Here is the documentation you need to control 65536 bytes of hardcore computer

If you have forgotten most of everything about how to control it or you never really understood how others do/did it, then this document might help you find the ressources for the inner workings of a Commodore 64.

The main purpose of this document is to make it faster for everyone to get back into programming demos/games/intros – or whatever you think you can add to the scene. So let’s KICK SOME 4$$ !

If you dare to show how lame your skills are today, I believe asking in the scene group might a solution too, but beware of the almight facepalm… )

Just to shhow off, please find my piece of Delphi code below. Create a form, throw in a button and an editbox. Add the code to the event handler of the button:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
indata : Array[1..20] of Byte = ($76,$75,$74,$2a,$63,$74,$66,$26,$7a,$6f,$24,$6f,$65,$6f,$63,$7c,$74,$7c,$74,$71);

var
outdata : string;
counter : byte;
begin

for counter := 1 to 20 do begin
outdata := outdata +  Chr(indata[counter] XOR Counter)
end;

Edit1.text := outdata;

end;

Sorry – the editor f*cked up my indentation

Well it starts there. With the URL you are supposed to go on  with phase 2

Try following:
Go to “C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help\Doc\” directory
and type these commands
h2reg.exe -u
h2reg.exe -r

Copy h2reg.exe and h2reg.ini to the “…doc\” directory and type the
commands above.

I can add to his comment that in order to do the trick for Delphi 2009 the instructions only need to be adjusted to point to the 6.0 directory;

Go to “C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\6.0\Help\Doc\” directory
and type these commands
h2reg.exe -u
h2reg.exe -r

Receiving an “AccessViolation in module rtl120.bpl” error while starting Rave 7.6.0 caused major irritation.

Found the answer; remove printers!

I deleted the Fax and Send to OneNote before I tried again and this did the trick. I can of course not say which one of them that was the magic key, but reading up on other forums I would propose OneNote as the prime suspect.

Quite a few to watch:

Was reminded that the Logitech camera interferes with Delphi. I think it still does actually

Did another piece of code that wouldn’t compile (here commented out) – The Pos wouldn’t work!

// PROBLEM WITH DELPHI 2009

//  with TCustomADODataSet(SelectGrid.DataSource.DataSet) do
//  begin
//    if (Pos(Column.Field.FieldName, Sort) = 1) and (Pos(‘ DESC’, Sort)= 0) then   //<- It stops here!
//      Sort := Column.Field.FieldName + ‘ DESC’
//    else
//      Sort := Column.Field.FieldName + ‘ ASC’;
//
//    If Column.Field.FieldName = ‘MCC’ then
//       ADO_Progress.Sort := ‘MCC ASC, MNC ASC’
//    else
//       ADO_Progress.IndexFieldNames := sort; /// TEST!
//  end;

[EDIT]

… which I got to work using a RawByteString() typecast …

with TCustomADODataSet(SelectGrid.DataSource.DataSet) do
begin
if (Pos(RawByteString(Column.Field.FieldName), Sort) = 1) and (Pos(RawByteString(‘ DESC’), Sort)= 0) then
Sort := Column.Field.FieldName + ‘ DESC’
else
Sort := Column.Field.FieldName + ‘ ASC’;

If Column.Field.FieldName = ‘MCC’ then
ADO_Progress.Sort := ‘MCC ASC, MNC ASC’
else
ADO_Progress.IndexFieldNames := sort; /// TEST!
end;
