The game gets the checksum of three bytes: The palette number for the Konami copyright string on the title screen, the first character ("©" or "L" depending on the publisher), and the third character ("K" or "C"). but it's more complicated than that, because there are many more checks to keep pirates at bay. Potential pirates would have to find both strings to actually change the text on the title screen. The game draws the first string on even-numbered frames and the second string on odd-numbered frames. There are two copies of the Konami copyright string in the game: One at 0x086D (Konami) / 0x086F (Centuri) / 0x086C (Atari), and another at 0x4902 (Konami) / 0x4925 (Centuri) / 0x487F (Atari). 1.6 Phase Five - Special Copyright Checks.▶ Time Pilot '84 – Further Into Unknown World (Konami, 1984)
