F1GP-Ed

F1GP-Ed Documentation

Amiga Formula One


[Contents] [Index] [Help] [Browse <] [Browse >]
Any Amiga computer and an original copy of Formula One Grand Prix / World
Circuit by MicroProse - this must be version 1.02 (this is the only version
in existance as far as I know - see the F1GP Versions section).

Registered users should make sure the "F1GP-Ed.key" file is in the current
dir, or the location specified by the KEYPATH tooltype/cli option.

Disk based libraries that should be in the LIBS: drawer on your boot disk.
Libraries marked "required" must be present for F1GP-Ed to run, while
"optional" libraries don't have to be present, but certain features will
not be available:

   Kickstart 1.x:
      gadtools13.library                (required)
      reqtools.library                  (required)
      icon.library                      (required)
      f1gp.library                      (required)
      amigaguide.library                (optional)
      diskfont.library                  (optional)
      iffparse.library                  (optional)

   Kickstart 2.0 or higher:
      asl.library OR reqtools.library   (required)
      f1gp.library                      (required)
      amigaguide.library                (optional)
      diskfont.library                  (optional)
      locale.library                    (optional)
      iffparse.library                  (optional)

More than 1Mb of free ram is needed, if you want to use the memory patches
or memory load/save features.

The stack needs to be set to at least 4000 bytes either from the icon
information or from the CLI.  KS 2.0+ owners will get error messages to
remind you to set the stack.


COMPATIBILITY

F1GP-Ed will work on all Amigas, and this version has been tested on a
A1200.  With the following kickstarts being put to test: 1.3, 2.05, 3.0,
3.1

A number of memory configurations, accelerators, HDs, etc, were also used.

F1GP-Ed will work fine on all Kickstarts, but it works best with KS 3.x, as
KS 3.x includes various changes which F1GP-Ed takes advantage of. KS 1.x
users may notice slight irregularities - this is due to the imperfect
GadTools emulation.
