Has anyone managed to get Protector/Yasi to work on VecFlash

I have made a backup of my YASI/Protector cartridge binary and tried to load
it on my Vec Flash. Unfortunatly it will not boot. Has anyone managed to
get either game working on Vec Flash as they are such good games and I
probably will be leaving the Vec Flash in regularly when people are over.

The high score memory in Protector/YASI uses the same I/O as the VecFlash
bank switching system, which is why it crashes. A VecFlash compatible
version Protector/YASI binary (without the high score save code) will be
available very soon. I had planned to have it ready for the VecFlash
release, but I am slow.

Thanks Alex,

I hope to see more programming at that quality level. The cartridge is of
top quality also and an excellent price.
