Interesting. Probably some zeropage conflict? Or ammount of rastertime used by tune? Maybe you could ask Cadaver, author of GoatTracker at www.covertbitops.c64.org

Just use some other cruncher then. If you just need a single file crunched and want to do it on pc use exomizer. You can get it at Lasse's place..

Goattracker uses by default zeropage addresses $fc-$ff and about 16 lines rastertime (yuck :)) |

thanx everyone for your quick replies...
i managed to make it work without really understanding(i hate not understanding things). i was suspicious about a 0 page problem so i tried changing the zero page addresses goat tracker uses, but it did not make any difference. then i decided to cruel crunch . and in the intro pages it says that the cruel cruncher's decruncher messes with $cb - $ff so some programs might not work. it suggests to jsr e3bf (initialize basic ram) and jsr ff5b (initialize scr editor). so i did this in the beginning of my program and now the pucrunched version works without a problem.
what puzzles me is how not initializing basic ram can make my demo crash. and why does not it happen when it first tries to run the demo instead of running nearly one minute without problems...
unfortunately i can not investigate any further about these questions before next week... thanx again |

From experience, PUCrunch can sometimes (although rarely) mess up some bytes after decrunch.
A different cruncher will fix the prob :)

Yeah, I've experienced random crashes with Pucrunch too. Removing or adding code helped :) |
