Known ErrorsBugfix provided by Battle Bunny: <UL><LI> The game crashes frequently. Most of the errors are due to JPs being one or two bytes off their correct destination. The most significant error was the machine stack overflow, caused by indirect recursive sub-routine calls, which would cause the program to crash if Crusoe did a lot of moving back & forth between map sections and had to use his "Elyxr" frequently. There were some minor errors in the keyboard checking, command handler search and message display. Also the LLL option to load a saved game messed up the stack and the QQQ/TIUQ option to restart didn't work properly (although that was due to the stack being messed up by other things). Fixed using the following patch: <PRE> org $6A9C ; patch indicator: stone head as prompt terminator DEFB $A2 ; 6A9C A2 org $6BEC ; jump correction JP $6A2D ; 6BEC C3 2D 6A org $71DE ; typo correction DEFM "A ladder " ; 71DE 41 20 6C 61 64 64 65 72 20 20 20 20 org $7AE8 ; jump correction DJNZ $7AE7 ; 7AE8 10 FD org $80E5 ; jump correction JR $8149 ; 80E5 18 62 org $82BB ; jump correction JP NZ, $82E2 ; 82BB C2 E2 82 org $8401 ; jump correction JP NZ, $82CD ; 8401 C2 CD 82 org $8736 ; jump correction JR $8706 ; 8736 18 CE org $8F86 ; jump correction JP $87CC ; 8F86 C3 CC 87 org $970C ; jump correction JP NZ, $87CC ; 970C C2 CC 87 org $B6F8 ; jump correction JR Z, $B71D ; B6F8 28 23 org $B705 ; jump correction JR Z, $B71D ; B705 28 16 org $B70B ; jump correction JR Z, $B71D ; B70B 28 10 org $A84D ; message address correction LD A, $5D ; A84D 3E 5D org $84F2 ; check RET address before JP back JP PATCH ; 84F2 C3 F6 B8 org $B498 JP PATCH ; B498 C3 F6 B8 org $CA86 JP PATCH ; CA86 C3 F6 B8 org $B8F6 ; drop all except RET to BASIC PATCH: POP BC ; B8F6 C1 LD HL, $2D2B ; B8F7 21 2B 2D AND A ; B8FA A7 SBC HL, BC ; B8FB ED 42 JR NZ, PATCH ; B8FD 20 F7 PUSH BC ; B8FF C5 JP $61AE ; B900 C3 AE 61</PRE></UL> Modified "BUGFIX" file provided by Einar Saukas.
