Need help saving Infocom text adventure games to Commodore 64
-
Need a little help, I would like to play some of the old school Infocom text adventure games like Zork and Planetfall, but I can't seem to ge the emulator to save game. I have tried using 8 and 9, and changing settings on 9 to either directory or 1541 II, but it seems to save but when I go to "RESTORE" i get a failed message. Does anyone know the right procedure and/or settings to save the games?

The Infocom games save and restore games using direct block access on the disk. This means you can use any disk image for saves. The saves won't show up in the directory. In fact, one of the save positions will overwrite the directory itself, so the directory will look all garbled.
This means you need to emulate a 1541 (or a 1541-II) and load a blank disk image into the drive. After a save to position 1, the disk image will still appear blank, but it won't be.
