G'day All

Does anyone know how to get the BD3Fix to work on the CCS64 emulator? Step by Step if possible please.

Also, when I use CCS64 and type: LOAD"B*",8 I can't get the * key to work, I press it and nothing happens (it works fine in WinVice), any ideas?

I've joined the CCS64 Forum to ask about the * key problem, but haven't got my activation email yet, so thought I would ask here while waiting.

I've already tried the BD3Fix using WinVice and it works fine (thanks to Simon and RTADash for their previous post about it), just wish I had realised 4 days ago that I had to be on the Player and Cave information screen for it to work

Regards

P.S.
I'm using CCS64 right now because it's the first emulator I was introduced to and all my BD 1, 2 and 3 Freeze Games are saved in it's format, so I would like to finish off with it before moving on.

MAN!!!

Don't you hate it when you try to solve a problem (or in my case problems) for days .... then finally decide to post a question .... then get a idea .... try it and it works

With the BD3Fix it turns out I had to select the Disk first which wasn't obvious to me, I was selecting Normal Boot and thought that was fine.

I can post the Step by Step instructions if someone wants it, I figure most of you are WinVice devotees or know how to do it already.

As for the * key, it turns out that WinVice has 2 keys (] and * on the Numerical pad) that can be used as *, of course in CCS64 I was using the keystroke that only works in WinVice, for CCS64 it's the ] key on a modern keyboard (as all of you already knew)

Oh well, hopefully it helps someone.

Yeah, that's how these things go sometimes... well, great that you found it yourself!

Nice idea. Smile
I worked out a solution. Do I win something now?
