ADFFS 2.84 public beta

[JonAbbott]

@Jon: With today's build, Hero Quest is broken.
It shows a message asking about original disk, then if you click "Cancel" it hangs on the picture of the city after the initial text sequence.

Seems I broke something between testing and the final release, I'll get it fixed.

Should be fixed with the latest obey.zip

I've just uploaded some some additional games that I'm testing. You'll need to update obey.zip for some of them to work.

Pushy II didn't require a lot of work to 32bit, so although its relying on ADFFS for the script to patch it, its not running under ADFFS. As it supports 640x400x24bpp, I've added a 50Hz Mode Module, although what it will do on EDID I don't know - I've not tested it fully. It 640x400 doesn't work, switch it to 640x480 in the Wimp menu.

The Great Giana Sisters - doesn't have sound. I've yet to check if that's normal, or if it's the latest version.

World Championship Boxing Manager - already available in Champions and was only added so I could create the script to correct the aspect ratio.

The Swarm - added so I could check it's aspect ratio

Chaos Engine / Twinworld [32bit version] - updated to add the aspect ratio correction.

I didn't even know there was a version of Gianas for the Archimedes. What a curious case! In fact, I see it doesn't have any sound.

Updated build in the OP, which will become the next stable release.

@Jon: I was testing the latest build in the OP, and Fireball II hangs if it's run a second time without rebooting.
Same if it's run after Lemmings, for example.

Thanks, I'll investigate.

Could you try the non-overlay build (run ADFFS550 manually) and let me know if you still see the issue.

@Jon:
I ran the non-overlay version and indeed those problems don't happen at all: I can run whatever I want several times without rebooting and there are no problems.
So there's some small thing wrong with the overlay stuff not being properly freed when quitting a game, I gues...
