Better approach would be to change the subq.l #1 instruction to tst.l, that way you only have to change 1 byte and it's also easily possible to toggle that option on or off. |

Good point, I was actually testing with "SUBQ.L #0,($223D4)" but the assembler didn't like me, hehe. |

Well, the assembler could insert 0 in the quick (3)bit encoding for the instruction but to gain a value the 0 is used as 8, so you can have only a subq from 1 to 8

I always found NOP to be extremely powerful despite the fact that is does nothing. The Romans suffered from not having zero naturally in their number system (although they did use it against modern popular belief), maybe SUBQ should allow immediate zero also? Just a thought...
BTW: $223D4 holds the number of lives, and it's a long word, if anyone still prefers a challenge. There is one caveat however, after going through some of the code, at some point it is actually checked against $223D8 with CMP.L, haven't checked the reason for the check. Anyway, probably best to set both addresses to the same value. |

Zool AGA has self-modifying code issues. I fixed some but didn't fix the corrupt character issue.
CD32 version has one more level & better controls and doesn't have the bug. I now realize that I didn't publish my latest Zool fix with trainer and all... Time to do it |

I didn't specify that I tried Zool 2 AGA HD (which it has far more slowdowns using WHDLoad than Zool AGA). As only JST and WHDLoad installs for Zool AGA. |

Tested CD32 version. Sadly slowdowns are still present :/
Anybody have some kind of CD32 rip that works from HD? JST version seems to also have slowdowns. |

I'm sure a CD32 rip exists. It's not difficult to do. No protection of any kind there. Just put lowlevel/nonvolatile libs and here you go (still need a CD32 joypad to play) There was probably one a long time ago.
Maybe I create a cd32launcher starter for that one: needs cd.device or it crashes, cd.device calls should be patched or you get a red screen and it crashes. Last edited by jotd; 09 May 2019 at 23:23. |

Which reminds me: "Funnily" enough NTSC version crashes with an exception with latest v2.0 WHD slave. Both PAL and NTSC works with v1.2 though. [edit] Scrap that, JST v1.1 took care of that. |

Today I've run Zool CD32 using SimCD32. Game has still slowdowns so unless there is something wrong with my A1200 with turbo card maybe game has to be like this.
