Even though the vast majority of games can be Loaded & Run with LOAD":*",8,1 there are a few that require that they be Loaded with LOAD":*",8 in order to Run correctly.
Is there a way to make the GameBase v1.1 frontend do as above for particular games? ???

Oh.
I thought that maybe some, like, radio-buttons or something could be put in some future version of the frontend....
Well in any case, according to the Quick Reference Card of Pool of Radiance, it says to Load the Booter program with LOAD":*",8 . Also True Drive Emulation should be set to "Yes". Then one can answer "DISABLE FASTLOADER (Y/N)?" with "N" (running on WinVICE v1.16 anyway).
I remember that long ago when I had a real C64, there were some games that wouldn't Load & Run properly with ,8,1 , but I don't remember which they were (albeit there were so few of them).
I suppose I could report them as I come across them I guess....

I am working on the updated/improved GEMUS scripts. I have put in a check for the key=value of "LOAD8=yes" (press F2 in GameBase to enter a key=value pair). VICE can be made to auto load,8 but CCS64 can't.
I think that leaving True Drive Emulation off and disabling the software fastloader gives faster load times. The software fastloader must only be diabled in VICE, not CCS64.

Okay, thanks!
But until the next version of GameBase comes out, how can I do this on my current GameBase64 v3 with GameBase frontend v1.1 and WinVICE64 v1.6 (which is the one included with the GameBase64 v3)? I'd rather use the GameBase to do this and play than Quick64! (which BTW is also a good prg hehehehe).
