ACHTUNG CRACKERS!

In order to help with the research in this thread it'd be great if in case you stumble about some kind of "check RAM for suspicious patterns" routine (which you would then probably disable in the crack) post it here, preferably together with a link the exact original you used, and perhaps some hint on how to find that routine in memory - i want to make test cases from these routines and finally work out a RAM init pattern that works with all of them.

Two such routines which have already been found and made into test cases are here (from Platoon Tape and Darkstar BBS Disk).

Thanks in advance - you help making emulation better!

update: so far such routines (trying to detect memory that was cleared by cartridges) have been extracted from "Freeload" and "Cyberload" ... it'd be great to see some more (especially one that tries to detect "randomness" instead of just looking for a page of constant values)

Rack'It loader does... uhm the V-Max V1 version of Star League Baseball iirc. But it checks IO pattern, which I think you emulate already.
