"1. Ending a part with a stackpointer of 0, so the next JSR will definitely crash."
oh please. JSR works just fine no matter what SP is, you should know that. its the depacker that would rely on SP being $fx and crashes if its not. (and i still call that a bug in the depacker)

sorry for that, i got used to doing that because it makes it easier to spot places where proper SP initialization is missing =P

and noone used SED before jmp $ce00 ? boring =) (missing CLD is another bug in the depacker, imho)

Now the Wonderland demo is finished I find the time to add a bit of development background here.

This demo of the year was a really nice lesson on sabotage for me.
Nearly all of you guys found a creative way to make it as hard as possible to get this demo linked properly.
Without telling any names, here is my personal top 5:

5. Relying on a specific VIC-Setup to run the part without glitches (E.g. enabling sprites without setting their position is not very good for rasterbars).
4. Relying on a specific zeropage-setup (As it is directly after a reset) to run the part without crash.
3. Spamming the serial-bus and serial-bus-direction registers with random values to kill the loaders drive-code.
2. Copy around the loader in memory, but missing a few bytes of it.
1. Ending a part with a stackpointer of 0, so the next JSR will definitely crash.

This was some of the hardest puzzles I ever had to solve.
Especially for the fact, that I only had the packed binaries for debugging/patching purposes.
