It is really stupid to enter your name in a highscore that will be lost if you turn off your gameboy. That's the reason why I wrote this patch: It saves the highscore to the SRAM, so QIX will remember it after power-off. As the cart-type changes to MBC2, QIX will need 2 kBit (256 byte) of SRAM. In the actual release of DGBMAX (v1.2) it still requires a whole bank (64 kbit) of SRAM, but wait until the next release is finished ... Apply this patch permanently to QIX, don't use the dynamic patch-system of DGBMAX. The reason for this is that the cart-type changes when patching. The dynamic patch-system is not expecting this and doesn't assign SRAM to QIX if applied dynamically. - EMP- .________________________________________________________________________. | Adverts : .-\/-----------------------\/-----------------------\/-. `----------------' If you haven't already done it, check out DGBMAX.
