Fix CPU detection code. The TSR will now display an error message on 8086 / 286 CPUs, rather than crashing.

This is another ADPATCH update. This update adds patches for Apogee's Dark Ages and for a couple of early Taito games: Arkanoid 2, Bubble Bobble, Rastan and Qix.

Also included is a new program, OPLRESET, which resets the OPL2LPT.

This is a small ADPATCH update. The other programs haven't changed.

  • ADPATCH can now patch several versions of Apogee's Rise of the Triad.
  • ADPATCH can now patch Adlib Tracker II.

(The official build of Adlib Tracker II is compressed with UPX, it first needs to be decompressed using that tool before it can be patched.)

The internals of ADPATCH have been redesigned. New games that can be patched:

  • a lot of LucasArts games
  • Blood, perhaps other BUILD engine games that didn't work before
  • another version of the Miles audio engine ("ADLIB.MDI")
  • some Apogee games: Hocus Pocus, Realms of Chaos

On 386 systems, all of these, except for Blood, would have worked with the TSR. But the LucasArts games might be nice for 286 owners.

ADLIPT

OPL3 mode

Support for OPL3LPT boards in full OPL3 mode was added.

Sound Blaster FM emulation

The TSR can now also intercept the Sound Blaster FM ports in addition to the standard Adlib ports. It won't however fake enough of a Sound Blaster to pass installation checks (that might happen in a future releast), so for now this is mostly useful if you already have a Sound Blaster.

For OPL2LPT this helps with games that use Creative's SBFMDRV and thus don't support Adlib cards.

For OPL3LPT this will often be necessary to get games to use their OPL3 sound track.

Hardware reset

The TSR will now reset the OPL2/OPL3 chip when you load or unload it.

ADPATCH

@codedwrench contributed patches for Wacky Wheels, Duke Nukem 3D and SCUMM games such as Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

OPL3TEST

A new test program for OPL3LPT boards is included.

  • TSR: The 'patching' optimization now works with QEMM and JEMM as well as EMM386.
  • ADPATCH: Added some new patches, including for the Miles Audio Interface Library and the WORX Toolkit.

The TSR is now much faster. This will especially be noticed by owners of 386 systems.
(Sadly, MOD players seem to be confused by this chance. If you have problems, you can use the parameter NOPATCH to get the old behavior.)

For the next release I'll probably focus on ADPATCH.
