Photo Safari - Bug

[gumpy]

Photo Safari - by Jon Mattson (Published on Loadstar #69) - Use your camera to take pictures of wildlife and avoid the monkey stealing it! (Use return to switch between walking and camera mode) There's a weird bug in the game where when you get to the second level it fills with trees and only the ostrich appears (Odder still, the bug will only appear sometimes on real hardware - but it appears all the time in VICE). The game was never patched or a bug fix issued on future Loadstars. I uploaded the game in a .d64 if someone out there wants to see if they can locate the bug - https://www.mediafire.com/.../xhh.../Photiio+Safari.d64/file

Aaah interesting! I'll have a look later, thanks for finding it!

The music will also sometimes mess up when the bug occurs.

That's interesting, because the Presenter on many issues has a similar problem. I wonder if it's an issue with the interrupt handling in VICE?

No, the music will do that on real hardware as well. Fender mentioned the bug on one issue and said the best way to deal with it is to press S to silence it and turn it on again with S.
