Note:
Chrono Quest is the english version of Explora (french). It is published by
Psygnosis. There are some differences like title screen design and musics
created by David Whittaker have been added. You can listen them with
Delitracker or Eagleplayer, it's the file "trcode" in data dir.


The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts"
and must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a
A500 with tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will
quit with a appropriate requester.
Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the
same directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
"util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.
