Qix - Filecracked! (With Caveats)

[Steve Nickolas <usotsuki@buric.co>]

I haven't put this very thoroughly through its paces, and the title screen 
is still garbled.  Also, the first stage unpacks the language card, so you 
can't use it with ProDOS.  There's the bad news.  Good news is as far as I 
can tell, and I've played through it a bit, it works and works well.  I 
sacrificed $2000-3FFF in main memory to hold the relocator; as far as I 
know nothing important is touched.  (This memory block contains a graphic 
which is immediately erased when the joystick calibration is complete.)

It is an absolute must for the final stage to be compressed!  DOS 3.3 is 
unable to load it any other way.  This is why my initial attempts were 
going down like the Hindenburg.

Alright, here you go... http://1.buric.co/qix33c.dsk.gz

Remember it needs a //e, 128K RAM (it's DHGR, you know!) and a joystick.

I got one of those dual-stick pads, and it annoys me to no end that the 
default stick is not the D-pad... AppleWin therefore can't use the pad 
because it doesn't know about it, and thumbsticks are a pain in the neck.
