Release id #187773 : Alternate Reality - The City +11D
With a dramatically improved saver and a trainer, it is now much much easier to live long enough to stumble into the original game's bugs!
Notably:
- Certain potion effects (Potions of Protection +1/+2) modify the wrong area of memory and may not actually provide any benefit whatsoever.
- These potion-related memory trashes can affect playfield graphics like door labels and mountain backdrops.
- Too many potion effects will crash the game!
- Banks may exhibit erratic behavior at times.
- Upon transitioning from a building back to the game map, the game sometimes "forgets" whether you are outdoors or in an "enclosed area."
- The game mostly hides the mirroring of door labels, but forgets to do so in certain types of Enclosed Areas, so words like "SHOP" and "TAVERN" will appear reversed on the bottom of the door.
- In silent interiors there's a horrible buzzing sound when the SID should probably just be turned off. |

@hedning: nice that you voted 10, couldn't see as your votes are hidden. Cool!
Don't think IFFL is really the priority here with this release. The priority has been addressed by Fairlight, which is a working crack. Secondary to this would be to make a 101% version with bug fixes of the original in-game bugs. Adding IFFL to "look sexy" is not the same as "is sexy". :P
Good work Fairlight, thanks for your hard work! |

I didn't expect any other answer from you than that, as you seem to be the FLT fan #1, even listing FLT oldie cracks in your first release list as "honourable mentions" even if they are not first releases, while forgetting other more awesome ones; but you are right. This crack is perfectly working, and I do not complain. It's a 10. No question about it. Good work Bacchus! I just adressed stuff that could have been better. Is that wrong in any sense? It's not like this crack had to be rushed or anything. |

If there is a fully working crack, for the first time, it is mentioned in the list. It may not get points but it is mentioned. If there is releases missing or if there is any mistakes, please message me and I will update it (I am usually pretty quick with the correction). |

Good to know. Great to see you this active again by the way. We have missed you. :D |

Quoting BacchusNo IFFL on the market supports real native save (ULoad might - haven't dug into it).
No, it only supports overwriting already existing files. No file creation or allocation of new blocks.
And IFFL is more pain than gain. It makes supporting some drives much harder, and the scanning takes time and effort. Unless the game is so big that it won't fit on a disk without it, it doesn't add anything other than a pretty directory.
On to 101% instead! |

Oh and downvoters are just silly. According to them the last release of U4r is the worst :D
CSDb should just remove all anonymous votes. |
