C64 Choplifter corrupt?

[oracle_jedi]

I got a Choplifter cartridge for my C64 a while back from 4Jays in Antioch.

 

I love the game on the VIC20, I wanted to play it on the 64.

 

But the game crashes right after the mission starts, with graphical corruption. I thought I had a bad cart.

 

But I got an Easy Flash 3 cart and downloaded a Choplifter ROM image to it, and that image crashes in the exact same way.

 

Are there any known issues with the game? My 64 is an NTSC model, and seems to run most everything else without an issue.

Never heard of that being an issue. Played it tons on NTSC 64's. If downloaded versions do the same as your real cart, you may have an issue with your C64.

 

Try playing your downloaded CRT image on an emulator and see...

Yeah, I suspect it could be some weird incompatible glitch with your C64. I could never run Bounty Bob Strikes Back on one of my C64s, it would always crash on boot. Worked fine on my other C64s.

Ah, 4Jays... I haven't visited them in a few years. I should go back and dig through their VIC-20 stuff.

4Jay's Commodore 64 bin is getting a bit bare, and they had no TI-99/4A stuff at all this time.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I will test the ROM image against a C64 emulator but I am guessing it will work fine.

 

Disappointed I can't play it on the real machine.
