Bubba'n'Stix WHDLoad "customs"

[PopoCop]

There are "Custom 1" and "Custom 5" options available to switch on but what are they doing? They are not explained in doc file.

Probably nothing. I noticed this in some other (older) patches too. Maybe there is someting in the slave that triggers the wrong info in the splashscreen.

Nothing. Some old slaves show that kind of a behaviour on WHDLoad 17+.

Nothing to do with WHDLoad v17+, there's no other output than in previous versions for old slaves. Old slaves have to be updated to make use of v17+ features!

Anyway, I just checked the availabe Bubba'N'Stix patch and I don't see any CUSTOM1/5 options at all.

This is not what I meant. I guess most of us are aware that old slaves need to be updated to make use of 17+ features but some of these slaves present some "strange" things on the splash screen (I saw it too) that some users might think about some "secret features" that are not there.

This happens with B'n'Stix when you start the game 2x via WB game icon.







There are WHDLoad Tags in the source. Maybe something was planned i.e. cheats and then never implemented. (A wild guess, i have no clue).

_tag		dc.l	WHDLTAG_CUSTOM1_GET
_custom1	dc.l	0
		dc.l	WHDLTAG_CUSTOM5_GET
_custom5	dc.l	0
		dc.l	0
