Add Hard Nova

[tomojira]

Adding Hard Nova (1990) (Electronic Arts)

Source Media

• Installed from 3.5" floppy disks matching The Good Old Days ID: 3249
• Disks also match TDC#23 Entry: Hard Nova (1990)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [IMA][720k][!]
• DoDAT cannot build this directly from the disk images (files are in containers)

Installation Options

VGA OR MCGA Color Graphics
Adlib
Hard or Ram Disk
Drive: C:
Directory: HARDNOVA (Default)

It must then be installed a second time, using the same options except MT-32 instead of Adlib, to create the MT-32 version of WARHUB.EXE

Official Patches

No official patch is necessary.

DOSC Contents

• Auto start
• Modified HARDNOVA.BAT to fix missing sound issue. This BAT file is needed to choose between starting a new character or continuing an existing one. But it's also broken and renames AMS.CFG to A.CFG for some reason, causing music and sound to always be disabled. I removed the lines that did that.
• Copy protection patch
• Direct mouse enabled
• cpu_year: 1990 is set. The title screen seems too fast, but reducing the speed causes the cursor to flicker more or even become invisible sometimes.
• MT-32 option, using an XOR patch to copy WARHUB.EXE

Installation Variants
