As mentioned in a previous article, I’ve been working on an update to my WHDLoad patch for Tengen’s Hard Drivin’. This version has now been released to the wild!

Support for the “Racing Masters” compilation version has been added, as well as a number of miscellaneous fixes and improvements to the icons and installer script.

I’m still searching for three rare compilation versions of Hard Drivin’ as below:

• Action 5 compilation
• Summer Smashers compilation
• Sport Games Hits compilation

If you have any of these versions or know where I can get them, please get in touch!

Download the patch, instructions and pre-installed image from girv dot net or from the Official WHDLoad Website.

I’ve released an updated WHDLoad patch for Kaiko’s insecty shooter Apidya.

This release fixes a bug in the game’s collision detection that would prevent entry to the bonus rounds on level 2 and 4.

Back in 1999 I created a version of Daleks in Javascript. It’s been offline for some time as, by today’s standards (if not 1999′s) it uses some very, very bad Javascript and HTML. But I’ve now hammered it back into some sort of working order for modern browsers and it kind of mostly works. Sorta. You get it…

Is it legal to write programs to patch old Amiga games so that they will work on newer Amiga hardware than they were designed for? This is a posting I made in the excellent English Amiga Board forums regarding the legality (or lack thereof) of WHDLoad patches for old Amiga games.
