Thanks Olofsson, Though I doubt I'll find anyone local with a C64, I will keep this in mind and test if and when I can. -----Original Message----- From: owner-cbm-hackers@ling.gu.se [mailto:owner-cbm-hackers@ling.gu.se] On Behalf Of Per Olofsson > I went back and tried the 3 copy of Giana I had.

If you're using a fastloader, try disabling that - they're often more lax when it comes to error checking and can mask load errors. I'd also verify the transferred D64 by reading it back on the PC, and testing again there. A marginal C64 PSU can also cause instability, try a second one. > Is there a good way to tell if a program is PAL or NTSC. Not apart from trial and error, no. --- avast!
