--- Shadow Of The Beast 3 Hard Disk Installer ---

This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Shadow Of The Beast 3,
PAL or NTSC version (there are 2 game disks, the intro is not HD installable).
It should NOT work for cracked versions.

The HD-Patched game will need about 1.5Mb of memory if you use the HDLOAD tooltype.
3Mb if you don't use it (files cached in RAM).


FEATURES:

- Full HD/RAM load of the game, using real files instead of diskfiles.
- Convenient installer script
- Uses JST (you need the JST package in order to run this game)
- Patched for full CD32 Joypad/2-button joystick use
- Blitter bug fixed (did not work on some 68060 configurations)
- Now both NTSC and PAL versions are supported, and can run indifferently in PAL or NTSC
  (there were a country check, but the only difference between the 2 versions is the 'main' file)
- F5 key allows you to quit the game anytime.
- Original trainer keys activated (<- ->). Thanx to Abaddon for the cheat.
- Low memory consumption owing to the HDLOAD tooltype (runs on a stock A1200/2MB)
- Full use of fast memory and full memory control
- Fixed drive problem on rippsyfiles command
- Fixed 68000 compatibility


I completed the game using this loader so I think it works rather well.

INSTALLING THE GAME:

- Click on the Install icon provided.
- Select destination directory
- Choose source drive from DF0: to DF3:
- Insert disks when prompted
- Enjoy

The installer checks that you inserted the correct disk. In case of problem
during the installation, you can partially re-install the game by hand using
the rippsyfiles command.

After that you just have to adjust the tooltypes and start the game by clicking on
the SOTB3HD icon.

IN-GAME KEYS:

I remind you the original game keys

- ESC  : lose a life and restart
- HELP : restart
- F10  : return to menu
- SPACE: scroll through inventory
- cursor right: invincibility
- cursor left : normal

JOYPAD tooltype allows to use the joypad extra buttons

- RED: normal fire
- BLUE (second button on a 2 button joystick): weapon change
- START: pause
- FORWARD: invincibility
- BACKWARDS: remove invincibility
- GREEN: restart part


Enjoy this cool game from Psygnosis on your HD. It really improves gameplay.
