Demos not working on Real C64
The following demos don't work on my real c64 :
Royal Arte/Booze Designs
Nine/Reflex
Irrational/Chorus
Death and Glory/Covenant
Always when I load them my c64 hangs up in the first or second part of the demo. Already have tried to load them with another c64 and also with another power supply. I have even copied the demos to other discs in the case that the discs are damaged. On Emu those demos work fine though.
Anyone can help me? I wanted to enjoy those demos on the real c64.

All work fine on my C64 also (old style breadbin, 1983). I've particularly seen Royal Arte crash on many machines, though... |

Disconnect all additional drives. Turning them off is often not enough. |

sounds that this is a loader problem. try other drives. |

Another tip: remove cartridges.
Esspecially the Final Cartridge 3 is a nasty lil old bugger.

No need to remove FC3... just enter "KILL" before starting the demo. Also, AR is not exactly more compatible. |

i remember one of xbows onefilers (might have been back to the roots...not sure) worked on fc3, but on ar it crashed EVEN if you killed the cart, you *had* to physically remove it. |

I'm using a 1984 C64 with 1541 and RetroReplay+RR-Net, just transferred the D64 with WarpCopy 0.5 in fast-IEC mode (it took ~29seconds per side)... I didn't disbled my RR... The demo just worked fine for me.
I managed to switch to ActionReplay MK-IV... no problems either.
Maybe you just have crappy discs... or you simply need to clean your drive head.

I don't believe that. Would you mind finding that file? :D |

you should ask deekay...maybe he remembers exactly which one it was, graham probably does too. finding the actual file might be difficult, since xbow fixed it quickly when i complained about it :)

Oneder also turns off the AR hardware in the beginning of the demo because the demo would crash later on. The reason was an AND (zp,X) which i used to waste 6 cycles in 2 bytes. Sometimes the high byte of the adress would be $DE, and accessing (also reading) $DE00-$DEFF with active AR = crash. |
