/NTSC or the 4.16 NTSC version!), the graphics error used to appear right at the start, i. e. immediately after loading the intro part...
Unless I'm confusing it with another OCS-only game, Hewson's Eliminator.

If you try to play the unmodified version eg. ORIGINAL version of this game with Kickstart 1.3 you'll get graphic garbage since this game is made only to work with machines KS1.2.

ACU hacking group managed to modify it to work on A500 with KS1.3 but the different colour helicopters on each level are looking garbaged.

Would there be someone who could correct this little but annoying error to work correctly on mahcines with KS1.3?

.... Anyone? ... .....StingRay..?

Not quite correct, the problem is the Chipset, not the Kickstart. OCS = no problems, ECS = modulo bug (=trashed graphics). I'll see about creating a fully 680x0/AGA fixed version.

You can have the source to my WHDLoad install if you like, will save time

Wonderful news guys! Thanks already!

I'll hope it's not too time consuming to fix it. How ever don't put it things to do list before The Plague trainer...
