The Castles of Doctor Creep EasyFlash version

The Castles of Doctor Creep EasyFlash

This is the source to build an EasyFlash version from original and remastered The Castles of Doctor Creep on the C64.

Features

• Save your games and best times on EasyFlash
• Import and export of save games

Required Tools

To build you need the following:

• cc65
• cartconv from VICE
• c1541 from VICE
• Python 3.6 or greater
• GNU Make
• C compiler

Building

To build The Castles of Doctor Creep create the folder disks/ and place the original disk as d64 or g64 in it. Rename it to castle.d64 resp. castle.g64.

Download the remastered disk (Castles of Dr Creep 3 ReM V2) from the source of your choice, place it in the folder disks/ and rename it to castle3.d64.

The disks I used have the following sha1 checksums:

d0b910f266ed150ce8f9f5ef8aa4383eda181537  disks/castle.g64
359f2d1bcaace89012bf3f99e08766ef6ce9e1d9  disks/castle.d64
18349f63c0b8e2268e2334dbdca71f3ec2aa5b46  disks/castle3.d64

Then build with

make

Find the crt image in the build sub-directory: build/codc-easyflash.crt.

Bugs

I did not test the game much. A lot of functionality is unknown to me and therefore I do not know if I missed important parts of code to convert. Especially saving files on EasyFlash has not been tested thoroughly.
