REQUEST: WILLOW by Mindscape

Snoopy1234 · 12 June 2023, 07:09

Just putting this here: I've opened an issue on Mantis for requesting an install for Willow by Mindscape. I guess the Disney adaptation folded but it's still an interesting concept.

Thx.

* Willow (Mindscape), 20% complete, unplayable without Preload, too many OS swaps 2023-04-07 StingRay

*http://whdload.de/

Seems like the whdload installer is yet to be completed?

Stingray via Mantis Bug Tracker:
"What am I supposed to answer here? This patch is in progress as can be seen in the WIP section on the WHDLoad site and will be finished one day. Currently it is not so you have to wait. The game uses a rather complex and not easy to follow file loading routine that incorporates a decruncher, and I need to decipher that as I refuse to release a patch that works with a 512 bytes sector loader patch."

Fluxengine has options to image an Amiga disk at 512 bytes sectors or 528 bytes sectors with Metadata.

If the Willow decruncher is located in the Metadata range would a patch be possible for 528 bytes sectors employing a similar approach?
