It then loads the scores in from disk. Checks them looking for an eligible slot, and if one is found, grabs the user input and writes to disk. If one isn't found, it simply jumps right to a pause, before tidying up and exiting.</p><p>The Makefiles in both dkong and berzerk assemble the code, build the bootable ATR disk, build write-high-score and high-score-enable, and use those two tools to both insert the high score sectors, and to alter the first 16 bytes of the ATR file to indicate that it is high score enabled.</p><p>---</p><p>Let's start getting more of these games patched and ported, and we'll host them for High Score Enabled sharing of scores!</p><p>-Thom</p>
