--- Alien Breed II AGA Hard Disk Installer ---

This installer requires the Alien Breed II AGA ORIGINAL disks (there are 3).

FEATURES:

- Full HD loading of the game
- Convenient Installer script (now bugfree)
- F10 quits the game at any time
- HiScores saves on floppy or on harddrive

**WARNING**

Sorry there was a bug in the Rob2File program AND in the installer script
Now this is fixed. Please re-install your game to avoid unexplainable bugs.

***********


IMPORTANT:

To save scores to floppy, just set the NOOSSWAP tooltype/argument.
If you save to hard drive, be careful not to use a copyback cache on your HD partition,
else you could corrupt the partition (but this would only happen if you reset
without quitting the game properly).


The HD-Patched game will need about 5Mb of memory.
It should work on kick 3.x and CPUs higher or equal to 68020. You also need AGA
to run this game :-)
Report me any bugs you'll find.


Note: I created and tested this package with a A1200/060/50 16Mb, so there should
be no problems for all 680x0 CPUs (caches,chipset...). It degrades display properly
so Multiscan users won't have any sprite or screen problem.
The game was also patched for NTSC users.

When the disks are copied during installation, the pointer freezes. That's
normal cause the game uses a custom trackload routine (copy-protection), and
it does not easily multitask. No checks are done to see if you swapped the disks
or not.

If you find some bugs, or the game crashes, please e-mail me (specify your
configuration).
I'm also looking for people who could send me original disks for me to patch them
for 680x0 or write HD-Installers (not for cracked versions)
E-mail me if you're interested, or if you simply like this installer.


** This patch is freely distributable excepted for france festival distribution **

Enjoy this GREAT game from Team 17 on your HD.

Jeff
