You could have saved time by checking my "Dragon User Game Hints" PDF that Lionel kindly re-upped in a thread about pokes. My post at the end of the thread explains the ordering of the game lists.

Re: Hello, New here !

Welcome to the forum. On your YouTube video about "Cosmic Crusader" you were wondering whether-or-not the game was first released in the States for the CoCo with artifact colours and then converted to the Dragon with extra screen colour modes. No it wasn't, the original has just the green screen mod...

Cascade Cassette 50 - Redone

The archive's copy of the Cascade Cassette 50 is marked as under dumped, assuming that this is due to shortened leaders I have used XRoar to pad out the leaders within the two cassette images, the new images can be found below. However these images contain 48 rather than 50 programs, are two program...

Re: Fairground Fantasy by Abrasco

I got that one and I'm trying to get a clean cas file. If you're talking about the Cascade Cassette 50 then the archive has copies of both sides of the tape, though both images are labelled as 'u'. I don't know why they are labelled 'u' but if they have shortened leaders then parsing them through X...

You've never tried anything from the Cascade Cassette 50?

Re: Fairground Fantasy - Seriously WTF Is Going On?

This reinforces the idea that the initial RAM state of the Dragon 32 differs to the 64 (it's almost certainly entirely down to what sort of chips are used, in what organisation). My 64 starts up with that location containing 255, so it wouldn't work there - suspect the game was only ever tested on ...

Re: Fairground Fantasy - Seriously WTF Is Going On?

Listing shows the following: 9 IFPEEK(32767)<255THENPCLEAR2: [snip] :POKE 32767,255 When using XRoar (either Dragon 32, or 64 in 32 mode) before running the game PRINT PEEK(32767) gives 255 so the rest of the line is not carried out. A simple POKE 32767,254 before running the game seems to solve the...

Re: Prism 1000 modem and serial cart

Of course, it's not the modem, but the Dragon cart.... True, but it is possible that the manual contains a Dragon cart section, without asking it will be difficult to find out. As to obtaining an image of the ROM, so long as you can access BASIC with the cart inserted you can dump the contents of t...

Re: Prism 1000 modem and serial cart

This is the closest I've come to finding a manual on-line. Perhaps you could contact the site's owner about scanning the rest of the manual?
