I decided to try to remove the crackscreen from Ms. Pac-Man. Based onthe C64 version, I concluded, that at the title, above the marquee(where it says "DISKMAN PRESENTS") should read "ATARISOFT PRESENTS", andbelow, should read "ï¿½ 1983 ATARI, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED". So I tried tobinary-edit the disk to fix this (simple text replacement), and lo andbehold, it broke it...

I am not versed in 6502 very well, and don't really know how I'd figureout what's causing it to flake out in this instance.


Anyone had better luck?

Moll.
