F1: Start the game.,   F2: Select a level (called "STORE").,   F3: Level editor.,   F4: Save your own levels' data.,   F5: Load your own levels' data.
crnsk-screen Space (Trigger 1): Put a confuser that crashes a robot or stuns the claw for a while.
Note: After you put a confuser, you must move immediately! Otherwise, you will pick it up soon.

The 1st file:

First, particular attention should be paid when typing lines below.
crnsk-1st-file-note
For disk users:
This game is originally for tape only. This is because part of the program's area of use overlaps with the 1st disk's work area.
To load the game on Disk Basic, modify the code as below.
crnsk-1st-file-for-disk
(Descriptions)
The line #433(C050H~): Copy the 1st disk's work area (DA00H~F37FH) to (C080H~D9FFH).
The line #434(C05BH~): Restore the game's work area.
The line #435(C068H~): Copy the game's work area (E2B0H~F37FH) to "2040H~3110H" of VRAM.
The line #436(C074H~): Restore the 1st disk's work area.
If you modify the code as described above, each checksum will change as follows. (using version 3.1 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
crnsk-1st-file-checksum
Sorry if there are any typos, however, I've tested my data, and had no problems.

The 2nd file named "CRNSK-MD.BIN":

The original file name was "CR-MD", but I'm assuming that you're managing a huge amount of MSX games' files.
You cannot even save/load this file on Disk Basic. First, enter all data using a binary editor on Windows to create one.
In such cases, we Japanese usually use freeware called "DumpWithRTCS".
Choose "Tool(T)">"Address Offset(A)...". Enter "E2B0". Then enter all hexadecimal numbers to F1FFH.
Particular attention should be paid when typing the numbers below.
crnsk-2nd-file-note
Don't forget to compare each checksum with that in the magazine. (Choose "Checksum(C)">"Add8(E)")
Finally add a header as shown below to complete.
FE B0 E2 FF F1 B0 E2

The 3rd file (The "memory monitoring" program):

You don't create this file if you use "DumpWithRTCS" described above.

To load the game:

Simply run the 1st file.
Note: Too difficult to put a confuser? You can make the game's speed slower by the modification below.
crnsk-1st-file-weight
crnsk-level-editting-screen
Level editor:
First, press F3 key at the title screen. You can move the claw like a claw machine.
Hold SPACE key to grab an object and release the SPACE key to put the object there.
After you release the green box, you can also copy it if you move the claw soon.
C key: Crash the leftmost / rightmost wall(s).
CLS key (CTRL+L): Erase all the objects and restart to create your own level again.
You must move the claw just right to "STORE NO." words and enter a number.
If you want to enter "1", you don't have to enter "01" or " 1". Just enter "1".
You can also modify the value of time bonus by the same method.
Finally press Return key. After it asks you "OK ?(Y/N)", press "Y" key.
To save your own levels, press F4 key at the title screen.


Joystick support:

This game originally supports joystick, however, you can modify the code to avoid F1 / F2 keys to start the game.

A keyboard is still a must when you create your own maps, though!
