|Why this Re-release ? |
|--------------------- |
|We originally released this game in december 2006. |
|Then sometime later we found out there was a couple of bugs with the loader: |
| |
|* The scanner only detected 1541 drives properly from device #8 - FIXED! |
| |
| This bug was caused by Action Replay and Retro Replay. Those carts set |
| register $1802 to $7a, but doesnt put the original value back ($1a) |
| So when I send "UI" the drive chokes and forces the 1541 to device number #8 |
| So if you ran it from device #9 you suddenly loose connection. |
| This bug only happened if you loaded the boot file with AR/RR fastloader ON. |
| Turning drive on and off after loading boot file would set $1802 properly. |
| |
|* The loader on CMD HD didnt work - Fixed! |
| |
| It was a tiny patch bug. |
| |
|* The loader for 1541 drives only worked as device #8 - Fixed! |
| |
| We forgot to mask the device number bits of $1800 in the source code. |
| |
|* Some people with jiffydos had problmes running this game. It turns out that |
| even my disk original doesnt work with jiffydos. The reason is the "load" |
| basic calls. When a Load is called from basic, Jiffydos jumps in and pre- |
| sniffs on the device line. It tries to communicate with the drive. |
| Or should i say, It tries to communicate with N0SD0S. |
| That won't work! So disable Jiffydos on your C64/C128 or you won't be able |
| to run this game. |
| |
|Requirements: |
|------------- |
|C64/C128(D) with a 1541 drive. |
| |
|If wanted you can play this game using: |
|1570,1571 (must run in 1541 formatted disk) |
|Oceanic and other 1541 clones. |
|1581, CMD FD 2000, CMD FD 4000, CMD HD |
|IDE64 with idedios v0.9x+ |
|REU with 256 kb (use the transfer option) |
|REU with 512 kb (use the decrunch option) |
| |
|How to load: |
|------------ |
|Insert the boot disk. |
|Load and run the boot file, then insert the game disk |
|Characters will be saved onto the game disk. |
| |
|How to copy: |
|------------ |
|You can use filecopy on all files or backup complete disks. |
|You can use maverick's 1541/1581 copier to copy the game to a 1581 disk |
|Use fcopy (from cmd) to copy the game to cmd devices. |
|Do not use cmd with 1581 formatted disks, it must run in native mode. |
|When copying to 1581 or cmd, remember to place the boot file and game file |
|in the same dir. |
