New Suite of Hardball Master Disk and Team Disks Creator

[rcamp48]

Howdy folks:

 

35 years ago I took something from Hardball extra team disks , and created 11 separate Hardball Team Disks all on one disk, along with docs on how to use it on the other side of the disk. I then created a program that would write to sectors 112 to 128 on the Hardball team disks, but read from the Master Team disk , I borrowed routines like everyone else did to read and write sectors on the destination disk. Unfortunately at the time I protected my source code with various pokes etc to make the program basically unlistable.

 

35 years later I discovered this program on the original KWEST library that I had archived a few years earlier, and made a new unprotected copy of it.

 

It works and is listable , plus now I have reversed the routines for reading and writing to disk sectors, made the program read my various Modified Hardball Disks, (exactly the opposite of what I did 35 years ago).

 

The result is a video that shows that it does work for both programs and that the written parts do work right.

 

Here is the link to Mega for my Hardball Master and Team disk Creator : Hardball Master and Team Disk Creator

 

There are several programs within including a program called Hardball.bas which will take any string and create special encrypted HEX codes for writing new teams.

 

With these 3 programs it is entirely possible to take any team from history , any year any team , put in the correct stats and create awesome team lineups.

 

Here is the video that proves that all of this works :

Here is a challenge to you coders that are out there , now that you have the tools that can make your job easier, lets see who can come up with the most outrageous HardBall Team Lineups (2 custom teams per disk).

Ya this still has to be brought up to date , and I am the only one that really understands what I did 35 years ago. Trouble is that I don't have the time right now.
