This installer requires the Monkey Island 2 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
- A data file patched to remove password protection check (adapted from an old crack)

BUGS:

- 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.

NOTES:

The crack patch will only work for the english version. Sorry I did not have time
to look at a generic crack yet (it's not the purpose of the installer)

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!!
