Alien Mind From: kermit@pro-algonquin.cts.com (Fred Gotfredson) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2 This patch came on my hard drive: (yes, my OLD one- OverDrive 40) ------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the info you need to copy Alien Mind for the Apple IIgs. It has taken me since August to work this one out as the game uses its own operating system. In order to use this you MUST have Copy II Plus version 8.x or later. I have played the gameon disk 1 with the copy but have not yet tried past level 3 (althogh I've gone past that level on the original). All that they did were change the address marks from D5 AA 96 to D5 AA AA. Simple huh? So to make the copy boot up Copy II plus and go to the Sector Editorand change the following paramaters: Paramater New Value Result ------------------------------------------------------------ 10 AA New Address Mark 12 00 Clear old one? 55 03 Do Header Check 02 40 Helps with track length Now do a complete copy (tracks 0 - 4F). Keep track of all reads that don't have D5 AA AA (write them down). Re-try all the tracks that didn't have the address marks correct. I only got 5 but it varried from track to track each time I copied it. This is a pain but if you don't want the originals hurt then it's worth it. If you use this patch and it works for you (i.e. they didn't change the protection scheme) I would appreciate $2.00 for my eforts - this was the most difficult and tedious patch I have ever done due to the fact that it uses a different operating system. Thank You for your support and enjoy. Tryg Inda P.O. Box 12974 Reno, NV 89510 CIS ID# 71370,1400 ---- =(-)= =(0)= |
