Fast forward in original Lemmings?

I remember things moving a little bit faster when I scrolled so that all the lemmings were off screen.

Yeah, then you are not limited by the blitter... if you nuke the lemmings with all 100 on screen... watch the machine slow down to a crawl due to the shear amount of work the blitter has to do!

I thought I'd hijack this thread for some blunt advertisment, just in case you didn't know :-)

I wrote a Lemmings 2 Level Editor twelve years ago (I think it was my last large 68k assembly language project) and the last release from 1998 includes 33 new levels for you to try. There are some pretty hard and tricky ones (e.g. "Good Luck, Jim!" in the shadow world). The last release comes with a free keyfile.

Enjoy.

What's the keyfile for?

The editor once was shareware and the keyfile unlocks all features.

I downloaded your L2 Editor the other day actually, but I can't figure out how to get it to see my Lemmings 2 installation. When I installed it it asked me where my Lemmings 2 directory was. I pointed it at a directory on the hard drive containing the contents of all three floppies, but it said there was no Lemmings 2 installation there. There is no actual installer on any of the disks, so I can't work out what to do :-?

As stated in the manual and the installer help and readme, the editor needs the HD patch provided by DMA Design. It can be downloaded from Aminet:

http://main.aminet.net/pub/aminet/game/patch/lems2HD.lha

If you place this archive inside the directory "L2Ed-Install", it will automatically detect this and opt to install Lemmings 2 to your harddisk, if you didn't already run the installation inside that archive.

Good luck!
