Short: Run F1GP in NTSC on PAL machine Uploader: kinder teaching physics ox ac uk Type: game/patch Architecture: m68k-amigaos I recently bought Microprose's F1GP for my Amiga, and while being very pleased with it, I felt that the startup routines could be better. In particular, I wanted the game to open an NTSC display (rather than a PAL one with that annoying black area at the bottom of the screen), and I did not like the intro bit, which appears corrupted on my machine. As a result of this, I wrote this program to replace the small "Formula One Grand Prix" program that starts the game. This replacement requires KickStart 2.04 or higher, an Amiga capable of producing an NTSC display (for PAL machines, this means at least a Fat Agnus chip (ie A600, A1200, A3000, A4000, and late model A500, A1500 and A2000s)) and assumes that it is running off a hard drive. On startup "f1gp_disk_#n:" (where n = 1 to 4) is assigned to the current directory (so the file "s:gp.dat" is no longer needed), and the main file "f1gp" executed. OpenScreen() is patched to ensure that the game opens an NTSC screen. This patch is removed when the game is quit.
