Building From Source
This project is cross-compiled on an x86 Ubuntu Linux system. However other similar Linux-base systems (or a Linux virtual environment on another OS) can likely be made to work quite easily.
Build and install bebbo's GCC v6 port for Amiga. GCC has prerequisites that are listed in the README, along with instructions on how to install them in various environments. The build can be done to a private path in your home directory, for example:
cd $HOME
mkdir -p install
git clone https://github.com/bebbo/amiga-gcc
cd amiga-gcc ; make update
make all -j8 PREFIX=$HOME/install
The compiler must be on your PATH when building other prerequisites and the game patches themselves:
export PATH=$HOME/install/bin:$PATH
Install Python v3 and the crcmod package. These can be
installed on Ubuntu as follows:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
pip3 install --user crcmod
Build and install my Amiga file packer. This can be built in a local folder and does not require full installation:
sudo apt install zopfli
git clone https://github.com/keirf/Amiga-Stuff.git
cd Amiga-Stuff/inflate && make
This requires Python, and the package itself can be installed via Python PIP. On Ubuntu for example:
sudo apt install python python-pip
pip install --user amitools
Note that user install of amitools will require ~/.local/bin on your PATH.
If you are going to convert IPF images to ADF (see Installing original disk images, below) using my disk analyser, this must first be installed. Follow the instructions here, paying particular attention to the section IPF & CT Raw support.
IPF images can then be converted to ADF by:
disk-analyse in.ipf out.adf
Install prerequisites as above. Then:
git clone https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy-autoswap.git
cd flashfloppy-autoswap
ln -s path/to/Amiga-Stuff/inflate pack
Each patched title requires the original disk images. The appropriate images can usually be found in the SPS IPF library (reference numbers indicated below) but will require converting to ADF format using HxC software or disk-analyse. The required exact location and naming of ADF files is described for each title below:
SPS IPF 207. The ADF images should be copied to the folder bass/Orig/ in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named bass_00.adf, bass_01.adf, and so on.
SPS IPF 851. The ADF images should be copied to the folder atlantis/Orig/ in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named atlantis_01.adf, atlantis_02.adf, and so on.
SPS IPF 1625. The ADF images should be copied to the folder monkey1/Orig/ in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named mi_01.adf, mi_02.adf, and so on.
The Kixx release (manual protection removed) is recommended, as the AutoSwap patch does not include a crack. This can be found on the EAB FTP server or Google Drive, and simply be unzipped as-is into the monkey2/ folder in this Git repository: monkey2/MonkeyIsland2Kixx/MonkeyIsland2Disk1.adf and so on.
The Fairlight crack is required (Mortal Kombat (1993)(Acclaim)[cr FLT](Disk x of 3).adf). These should be copied to the folder MortalKombat/FL_Crack in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named mk_01.adf, mk_02.adf and mk_03.adf.
The Crystal crack is required (Gobliiins (1991)(Coktel Vision)(M5)[cr CSL](Disk x of 3).adf). These should be copied to the folder gobliiins/CSL_Crack in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named Gobliiins01.adf, Gobliiiins02.adf and Gobliiins03.adf.
The cracked version hosted on Emuparadise is required (www.emuparadise.me/Amiga_ROMs/Flashback/6173). These should be copied to the folder Flashback/Orig in this Git repository. The ADF files should be named Flashback_Disk1.adf, and so on.
With everything set up, building the set of patched game titles for distribution is as simple as:
cd flashfloppy-autoswap
make dist
If you wish to build only one title then run make from the title's subfolder. For example:
cd monkey1 && make
- Beneath a Steel Sky and Secret of Monkey Island depend on Disk 1 of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. This must be installed at atlantis/Orig/atlantis_01.adf to successfully build these titles.
