Release id #72550 : Edge of Disgrace
So looking at the .d64 sizes it looks like they are normal 35-track disks, so the rumors of 40-tracks were unfounded? |

Can someone elaborate on the HCB gfx mode? What possibilities and advantages does it have? |

Quote: Well, that would be very good news indeed as I have no way of transferring a 40 track disk (I own a XE cable, but threw away the old pc I used it with a while ago). Gonna try right away tonight so I can really see the demo the way it was meant to: on the old breadbox, not in an emu :)
Checked it, worked like a charm. No need for 40 tracks copy tricks ;) |

I noticed that in the Terminator Girl part, while the pic is scrolling up, the "Edge Of Disgrace" logo shows a dotted vertical line, also scrolling upward.
This behaviour can be seen on a real C64 machine, not in the emulator VICE.
I think I have seen a similar thing in Tsunami/BD.
Why is that? |

its the grey dot bug in the new Vic-II(85xx). when you write to a color register while the Vic is using it a gray dot is drawn. its often smaller than a pixel and fades away after awhile(or is not displayed atall).
the c64c also displays a glitch in the dancefloor part. contrary to the grey dot its a stable effect(and emulated in Hoxs). |

? I never saw the "grey dot bug" fading away, it shows all the time at my place :).
I don't think there is any such stuff in Tsunami, but possibly in Cycle..

I once used a C128 where the grey dot was "fading away". I had the impression it had to do with the temperature, not sure though. The C64 I am using at the moment displays it all the time. |

a gray (sub)pixel exposed at the same position for a longer period of time may flicker,sometimes disappears completely. this behaviour varies between all the c64c`s i have. its possible that temperature has an influence,one of my machines occasionally shows solid pixels but they start to flash after an hour or so |

Interresting.. with the fading stuff...
I have a few where the bug is either present or not, between each power cycle and some where it is always present. Reset has no effect, but a power cycle will either enable or disable the bug.
Can't remember if I ever figured out if that particular behaviour was VIC or board related, though.

Was exactly the same for the c64c that I had. VSP would also crash the c64 mainly but after a few power cycles, it would be alright |
