Your wish is granted! You can now play on the real hardware :)

Thanks :) Unfortunately it doesn't work on my C64. I put the .d64 file onto my sd2iec, but it gets stuck at the character screen. In vice it works perfectly fine. Do I have to perform some kind of magic to make it work on the real C64? Or is it just incompatible with the sd2iec?

Make sure you load from your IEC device using the LOAD command from basic. Don't enter any other command or load an other programm just after boot. If your sd2iec device has device ID 8, use LOAD "*",8,1. I've tested it on a real 1541 drive. If required, I'll publish another (larger) version with no loader hack.

It finally works. I changed the device number of the sd2iec from 9 to 8 and loaded the game directly from basic. I don't know what exactly did the trick though.

I bet on the second factor. The basic loader is hijacked in Tiny Bubbles so that the return address of the loading routine points directly to the entry point of the game.
