Something to do with the main screen on TTDLX

[Edward Bernard]

Josef, a couple of months back you mentioned something about you got made a
saved game from the title screen on TTDLX.
How did you do it, and what did it look like?

(I even managed to load the title screen as a savegame, but it's not
very interesting...)

How?

Copy title.dat to a trt??.sv1 savegame. Then change the last four bytes
(the checksum) from "40 A4 B1 D1"
(hex) to "58 C7 B7 D1" (hex). Now just load it.

Why?

Curiosity...

Do the trains just go round a loop?

No, not even a loop. It's just a single line of track with a depot at
one end. There's not even a bus/truck
station.

Is there a way to replace it with another saved game? That could be funny,
but I didn't reach to do.

No, not easily. For some reason the title screen needs a different
checksum than a regular savegame. I could do it with a debugger but that
wouldn't help you much, I'm afraid.
