loading protection and c64 forever

honx · 24 January 2022, 12:01

i have a question about this release: the isle of the cursed prophet

this release uses some kind of loading protection to prevent load"*",8,1
thus i can't use this in cloanto's c64 forever to autoload and play.

what do i have to do for working autoload using cloanto's c64 forever?

You should be able to type in the actual load and run commands on the Automation tab. While the combo box dropdown has "Automatic" and "None" it is also editable. In addition, if you uncheck "Automatic" for the Run command, you should be able to type in one or more commands there which will be executed automatically after the load command.

i can't get it working. if want to run load "isle otcp+5d[ex]" there is only syntax error.

//edit: nevermind. i forgot ,8,1 after filename... so following sequence seems to work:

Code:

LOAD"$",8
LIST
LOAD "ISLE OTCP+5D[EX]",8,1
RUN

Why don't you just have the second LOAD + RUN combo? The first file off the dir is not useful. No need for ,1 either, but it doesn't break anything either.

as i said, there is some kind of load protection. thus LOAD"*",8,1 doesn't work.
so i have to list directory and THEN load and run the file.

You don't need to list directory if you know what file to load.

Start with this only and see if it works

Code:

LOAD "ISLE OTCP+5D[EX]",8
RUN

Note, you don't need ,1 as Jope has already said. Use of ,1 is only when you use "*" to grab first program in list.

It's probably just that the first program on the disk isn't the executable you want to run

'*' wildcard means 'first file of the device'
',8' is the floppy device
',1' load it into the memory location specified in the file itself

Since the file requires the RUN it means that it is loaded in the normal space used to load the basic programs, with the SYS command usually (the ',1' is used if the software loads in locations that allow autorun).

Or just delete the first file and release it as a [100%][proper][fixed] crack

Plenty of C64 programs require ,1 on the LOAD and still need RUN afterwards. All the ,1 does is tell KERNAL that the file needs to be loaded at the address specified by the first two bytes of the file instead of at the default location for loading BASIC programs.
