I brought up a while back that Skate or Die wasn't loading on the C64 core (would hang every time after the EA screen, just before the title screen) but it now works fine on every version I've tried, original or cracked. Thanks for all the work on this core (and all the others)!

The original does? I have a .g64 image of the original disk and it gives up after several seconds. There's a .d64 image floating around with an exact same disk directory and an Electronic Arts logo on load, but I assume it has copy protection silently removed. The original disk had a PirateSlayer copy protection.

It's getting there and shows how much can be done with a 20 year old FPGA core. There is still some VIC-II issues to solve mostly in FLI/IFLI/SHI graphics for example

You're right. My .g64 image gets stuck at the EA screen. What I called "original" is a .d64 without any crack intros, probably the one you're referring to. Still better than it was, though.
