Can anyone provide me with a listing of the original 'Moon Rocket Lander' program for the HP97/67 along with a sample program run.

I need a test program and I can't think of a better place to start (well I probably can, but it wouldn't be nearly as nostalgic or as much fun!)

Thanks

This should be a faithful listing, though presented as a program that can be run on a HP-41 with a card reader. Apparently it came from a genuine HP-67 Moon Lander game program card.

The compatible instructions such as:

7DSP4 or 7DSP0 are just 

DSP 4 and DSP 0 on the 67

The "Standard Pac" program-guide lists 95 steps for the "Moon Rocket Lander".

Following the guidance above I get the following program which encouragingly is 95 steps long. However if I just let it run to completion on my HP67 simulator without entering anything it halts with an Error 4 message, could anyone confirm that I have converted all the steps correctly?

Line 067 should be 31 25 04 (f lbl 4), instead of 34 04.  I ran the program like you described, on a real 67 and your emulator gets the same numbers as the real 67.  I also entered 2, 20 unit burns and the velocity an altitude numbers matched, although to get the burns entered, I had to enter the first digit, which stopped the program, then entered the burn again, then hit r/s.  The real calculator takes the burn that was entered during the "0" pause, and keeps on going, no r/s is needed to keep the program running.  Hope this helps.

Well, lets try this again.

I ran it through on my 67, and as Bob points out the only error from the original listing is in Line 067 (isn't that a coincidence!): Correct is 31 25 04.

Many thanks to you both. Now to fix the problem with digit entry during pause...
