What is the Easter egg hidden in a record released by a rock band 35 years ago?
In the YouTube channel “
35 Year-Old C64 Easter Egg Hidden On Vinyl-YouTube
Here is a record of “Electric Eye”.
The record is engraved with “C-64”, which indicates “Commodore 64”.
The Commodore 64 program is hidden near a centrally labeled label that a normal record player cannot drop.
That's why Robin began to modify the record player to play back the recorded part of the program. First remove the turntable.
The record player used in the movie is designed to automatically return the tone arm to its original position once the song has finished playing, so remove the white gear so that the tone arm does not return.
Set up the turntable and you are ready.
When the needle was gently dropped at the position where the label passed, the sound of noise was reproduced as if the machine had failed.
Prepare cassette tape to output data ...
Start recording.
Read the recorded data with Commodore 64.
However, reading failed, and the output result was “ERROR”.
So Robin gave up recording on cassette tape, and amplified the recorded data with the free software '
Use the data recorder of the hobby personal computer '
Load the data again with Commodore 64. Looking at the output result, “ELECTRIC EYE”, which is the same as the album title, is displayed, and the data was successfully read. You can now run programs hidden in records.
Hidden in the record were Einstein's words and Bible quotes.
Robin contacted Prodigal members to find out who prepared Easter eggs. As a result, the testimony was obtained from one of the members, Rick Fields. According to Mr. Fields, the members did not have human resources who can program with Commodore 64, and it was said that they were able to program because they were able to program fans working at a computer shop in Florida, so it was said that it was charged because it was requested is.
