C64 Disk writing, D64 image size / corruption issue?

[remowilliams]

Has anyone had any issue with a D64 becoming larger than it ever should with something that writes to disk?

I was playing Autoduel a bit on the core (which writes fairly frequently to disk to save/update your character) and went to load the same D64 images in Vice and it refused to mount the second disk.

Looking at the size of the second image it has rather unexpectedly grown in size, which was why Vice wouldn't mount it.

Code: Select all
