It keeps finding $52 or $75 after the sync mark, even if I remove those from track with a hex editor. : : Does anyone know if Vice handles half-tracks properly? It loads further in HOXS, up to 3 blocks remaining, then dies with a checksum error. : : They really pulled out all the stops for this protection: : : If the disk isn't write protected, or you have a second drive attached, you'll get a checksum error right away. The sectors are non-standard GCR, extra long, and without standard header. GCR decoding is done on the c64 instead of in the drive. Density is non-standard, and changes when you move to the half-track. : : I wonder if it was the game's author, Bill Hogue, who wrote this protection? -- [/quote]
File to attach:
(limit 250000 bytes)
