Re: Questions about gamedev in an emulator...
Cheez26 , IMHO Fuse has a very confusing way of creating tap files. It's not intuitive in the slightest. More details here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5250&hilit=Fuse#p5250 If you are using the 48k machine, then z80 or sna will be fine for snapshots. If using 128k, I...

Re: Thinking about trying out CGD before I try out PGD
Cheez26 , I'm with ketmar on this. You can try all the tools in the world, but that won't move you forward. I know BASIC is frowned upon by many, but the original ZX Spectrum Manual is excellent. Work your way through it, and that will help you understand the machine. Write some simple games and ge...

Re: QAOP bust again?
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.

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

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.

@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.

Re: QAOP bust again?
OK. Thanks for the report. Will take a look over the next week.
QAOP is completely external, but we pass parameters to it.

Re: What is the best emulator to run on Puppy Linux and similar distros?
@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,

Re: Issues changing email address on other site (WoS)
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.

@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):

Re: Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy no longer available
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...

Re: Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy no longer available
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...
