I have original disks for the c64, but I am not able to getting a fully working image. tried mnib with a modded 1571 drive and it wont get past protection. It could be the fact I am using a 1571. anyone have a modded 1541 that can try to get a clean burn? |

Greetings. Someone has already dumped Alternate reality the city. If you have any other disks that need dumping, I'd like to help. Where are you located? Yes, using anything other than a modified 1541 to dump disks will often get you mixed results with some protection schemes. |

cool. I originally obtained my master discs to get a working, uncracked, copy of AR the city for the c64. Every cracked version, on the net, didn't work. I did dump my copies with a modded 1571, so that may be reason they are still flawed. If I provide proof of ownership, may I get a good image dump of the city discs? Thanks |

May I get a good dump of the city discs, if I provide proof of original copy ownership? |

Wait wait! Lord Slappy, let's try harder to get your version imaged, because *there are different code variants of AR: The City out there* and only one of these variants has a working version in C64PP. The City is super-finicky in a lot of different ways. I myself just imaged a new set of disks twice and only got one working version. Can you share your output .nib files? Also, can you provide a screen cap (digital photo is fine) of your original working on the main gameplay Floating Gate screen? Something like the attached. (The charset gives a hint about which code version of The City is running!) |

How far do you get when you load your nonworking version? |

It rattles the drive for a while and then resets to BASIC. Doesn't make it to the plaintext credits screen. Pete says he got both nibs to correct properly, so maybe it's in the nib->g64 conversion step that things fell down. But my broader point about really, really wanting to find a good working image with the elusive WORK ALLOCATION screen stands. |

This game uses weak bits on track 1. It works best if you use nibwrite -f5. Otherwise the weak bit area may not be complete and the game will later have problems or crash. It's a time bomb protection. |
