F1GP Versions
=============
I currently know of 3 different versions of F1GP. Unfortunatly, they all
have the same version number (1.02). Here are the differences, sizes and
locations of the "f1gp" binary file which is needed by F1GP-Ed:
| (A) Formula One Grand Prix (4 disks) - Disk 2 - 582992 bytes |
| ====== |
| The original version which is hard-coded for PAL machines. This |
| version has also been re-released on the Powerplus budget label. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| (B) World Circuit (4 disks) - Disk 2 - 582780 bytes |
| ====== |
| US version of F1GP which is hard-coded for NTSC machines. All |
| occurences of "Formula One Grand Prix" text are replaced by |
| "World Circuit". Also, there is no manual selection screen as |
| the English manual is assumed. Same as (A) otherwise. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| (C) Formula One Grand Prix (3 disks) - Disk 1 - 582988 bytes |
| ====== |
| This version of F1GP was bundled with the A600 Wild, Weird & |
| Wicked pack, and hence the intro was omitted to save on disks. |
| There are some minor changes in this version, but the only one |
| I have pin-pointed is the screen position. In (A) & (B) you |
| have to set up the overscan preferences to a certain position, |
| otherwise the left-hand side of the game screen would be |
| *chopped* off, with a black border on the LHS of the screen. |
| This problem seems to have been corrected in this version. |
| Apart from that it's essentially the same as (A). God knows why |
| the 2 keypad keys used by F1GP weren't remapped to keys that are |
| available on the A600 - that's MicroProse for you! |

versions, so go and buy the original now if you have not already done so.
Pirate versions will never be supported, intentionally.
me know so I can support it in F1GP-Ed.
