Uploader: Codetapper/Action (codetapper@hotmail.com)
Version:  1.2
Type:     game/patch

This patch applies to "Beyond the Ice Palace" (c) 1988 Elite - 1 disk.
Supported: - Original release (Stephen Misfud and David Aiau)
           - Encore re-release (Carlo Pirri)
           - Battleships/Beyond the Ice Palace compilation (IFW/CAPS)

REQUIREMENTS:
- Slave requires WHDLoad V10+ and RawDIC
- Game requires 512k chip mem (+250k other memory for preload option)

VERSION 1.0: (18-Aug-1999)
- Full load from HD
- 24-bit access fault fixed
- CPU dependant loops fixed
- Highscores are saved
- Trainer option added (set CUSTOM1=1 for unlimited lives and spirits)
- NI/ROM icon (created by JHZ)
- Quit option

VERSION 1.1: (13-Dec-1999)
- Trainer improved
- Fixed empty dbf loops
- Saves high scores (done by Codetapper)

VERSION 1.2: (Codetapper)
- Supports another 2 versions 
- Imager completely re-written with checksums for safety
- Loading picture is now displayed (on 2 versions)
- Now detects quit key correctly on all CPU's
- Trainer can be toggled in-game with the Help key
- Control setup screen before starting the game removed
- Instructions included
- RomIcon, NewIcon and OS3.5 Colour Icon (created by me!) and an OS3.5
  boxicon (created by Captain^HIT!)

It is strongly advised that you re-install the game because a number of
major changes have been made to it - the game files are now stored in a
data subdirectory, the disk image is now the correct size (previously too
big which causes corruption of the loading picture - which wasn't ripped!)
and the high scores are now encrypted and only saved if you do not cheat.

I have removed the annoying control setup screen that appears before
starting the game.  This means you can now play this game on a CD.  The
default keys are Return to summon the spirit, Del to pause and Space to
unpause.  If you want to change the keys you can do that from the menu.

Thanks to Bored Seal for the original install, Stephen, David, Carlo and
IFW/CAPS for the originals, Captain^HIT for the great icon, Wepl for
WHDLoad, all Action members and the WHDLoad team!
