Request: Miner 2 Infinite Lives Hack

[Tempest]

I have a request, can someone here hack Miner 2 for a large number of lives so I can see all the levels? I've loved this game since I was a kid but I could never get very far in it,

Is Miner 2 unique to the Apple? I think every other system got the official sequel instead.

Track 2 sector 01 address #$38, DE -> AD
for infinite lives.

Thank you. What's the best (easiest to use) program for editing sectors?

Is there a trick to get BITCOPY.SYSTEM to run from a hard drive? I tried with CP2+ 8.4 and it crashed to the monitor.

o.O

I've done it with several 6.x, 7.x and it's worked fine.

Ironically, it worked when I used copy2plus to copy it rather than ciderpress. thanks!

The likely explanation for that is the Text Conversion option is not set to "Don't convert".

Depends on who you are, for me, using the .dsk image (as a single line
on linux or macos):

printf "\xAD" | dd of=miner2.dsk bs=1 seek=$(((2*16+1)*256+0x38))
count=1 conv=notrunc

I use Ubuntu so that will work perfectly.
