This installer requires the Monkey Island original disks

Now, this is REALLY an AGA fix, not a 680x0, because the chipset/system caused
problems
unless you booted in ECS mode in the early startup menu.
(hardware stuff mixed with intuition, argh, AGA does not like it that much
when it's shitty coded).

This patch fixes a general GFX problem for Lucasfilm games (Monkey Island 2 and
Fate of Atlantis
have got the same GFX problem). It took me quite a while to find it but that was
worth.

PATCHES DONE:

- Install script using installer
- Needs JST to run (get it on aminet or on my WWW site)
- Main executable patched for AGA computers (took me hours to track down the
problem)
- Main executable patched to remove password protection check (adapted from an
old crack)
- Icon recolored to fit with WB2.0 colors (thanks Iconian :))

BUGS:

- The display is weird until the end of the copy protection.
- When you quit, the post JST script is not executed (JST does not quit)
- If you promote the Monkey Island intuition screen, it will not work properly.
But if
  your default intuition screen is not a PAL/NTSC screen, the display NEEDS to
be promoted
  to a PAL or NTSC screen.
- If you press F8 and you restart, the display will be weird again and you'll be
asked for
  the copy protection again. So don't do it obviously :)

NOTES:

This fix is not useable with a cracked version of Monkey Island made using
Lockpick, because
this fix needs the protection screen to appear. I hope you kept the original
disks untouched...
I did not make it on purpose, but it works this way period.

If you want to leave the VBR untouched, put TRAINER in the tooltypes (sorry
that's not LEAVEVBR).

As the display uses half the system half a custom copperlist, you have to choose
which kind
of display you're on. The USERDATA tooltype will allow you to select a prefs
file.
The PAL prefs file will allow you to run the game on any screen but maybe the
display will be
shifted if you use multiscan. If you use the multiscan prefs on a PAL screen the
display
will simply be black. I think it's due to different overscan settings.
If you want to create your own prefs file, you have to know that it's a part of
a copperlist
that I fixed. You must not change the $8E and $90 words (Display window start
and stop) but you
can change the other 2 words to experiment with your display.

Please send me your remarks!!
