4 floppies isn't that much and floppy swapping is cool/sexy/whatever! :) "please insert diskside 8" - whooa, it means I'm doing good and the end is near... :)
You would need to swap disks while rendering each frame. There is not enough ram to hold both graphics, game state and render code. So with ROM code is swapped in an out ALOT to render a single frame. |

I’m sure the excellent cracker groups out there will provide a disk version. ;) |

Surely there is less than 228kB required for any given locality though? Then "all" you need to do is cache current data on a swap disk :D
I'm sure the crackers will take care of that in a matter of minutes once the port is released. After all, there are points at stake!

it seems my subtopic is moving into the usual pseudocracking/introlinking maelstrom-talk nobody can escape :)
my intention was different: I just wanted to know if a floppy version was doable or not. I got the answer, which AFAIK makes this game the first EF only.
Would be interesting to see if this sets a new standard, more pure EF games will follow or it's an exception. |

mmmh, so true, how could I forget PoP? :) and I did some research before posting, like I thought Caren was EF only but 1.1 was on d64 too. |
