+Propane13 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hi. Gotta simple question: Has anyone been able to access the "hidden secret upper level" of Mountain King 2600 by using a 7800 instead of a 2600? If anyone has, this thread can die. Just seeing if I'm going crazy... -John K. Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckhard Stolberg Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 This wouldn't work. Mountain King (accidentally?) reads some bytes from the TIA input registers as level data. For these registers only the two topmost bits have a defined state. On the 2600 the other bits stay at whatever data was on the bus last. In the 7800 this behaviour was changed. The unused bits are always set to 0. Therefore you get different values which results in a different setup for the upper regions in Mountain King, which won't give you any oppertunity to climb up there.
