Bytehunter brings you Body Blows CD-32... Released 04-07-1994 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! DON'T DELETE THIS FILE! IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!! This was a very silly fix, i think anyone could have done this, but since i've seen complaints about that this game doesn't work on a computer with just 2 MB of chip memory i decided to release it anyway. The included program MemRun can be very usefull, especially for all you out there with only chip memory! If you only have chip memory this game will reset your computer and then immeditely launch the game. DON'T PANIC! !!! DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE TO JOY CONTROLS IN THE GAME MAIN MENU !!! I didn't bother to fix the joystick problem that arise when you should enter your name in the hiscore list. That is, you can't delete any characters that you've entered, but since the game doesn't save the hiscore list this isn't to cry about! I've also heard that this game doesn't run all that well on computers with a 68030 processor... Since all my friend with a 030 have deleted their Body Blows copy i couldn't try this out. It might be a data cache problem, so if you own a 030 you can try and add the NOCACHE switch to MemRun... !!! INSTALLATION !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Move directory BodyBlowsCD to the main directory. (=To the parrent directory) Then delete the BodyBlows directory containing the BBCD file... Then unpack the LHA archive in the main directory. !!! IMPORTANT: BEFORE RUNNING THE GAME !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copy MemRun to your C directory. This file must be found after reset, alternative you can enter the complete path to this files in the game script file. NOTE: Not needed if you have fast memory. DON'T REMOVE MemRun from the script file, if you do so the game can't be started. About MemRun -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the big one! Especially for all you out there with a A1200 and no fast memory! With this program you can get all the games that need a lot of memory to run with a simple mouseclick! If you already have a game where you need to boot your computer with no startup-sequence and then start the game, then you know how hard it is! Some games even require that you replace the startup-sequence with the game script file for getting it to work... I will not describe the procedure to use for getting those games to run, i'm too lazy for that right now! Try and ask any experienced Amiga owner! I think that he can figure it out... Hint: Use switch RESET... Options for MemRun -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCRIPT (MUST ALWAYS BE SPECIFIED) Script file that will be executed after the rebooting of your machine. ALLOC Enter here all segments that the game uses but doesn't allocate. This requires that you dissassembles the game and check it out, if you can't? Then use switch RESET instead. Switches for MemRun -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTOR Do you have important this happening in your startup-sequence? Well then add this switch and run selector from the startup-sequence, after all important stuff, but not to late if you are low on memory. This means that you must copy selector to C or enter the complete path in your startup- sequence. KILLFLOPPY Use this if the game doesn't use any floppy drives. KILLINPUT Use this if the game doesn't use any system input. SCRBLANK Use this if the screen gets fucked up. NOCACHE Use this if the game can't be run with cache on. ZEROVBR Use this if the game assumes that vbr is set to zero. RESET Use this on all games that you can run if you reboot your system and execute the game script! It's still system hostile but at least the games will run! (Alternative to ALLOC if you don't know how to use that option, or if ALLOC isn't needed!)
