Games in D81 format for SD2IEC device

Quote from Frederose

Hi guys, could someone explain tome how to play adventure games without saving ? I'm trying to start a game of Bard's Tale and Pool of Radiance but since I can't save, I can't start a new game.

Wich system?

In Winvice use the Disk2Easyflash CRT Version of PoR and also put in a empty D64 image in diskdrive 8, this is your savegame disk. Whenever the game ask you to put in a savegame disk (character creation for example), just press the return button, the character and savegame will be saved on the disk. Afterwards it will tell you to insert disk 3, now just press Return again and the game will continue loading from the CRT image

greetings,

A.

Quote from Stephan Scheuer

due to the amount of files i had to extend the directory. This can be destroyed during write accesses

1581 format supports partitions. Each partition has its own directory track.

I know that. however, not more than 296 entries are entered in the directory. pool of radiance consists of over 550 files and that's way too much for a 1581.

a fd-2000 or cmd-hd and an ide64 would handle it. It does not matter if the filenames are in a subdirectory or in the main directory. At the too small memory in the directory that changes nothing.

OK, i will today or tomorrow have a look into the game code. at the moment i am working on the completion of "the pawn" and "starflight" and that is very hard work due to the virtual machines used in the games.

Gibt es das Spiel The Cycles von Accolade auch in D81 Format ?

Leider ist die von mir getestete Version von The Cycles im D64 Format nicht auf SD2IEC lauffähig. Gibt es das Spiel im D81 Format welches auch auf SD2IEC lauffähig ist ?

Hello!

I love how you make the best C64-games in workable .d81-version. I know there are Elvira 1 and 2 in .d81 but in german language. Could you do me a favour making english versions of them? Here are some links to the english versions: http://www.gb64.com/game.php?id=2483 and http://www.gb64.com/game.php?id=2486&d=18. Also I wish if you could make me .d81 version of Starflight and Sentinel Worlds games!

Best regards,

Gabor

It is possible to make a d81 fom Sentinel Worlds. This game use a trackloader with sectors-chaining.

But form Starflight ist is very difficult to make a d81. This Game use a Virtual Machine. That means i need to convert each sector from side2 as a file.

It can be more than 500 files. Same with "The Pawn" Someone asked me for a d81 version or a sd2iec version. I would have to create more then 700 files.

...Elvira 1 and 2 in .d81 but in german language.

How about learning German?

That was a little joke.

at first I will start in the next days to make a d81 from elvira 1 and 2 english version.

Best regards: Stephan

Schonmal die Remember Version getestet?

Sorry, ich habe das Game mit "Super Cyles" verwechselt. "The Cycles" verwendet ein IRQ-Loader ab $0300. Das ist genau derselbe Loader wie bei "MetalGear" oder "Grand Prix Circuit"

Das funktioniert weder mit der 1581 noch mit dem sd2iec oder sonstwas.

Thanks for your answer. Sorry I really tried make some .d81 games but it was difficult for me like german language. So I look forward your next workings here.

Ich habe verschiedene D64 Versionen von The Cycles von Accolade (ich meine nicht Super Cycle von Epyx) getestet auf SD2IEC. Das Spiel scheint wohl leider nicht lauffähig zu sein. Grand Prix Circuit wiederum ist lauffähig bei mir auf SD2IEC.

Lies mal meinen Post #213 durch. Ich hatte mich bezüglich "The Cycles" geirrt. Die "Grand Prix Circuit" Version hatte ich mal an die 1581 angepasst. Das war eine ganz üble Nummer,

weil der original IRQ-Loader ab $0300 beginnt. In dem Bereich liegen auch die Vectoren für z.B. Kernal-Load.

Ich schaue mir das Spiel gleich mal an. Vielleicht bekomme ich das auf die Schnelle an die 1581 angepasst.

Hi Stephan

It's nice to meet an expert in d81s - While I have made a couple easy d81s, but I tried to make one of Star Flight, and I can see from your post why this is so difficult. The first problem I'm having is finding a version that isn't cracked. From the link below, there are 2 versions:

http://www.gametronik.com/site…commodore_c64/Starflight/

when I looked using Dirmaster, it looks like it is cracked because the 2nd disk has nothing in it. However, the second version looks different, and although there doesn't seem to be many files at first glance, if I double click on some of the items, it opens up another window with losts of "files" in it. Is this what you mean when you said there can be 500 or more files? If so, are you able to tell/teach me what I need to do, hoping that I can save you some work.

If however, this version is also cracked, do you know a good source where to find a non cracked version? I've tried csdb and they all seem to be cracked too. I'm desperate to play Star Flight as I've read so many great things about it and it's possible to play that game for years

Vilen Dank

Phil

Robox makes a grafik-failure on my machine. The first picture (face of a robot) doesn´t work and i can´t start the game. Can someone test it for me if it happens on other C64er?

Don't use a fastloader like Action Replay. Only type (LOAD"*",8,1 and RUN". The Pic are crunched and many fastloader return with a wrong value in X/Y

Quote from CommFor

For the first time ever - game with two D81 files!

Alter Ego - Male Version (1986)

Does it work with autowap.lst? Yes!

WOW! Can't believe someone has finally done this for the D81! This is an ideal game for this format. Hope it works! Major thumbs up !
