Yes, but I have already opened a thread in the WinUAE support forum. Hopefully Toni will fix this soon.

Having only recently realised that the same geezer I discovered years ago via the 2 years mix on NSB (Everybody, Destiny, Bodyhammer, that Rude Girl Skank/BoB bootie and Monsters are still serious tunes) was also hydlide/quartz that mixed one of my favourite old music disks "Project Techno" finding this follow up made my day. When the Super Sharp Shooter remix kicked in I thought that this was either serendipity or one of the greatest coincidences I've ever heard of.

LL Cool J - It Gets No Rougher, one of the loops is also sampled from another LL Cool J song called Eat Em Up L Chill, I didn't recognise it at the time SSS was released but that Fred Wesley sample was already a cliche by the time Zinc used it.

@Stingray

Can you re-up the fixed ADF for A500/600.

Thanks, John

Okay, some messing about in a hex editor and I managed to "fix" this myself.

As Stingray stated, BSR.L does not work on 68000 Amiga.

Firstly I had to find out what is hexcode for this instruction, it is 61 FF which I found at offset 0x1E in the ADF.

Apparently the FF denotes the following address is a 32bit long, but we want a 16bit word that the 68000 can understand. So you change the FF to 00 which gives us a BSR.W instruction.

Then change the following 32 bit address "00 00 00 18" to a 16 bit one "00 18".

That left me with a gap of 00 00 before the rest of the code. So I put in a NOOP (4E 71) to fill the space. No idea if this was even necessary. (Since I have no real idea what I'm doing )

Great! But the boot block checksum is now invalid and the Amiga won't run it. Disaster! So I found a simple tool on aminet to recalculate the checksum called "bb"

bb -c DF0:
Recalculated from
5B 34 D0 B2 to
5B 1C 83 58

And voila! The A600 runs the disk successfully and I hear the sweet sounds of the Hoffman on my TV.

Since I know practically zero about any of this I had a lot of fun playing about it with this Sunday afternoon

edit:
Fixed ADF here: http://zaphod.hacked.jp:60000/eab/8-...sk1-3-A600.adf

edit2:
I also made a FLAC recording of the demo straight from the back of an A1200 with a 60% stereo mix down (ala SOAMC). Since the mp3 in the zip file is mono, this might be preferable to some:

any chance of a re-upload i think the link is dead, cheers.

Seeing as this thread has been bumped - I'd just like to also add how amazing these mods are! The production is spot on and these regularly get played here still.

Can anyone recommend any other jungle style demos with mods of this quality on?

Anyone else have a version working on the Amiga 500? Link is dead

Sorry for the reply on an old post, but maybe someone is looking for the same fixed disk.
It's on the turran file server, search for "f bootblock hoffman - StingRay"
