totally. just as silly as not openly posting the cartridge images of those multi-game carts that contain 99% pirated software.It's just ridiculous to have that kind of attitude in such a small community.

As for the menu, well, I didn't create that so... ask e5frog.

You're a super duper 6502/6510 coder. You can create your own...

Re: Imagine if Commodore
So you found my ... Trivia!
BTW, I notice you only have the PAL dump because I made only one cart with a socket and I know exactly who purchased it...

Re: Imagine if Commodore
a socket wasnt required, and there was none either. you dont have to pull the eprom to dump that cart, a simple port expander does the trick.BTW, I notice you only have the PAL dump because I made only one cart with a socket and I know exactly who purchased it...

Re: Imagine if Commodore
You went the complicated way about it. So much easier just to shove a 27C160 on an EPROM programmer (and adapter if required).groepaz wrote:a socket wasnt required, and there was none either. you dont have to pull the eprom to dump that cart, a simple port expander does the trick.
Unless you disabled the cell locker, you had to read cells one at a time with a reset in between...

Re: Imagine if Commodore
the complicated way would have been to find someone owning the cartridge who agrees with desoldering the ROM.You went the complicated way about it.
not quite, the only half interesting bit was the menu anyways, no need to dump the rest.Unless you disabled the cell locker, you had to read cells one at a time with a reset in between...

When you don't have professional tools, I guess people don't trust you. You should get yourself a Hakko 808 or equivalent. I find mine invaluable.groepaz wrote:the complicated way would have been to find someone owning the cartridge who agrees with desoldering the ROM.
POKE39936, (game number) wasn't good enough for you? All you had to do was ask Fredric (aka e5frog) for his permission. I'm quite sure he would have given it to you, saving you the trouble with your port expander.not quite, the only half interesting bit was the menu anyways, no need to dump the rest.

Re: Imagine if Commodore
no idea what you are talking about. some ppl dont like their stuff being opened and ROMs desoldered, its that simple. its also way easier to tell someone a couple pokes than sending a cartridge around. you seem pretty desperate to discredit what was done (and i can desolder fine with the tools i have)When you don't have professional tools, I guess people don't trust you.
it was no trouble at all, and i wasnt interested in the unmodified cart images you have put in the other banks. no more, no less. it would have taken far longer to ask whoever and wait for a reply than just doing it. why bother.POKE39936, (game number) wasn't good enough for you?

Re: Imagine if Commodore
I take it then, whether Fredric would have said yes or no you would've done it anyways. I see you have a lot of respect for other people's work.groepaz wrote:it was no trouble at all, and i wasnt interested in the unmodified cart images you have put in the other banks. no more, no less. it would have taken far longer to ask whoever and wait for a reply than just doing it. why bother.POKE39936, (game number) wasn't good enough for you?

You know, when I made the Behr-Bonz, I did try to contact a few companies and they couldn't possibly care less what I did with 25 years old computer games but at least I tried to check if there was a problem. Some even just laughed and hung up.
Fredric is a member here and he checks his PM regularly. I know for a fact he would have answered you quickly.

Re: Imagine if Commodore
like selling a cartridge full of pirated software? or like putting silly "trivia" into your ROMs?I see you have a lot of respect for other people's work

Re: Imagine if Commodore
The Megacart contains mostly the same software along with other things which were put in there with permission. Any difference?groepaz wrote:like selling a cartridge full of pirated software? or like putting silly "trivia" into your ROMs?I see you have a lot of respect for other people's work
I recently saw a thread on Lemon64 about the selling of a C64 multicart which uses switches and also has 64 or 128 games (pirated ones) in it. Nobody took it down.
I'm sure you don't need reading courses...
Unlike you, I invested the effort and the time to verify if there would be any problems.You know, when I made the Behr-Bonz, I did try to contact a few companies and they couldn't possibly care less what I did with 25 years old computer games but at least I tried to check if there was a problem. Some even just laughed and hung up.
I am quite sure it's a lot easier for you to send a PM to e5frog on Denial or Lemon64 than it was for me finding the phone numbers of a bunch of large companies, call them, expect a call back and so on and so on...
Fredric even made his own e-mail publicly available... http://channelf.se/mail/index.html

Re: Imagine if Commodore
just a small one: the cart images were posted publicly long ago and not a single fuck was givenThe Megacart contains mostly the same software along with other things which were put in there with permission. Any difference?

Re: Imagine if Commodore
Same with the 'pirated software' that's in the Behr-Bonz...groepaz wrote:just a small one: the cart images were posted publicly long ago and not a single fuck was givenThe Megacart contains mostly the same software along with other things which were put in there with permission. Any difference?
Only the menu is from somebody else. If you had bothered to ask Fredric before posting it, I'd say there's a 99% chance he would've said it's okay, a 0.9% chance he would've said 'I couldn't care less' and a 0.1% chance he would've said 'no'. But asking would've been the polite thing to do.
BTW, You put the schematics in there too, that's my creation and I didn't authorize you to post that.
