if you delete the savegame file, californa games starts up with a empty highscore list, if you compete any event then, a new savegame file is created with correct highscore, but california games locks after saving, on new start, the new highscore file is loaded, but saving does not work anymore from there on
Thanks for your bugreport, it really helped me to find the problem. Please grab the fixed version here:
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7602&release_id=11984. Btw.: it's 'https' this time because http at BerliOS is under ddos attack at the moment. :(

but for world games i must say that the mmc behaves strangely quite often. try to delete the dfi, make a new drawer or something else to copy a "new" dfi-image of world games to your mmc.
* Sigh * I hoped that all these problems were gone by now. Does this still happen with the 20061210 release or later? Earlier versions had a nasty bug which made fragmented files fail.

Many times I get to read that California Games shall work. Well, probably people saying that never played it that far.
When selecting "Compete in all events", the first couple will work (Half Pipe, Foot Bag, Surfing, Skating). However, when loading the event after Skating (which is BMX), the C64 loads for a few seconds and then crashes.
Maybe some not yet supported routine? Baccy?
Hehe, that's the correct behaviour! Sounds crazy? Just try the Ide64 fix on a plain machine, no ide64 and no speeder like AR or RR. It will crash.
The BMX event is quite big and has some data below the IO area at $d000. The 'fix' just calls the load vector to get the data into the memory. It will only work with a speeder which loads all data into ram (like AR or RR).
I could fix this issue by turning the dfi plugin into a ramloader, but this would break some old games which load the color ram at $d800 with the
kernal routines. So I guess it's better to forget the ide64 version and take the TAC version instead:
