Hi everyone! This is a post following up on a previous post I made about u/realrandomcat 's search and posts regarding this secret codes book that can't be found online. I finally scanned and uploaded it! Below are the links to the posts that were made, including my original post with more information
Hi, I’m new to the Apple II scene and could use some advice. I’m researching a game and bought it. My goal is to get the disk into a readable form so I can inspect its contents. From what I understand, the original disk may use a protected/custom format, so a normal file/catalog extractor may not be enough. Since I only have a MacBook and a Windows PC, I’m currently considering this workflow: Applesauce FDC plus an Apple II-compatible 5.25-inch drive, A2R preservation image and WOZ working image, analysis & emulation, Passport attempts, and decoding. Does that sound like the right approach? I’d also appreciate recommendations for specific 5.25-inch drives that work well with Applesauce FDC, and whether there are better tools or workflows for eventually creating a readable/cracked copy from the protected original. Thank you.
Hello, I found a site that mentioned possible easter eggs and this was one of them, stating "The initials “LR” (for Lyle Rains), “OR” (for Owen Rubin), “Ly” (for ?), “Mh” (for Morgan Hoff), and “PM” (for Paul Mancuso?) can be found in the program, coded as graphics. According to programmer Owen Rubin, it’s quite possible these can be triggered to appear on the screen!" I was able to confirm that the initials/signature graphics are present in the ROM as sprite graphics and that they're coded as motion-object graphics in the sprite ROMs. They show up through the game’s built-in diagnostic/test mode, not through normal gameplay. At least as far as I can tell, I don't see a normal gameplay/player-accessible trigger.
The working path I used was:
After the sprite/object diagnostic starts cycling, the hidden initials/signature graphics appear in the high sprite-code region. They do not appear as a clean title-card-style message; they appear as part of the diagnostic sprite test, mixed with other diagnostic graphics and sometimes rotated or stylized.
I found that DIAG TEST can be toggled a few more times to continue cycling through the diagnostic sequence. If Service Mode is still On, the sequence restarts from the beginning with the beeps. If Service Mode is Off, it returns to the main game screen.
If so, could you tell me more about it, how you like it, and the perks over putting in say 8 orders of one driver at a time?
Hi, I'm new to preordering. Possibly looking for an alternative. I signed up and had a suprise, upon researching privacy policy and email (having to make changes on another site), I saw comments about past issues with them and leadership. Since I don't have a FB, trying to put a preorder at a local shop isn't an option like I'd like since they operate solely through there
