Does anyone know what the difference between the two versions of the lode runner ROM is?

there is a 128k Version and a 64k Version. But I don't see a difference.


Any info out there? =)

=)

Where's the 128K one from?

Sometimes people copy them and unnecessarily double-up, so maybe there's 2 copies of the banks when only one was needed.

The second half of the 128k image is identical to the 64 version, while the first half contains a semi-repeating pattern of random data. So I suspect that the bigger one is an overdump.

Rybags: It's on Atarimania.

Are you sure one isn't the original 64K cart and one isn't the disk version converted to cartridge format?

Nah. The last 64KB are byte-to-byte identical; both have the Atari 1987 copyright.
