This install applies to "Future Wars/Les Voyageurs Du Temps" © 1990 Delphine This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path. It can be found in the WHDLoad package. The installed program requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 1.0 MB OtherMem. It can be quit by pressing num '*' (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey="). The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image. The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet. If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with an appropriate requester. Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive "util/boot/skick345.lha" on aminet. If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page. If that doesn't help try some Tooltypes like NOCACHE, NOAUTOVEC, NOVBRMOVE, NOMMU, PAL or NTSC. If that also fails, please inform the author via the Bug-Report-Form which can be accessed on the WHDLoad WWW-Page.

I think the U.S. (with paintspot protection) was not affected. Thanks to P. Bareges for reporting them and testing. I think v3.0 is the final release (but who knows :)) - To upgrade from 2.x or 1.x to 3.0, just reinstall, or copy the file called "startup-sequence" in data/s (create s directory if needed) - If you've got a saves disk, you can copy its contents in the game directory. - This install meant hard work for me because I had to crack both protections using 2 different methods. Existing cracks did not work for me (OS problem?, were they really cracks or protected versions? bad cracks?) - Sometimes the paintspot code protection is still active That happens in some very rare cases. If it happens, just quit using quitkey and restart. I ran the game dozens of times and it only occured once. This is a tough protection, not a Gremlin Graphics style one, so let's leave it like that. - Thanks to Chris Vella / Olivier Schott / Christian Sauer / Juergen Borgmeyer for original disk images - Thanks to dosgraveyard.com for their pdf document on Future Wars - The install should also work with cracks, although it's not guaranteed.
