CCS64 Forum

Just wanted to report that the problem still persists in version v3.91.

Runs fine in v3.1 though.

Make sure that you play the game using the right joystick port.
All the games you mentioned must be played using joystick port 2.
First try ALT+F10 to switch the ports.
Then make sure the port 2 keyset is not also used for port 1.
So better assign no keys at all to port 1 (using ALT+I).

I tried the Section 8 crack on my trusty C64.
The gold doesn't get multiplied by ten.
It's a bug! No doubt about it.
Else the game would be way too easy.

Loading with ,8,1 didn't help either on the emu.

Tried 3 different versions on CCS and VICE. The bug remains the same.
Tried the original on the "real thing" and got reassured that it's definitely a bug.

I fondly remember playing this game back in the days.

On CCS and VICE I stumbled upon this GAMEPLAY bug:
Everytime you find gold, the amount is magically multiplied by ten in your inventory, for instance the game tells you "you found 10 gold", but the inventory shows 100 gold.
Since I know this ...

That did the trick!

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi there!

Scarabaeus normally generates random maps for each game.
I noticed that under CCS the first map in this game will always be the same when you first start it.
So you have to die first (which takes a while) to get a new random map.

I also noticed that VICE doesn't have this problem ...

Just use a standard C64 disk utility (eg "Disk wizard") to format the disk, not the inbuilt features of MOM or any emulator.
The latter will NOT work for MOM.
