Release id #175656 : Space Beer
Can anyone else check this one a real 1541. Me and a friend tried multiple drives and c64’s, and we are only lucky using 1541-II. (1541, 1571, Oceanic fails). Strange. |

Quoting hedningI never blamed you. I was asking in the loader somehow was optimized by the demo coder in a way that was too fast for real drives? :) I did not notice any tampering, build seemed clean without modifications. |

Quote: The demo uses Krill's Loader, Repository Version 166 - try and see if the test program that comes with the archive works with your drives.
As for 1571, yes, there was a bug that i found while working on Krill's Loader, Repository Version 184 - for which Space Beer was one of my test demos.
IIRC, the older version worked fine on any 1541 variant that i happen to own. Yes, actual real brick-and-mortar drives.
I'll make a build with the new version tonight and post a link here.
Will do! This is interesting. I always have two 1541-II, a 1571 and one Oceanic on my desk, so I'll give them a spin later today.
Please try this current version of the demo on your drives as well. |

Maybe the patches mentioned in the Goofs-section in the CSDB-Entry of the Loader have not be considered?

Might be that, because the test prg from Krill works fine on all my drives (2x 1541-II, 1571 and one Oceanic); at least they don't crash. Nice loader <3 |

https://csdb.dk/release/?id=169364&show=goof#goof Good point. Indeed, the patches were not applied in the 3 months after they were posted.
Will make two builds, then, one with patched v166, one with v184. |

As far as I remember, no tampering on the loader code from me. Demo was tested on my 1541-II and 1541 Ultimate before the party. Some party coding was not tested on real drive, though. (As noted in the goofs).
Please let me know if I can be of any help. (Although I do have an unreadable scroll to finish..) |

Knut, my love! <3 Did you use the loader code with or without the bugfixes posted by Krill? Might be that? |
