A patch for the Conic Computer Chess
 

I propose this patch for the Conic Computer Chess (cncchess2.zip) in order to respect rules of castling (black and white).
The problem appears in https://www.schachcomputer.info/foru...postcount=4729, by Franz (fhub).

Unzip cncchess2.zip, with a binary editor change old byte value with the new one (offset begin at 0) in the file c11485.u2 .
Rename the old cncchess2.zip to keep the original, and create a new cncchess2.zip with the modified c11485.u2 .


offset old value new value

4F3 EA 18

4F9 EA 84

Oh, a new medical doctor for chess computers! :D

We already have a few 'modified' ROM versions with bugfixes in CB-Emu, so I'll probably also include this one.

Many thanks,
Franz

Hello Franz,

Not a new doctor for chess computers : first modification was on Sargon I on the trs-80 in 1981.
Patch is a patch, not the best solution.
Where I can send you the new file ?

Cordially,

mychess.

Hi mychess,
but the only method, if the source is not available.
Thanks, but that's not necessary - I've already created it with my own patcher. ;)
And it's also already in my CB-Emu version ...

Regards,
Franz

Hi Franz,

The new file is not the patched file.
I have re-assembly with a better respect to a time critical routine (not necessary for the emulator, but perhaps for a real eprom).

Cordially,

mychess

Ah, I thought you mean your posted patch.
Well, I can't burn an eprom and I don't have this real device, but if this new version is useful for the emulation, then you could just send it to me as attachment in a PM.
