It certainly did.

Sorry, but I just can't replicate your issue.

Thanks for the details @sn3j,

It looks like QAOP have recently changed to HTTPS, and we are still requesting HTTP.

Give me a couple of days to fix at our end. Looks like some browsers are complaining.

Is Chrome for W7 still updated by Google?

Thanks again.

Sorry, locked in error.

ParadigmShifter wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 12:17 pm Thanks for looking at it anyway.

No worries. I think it is probably to do with QAOP being an http site, and not https.

Doesn't work for me either. It pops up a Failed to Fetch message on this URL http://torinak.com/qaop/#128#l=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/temp/9sdn4r8ZOXa2SaF3GbO58M6piR2O2KIqR9V2i99Z.TAP Fine for me in Chrome W11. https://i.ibb.co/3T8S4v8/Chrome.png Note to all..

Hi @ParadigmShifter,

Just tried Brave on W11 and it's fine. As you say, must be something it your end. Will close this thread.



@1024MAK, I refuse to use Apple stuff, but my understanding is some some iPads didn't like Javascript.

Both those work fine for me @ParadigmShifter,

@ParadigmShifter,

I just tried a random title and it works fine for me.

Can you test multiple titles, and let me have a bit more detail. Cheers.

OK. Thanks for the report. Will take a look over the next week.

QAOP is completely external, but we pass parameters to it.

Thanks. Deleted one.

@Cheez26,

This is the tutorial that I followed:

@Cheez26,

Fuse is available on most Linux distributions, and that's what i recommend. I mainly use Ubuntu (Puppy is Ubuntu based), Fedora, or Mint. I did build Arch and Gentoo from scratch once, but that was three days I will be get back,

Spot on. There's only Dave and I moderating and I don't have the time, energy or inclination to moderate off-topic.

We did ask a few years back and people overwhelming said no thanks. There is an 'other retro' section if that helps.

Please can these two authors be merged. Thanks

@RST#08,

Great minds think alike!

@777,

Take a look at the first few chapters of this excellent book. Whilst it's title indicates it advanced, it's not really (especially in the first few chapters):

I'm learning all sorts of acronyms from @Cheez26!

Dozens of Miner Willy spinoff games and derivative works have been made while there was no copyright problem. There is an interesting discussion here Lee about such games. I tend to stay on the 'stay safe' side of the fence. https://forum.gamemaker.io/index.php?threads/manic-miner-jet-set-willy-int...

They're still available on WoS and WoS Classic. Yes, both those sites use an old version of ZXDB which is pre these changes being made. I've had a number of attempts at trying to convince Steve that having his titles available on a managed site with his blessing, is better than them being only avai...

I can use the forum, and there are posts there from today. Peter

We will look at it @Lee Bee.

It all depends on how different they are to the original @Lee Bee. Each title is checked to see if it deserves a new entry.

Hi,

If you want any changes made to ZXDB (the database that powers SC and other sites), please use the ZXDB Fixes sub-forum otherwise they are likely to be missed.

You could put a summary there, and link back to here if it's easier.
