Re: FUSE error: "Couldn't play sound"
I've had a similar problem on a Windows 10 laptop and could only fix it by right clicking on the loudspeaker icon on the taskbar and selecting "Troubleshoot sound problems" and eventually re-installing the current sound driver through the options in there It works :) Thank you textvoyage .

Re: FUSE error: "Couldn't play sound"
Hi PeterJ Thanks for your help. This is something new, never happened before and I use FUSE for about 8 years. All other apps including other emulators like FUSE for Linux (under WSL) work perfectly with good sound. I didn't change my hardware. I don't know if this is relevant but before this happen...

FUSE error: "Couldn't play sound"
Recently when I run Fuse for Windows I always get this message: "Couldn't play sound" and the Sound Enabled Option on Options menu is unchecked. Then I check the Sound Enabled Option and I get sound but after a while I get the same error message and the sound is desabled again. I already u...

Re: Coming soon: Speccy Soccer
I played the CPC version and I liked it but don't love it.
But as I can see in the video, the Spectrum version seems to be much better and very promising.
I can hardly wait to play it

Re: Did you have your own TV/monitor when you got your Speccy?
Yes. First a big black and white TV from 1986 to 1990 and then a color TV until 1996.

Re: Centauri Challenge - how to start?
I tried different emulators and different configurations (48K, 16K, 128K, 128k usr0, Timex 2048, etc) and like you I can't load the game.
I found this video and someone has the same problem:
Maybe the game wasn't correctly emulated.

Re: A usable version of Emlyn Hughes Arcade Quiz?
I tried waiting ages in Fuse with side B inserted after loading side A, it didn't work. I tried SpecEmu in 128 mode, it didn't work. I tried Spectaculator and... it did work! It's the only emulator I have that has no problem with it. I recall that Samurai Trilogy from Gremlin Graphics has always a ...

Re: A usable version of Emlyn Hughes Arcade Quiz?
Trying as hard as I can, I can't actually get to play Emlyn Hughes Arcade Quiz . I don't have a working physical Spectrum, so I usually emulate on a Windows PC, using Fuse. Yeap, I have the same problem when I try to load the game on FUSE. Use the Spectaculator Emulator and the game loads fine :)

Well, Slightly Magic from CodeMasters, beside the AY music, has a lot of new background graphics when loaded on a 128K. 128K images: https://i.postimg.cc/gwHN3WG4/128-01.png https://i.postimg.cc/r0ygJPmT/128-02.png 48K images: https://i.postimg.cc/VJM7LtTx/48-01.png https://i.postimg.cc/DWTxWZ38/48-...

It's not a game, it's a demo but Sgt Pepper 5 from Sgt Pepper it's a good example of smooth animation and beeper music during the action

You've captured the Mel Croucher Computer Fun Line audio as an MP3, but you've labelled it Cosmic Chaos.
Cosmic Chaos appears to be a reader game, and that's missing from your ZIP file.
