A lunchtime discussion (somehow) got on to the subject of assembly language programming, and I was of course asked “So, what’s it like programming in assembly then?”.

(more...)I’ve released a new WHDLoad patch for Kingsoft’s gravity cave fighter, Gravity Force.
The patch fixes the usual collection of keyboard, blitter and access fault problems as well as adding the (equally usual) trainer and anti-copy-protection options. Two versions are supported, the original commercial release (which seems to be very rare!) and the more common PD release. Other “cracked” ADF versions may work but have not been tested and are not supported. In addition, registered WHDLoad users can use the second fire button to fire the ship’s weapons.
Download the patch, instructions and pre-installed image from girv dot net or from the Official WHDLoad Website.
