Hidden msg by RADWAR in System 3's Vendetta

Hi all,

can anybody tell me how to display the hidden RADWAR msg and the scrolling rasterbar effects contained on track 1, sector 0 of System 3's Vendetta?

Thanks! =))

No reason for emulators to support "NIB". NIB is just an intermediary file format. Think of it as just a "dirty" G64 that doesn't have the track cycle detected properly yet.

I've checked Vendetta and have been unable to find anything resembling the mockup. The message mentioned by Mad ][ can be viewed by doing the following:

Ensure a (virtual) freezer cartridge is inserted
Load Vendetta
During the intro, freeze and continue
On the next load, the message/demo from MWS is loaded.

I can send the message to anyone interested. I'm not sure it would count as a release to be uploaded here, though. OTOH, crack intros are apparently seen as separate releases...

The protection is probably triggered by entering the cartridge to prevent people to reset crack the game

Exactly. Freezing disrupts the sync between the drive and the c64. The drive code detects this and self-modifies to always load the message regardless of what file was requested.

Holding down FLAPS in the Vendetta game intro is nice too. :P

Yup. Although not as nice, you can also press run/stop, cursor up/down, CTRL or space.
