 Re: 1541 only PRG's

Some News for the same problem:
cbm warrior sent me some PRG's to test them! Great thanks also on this way!
Now we found out, that not the PRG's do the Trouble:
My 1541 II ist the Problem!!! Does anyone know, which PRG's for 1541 use did Not Work with a 1541 II (Like Tetris 2/Battle chess)....
Next step: buying a 1541c , recoloring the Case in 264er Style, and TEST MY 1541 PRG's with a 1541c!

You did check the directory entries to be the same as in the database here? Is on the bardstales disc 1 some entry with "1541_1551" in its filename?

The 1541 works at its best with every Other Disk! Only the only 1541 Disks did Not Work (PIGMY covered Games vor the 264er series) Like Battle chess 1541 or Bards Tale 3!!!

Just a stupid question: are you sure that your 1541-II is working properly? Does DIRECTORY (F3) works properly? Could you make a video (using a phone or something), preferably with drive sounds?

Even when the 1551 is off, its *paddle* has circuitry that may interfere with the 1541-II.

To diagnose: remove the 1551's paddle from the Plus/4's cartridge port. happy

Actually if you would load C64 discs you would see a "garbage" screen. Since load point there is $0801 instead of $1001 which overwrites the screen memory on plus/4. It's just a wild guess, but maybe you are loading C64 games? Dunno if that helps..

Battle Chess 1551 exits as 1551 version, too.

By the way: 1551 ist shut down (Power Off) , so there is no error with the device Numbers!

 Re: 1541 only PRG's

From your description of this problem I think it would be very difficult to diagnose the issue. Though there's one thing I'd mention; you keep saying "PRG", but in this case we should be talking about "D64" files. In other words, when you downloaded the D64 files (disk images) from our site, you copied that entire image to a new disk, right? These programs will not run if you only copy a single PRG file.

 1541 only PRG's

Dear Community,
I tried to Run some 1541 only PRG's (Bards Tale III, Battle chess) on my plus4 , by using a 1541 II, but no one of the PRG's would Run. By using C= Run Stop also by using Load"*",8,1! The second comand let the automatical Load Start after "Run" but the Floppy stopped by showing a undifined screen (Same by using C= Run Stop) !? Same with each PRG.... whats wrong???
