Release id #210907 : Briley Witch Chronicles V1.0.1 +DF

Ehrm, this isn't a "bug fix" but just a "work around" in the game.
A bug fix would be a new U64 firmware that can handle the original game properly! The behaviour is a bug in the U64 and not in the game, which works fine on an original EF3.

I am also not 100% sure that the original works on EF3 hardware either. See http://skoe.de/easyflash/files/devdocs/EasyFlash-ProgRef.pdf

Do not rely on the assumption that EasyProg will erase the whole cartridge when a CRT file is flashed. Actually it will only erase sectors which are contained in the CRT file.


It might be pure good luck/chance that nobody ran into issues yet.

I still do it for older versions of the TC64 firmware, even though you mentioned that you now fixed it.

Whats the point? Emufixing only hides bugs that should be fixed instead.

User also might wait a little patiently, until the actual bug is fixed, even when there is an alternative by saving to disk till then. ;)

As for TC64, there really is zero point at all :) As for 1541U/U64 you are actually making it worse by working around the bug - and removing the need to fix it.

Please do not emufix.
