Virocop AGA NTSC version?

kremiso · 23 December 2023, 11:28

just noticed this error message when running the AGA version of this game in NTSC (ipf test)

the game search for a VirocopNTSC file that isnt in the disk
so i can presume a dedicated NTSC version was also released bitd?

IDK if a dedicated NTSC version was released. Askboot is used to determine PAL/NTSC config in the AGA SPS [1920] ipf. It is the only AGA ipf listed.
Both ss and WB load scripts require VirocopPAL and VirocopNTSC to be there however the VirocopNTSC file isn't present on that ipf. Maybe someone with an original AGA disk could verify.

EDIT: There is 65k empty on the Virocop AGA Program disk. The VirocopPAL program is 347k so there's no room for another VirocopNTSC program. Maybe the sequence is designed to default on NTSC machines. I.e. Pal only.

exactly
maybe the program disk was released in the US with the other file instead

or its another file remained in the Braybrook private hard disk

the pal version seems to work fine also in ntsc, but the screen is vertically centered when in pal, so it is a bit truncated when in ntsc
