The patch fixes the usual collection of keyboard, blitter and access fault problems, removes the copy protection and, for registered WHDLoad users only, adds trainer options. Two versions are supported, the original commercial release and the Super Quintet compilation release. Other “cracked” ADF versions may work but have not been tested and are not supported.

• Commandos compilation

If you have any of these versions or know where I can get them, please get in touch!
