Release id #17429 : Vandalism News #43
Well, as I've heard of at least two more people who failed to get this to run on a real machine I decided to move my goof comment to the forum:
I tried all I can, but I just can't get this to work on an otherwise fine real C64 (tried old/new one and various disk drives). It neither works in Vice 1.16. Anyone experienced similar problems (intro runs fine, then loads a couple of tracks, then dies with the drive led on, drive head on track 12)?
It works in CCS64, though... ;-) |

Works fine in Vice 1.16 under Debian GNU/Linux with True Drive Emulation and 1541-II as drive model.
Perhaps you should run x64 from a command-line/shell ? I've noticed that a lot of fastloaders/irq-loaders crash when running Vice from a file-manager/browser by double-clicking on a .d64-file..

No problems running VN#43 with my Vice 1.16 (Win32).
Haven't tried it on a real C64 yet.

No probs with either C64 or emulator.
Maybe your transfer makes errors when copying to real disk, but that doesn't explain why it won't work on VICE.. |

Thanks for the feedback, folks, but I got it to work now, finally! Got up the old rusty 1541-C from the basement and that did the trick. Still strange why it doesn't work on my other two 1541-IIs and WinVice 1.16.
Now off to read the mag...
(for some odd reason I can't get used to read C64 mags on the emulator) ;-) |

Actually I noticed some fast loaders in games and demos feel better when used on old 1541 disk drives. Somehow it seems old 1541s can better handle their age. My first 1541 disk drive received in 1982, which is the most used one, still works fine, while some new 1541-IIs have problems. |

I had VICE 1.16 (linux) with true drive emulation goes in error while try to read a new song and making in the same time other jopystick moving. It appears only one time. |

see, that's why you should use real thing for everything. (hint!) |

Works fine on WinCICE 1.14/1.16, CCS64 and most importantly, and what it's designed for, C64/c plus both 1541 and 1541-II.
Real thing is best! |
