Type : game/patch
Author : Jean-François Fabre (jffabre@free.fr)
Install-Script & HD-loader © 2001 Jean-François Fabre
Wings is © 1990 Cinemaware
Features:
- Runs fully from HD using WHDLoad with OSEmu
- Convenient install script
- Quit key (numerical '*', or configurable with QUITKEY)
- Docfile included
- Original quit menu still active (and saves pilot data)
- Document protection removed (thanks Skid Row)
- Nice icons by Chris Vella and Frank
Note:
- The game works OK in DOS mode, except that I'm not sure the music is played.
- I started working on this game in November 2000, but I had a hell of a time
understanding and emulating overlay executables with OSEmu. I also re-wrote
console.device emulation (I could have avoided that since now KickEmu/KickDos
makes it possible :) )
Now it works, and it will allow to make some other patches when overlay exe
is used.
- The game should be downloadable from www.cinemaware.com in the next weeks/months
- You may experiment some slight gfx problems (at level 3). I spent a lot of time
trying to fix it, but I could not. So I give it up (I'm not as good as I used
to be ;))
