Hi, the link to the RZX file of Mushroom Soup doesn't download properly. Any fix ?

Yep, that's exactly how I did it but I just can't get it to work on my PC (I've also installed Python3). I've decided to do it manually now with ZX-Block Editor as I have noticed that some games etc. have more than one Program block, so tzxsplit would split these up. Thanks for your help anyway!

Where did you put the .bat and the source .tzx ? In the tzxtools folder ? I keep getting an error saying -

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tzxlib'

I have no idea what's going on with this python3 rubbish

So I got that program from Alessando's site. If I load a TZX that has 3 games/demos on, how do I save them all as separate TZX's ? It looks like I still have to manually edit the TZX and save each file separately ?

Maybe this? It also tells on how to make a TZX file for just one program; Here is the link: https://timwolverson.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/how-to-convert-zx-spectrum-programs-from-cassette-tape-to-tzx-files/ I hope this is the thing you are looking for. Unfortunately I think that's just for converti...

Hi. Is there a Windows tool that can split TZX's into multiple TZX's ? I primarily wanted to split the Crash Covertapes into separate files as the Retroarch emulator will only load the first thing on the tape. I found a tool called 'splittzx' which is exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work...

Hiya! Awesome updates. It's been nearly 2 years, still no US Gold or Elite inlays ?

A question to anyone that knows about loaders. What is the 'Gargoyle' loader and is it just a mix up ? I tried different versions of 'Heavy on the Magic' and 'Lightforce' and they look exactly like the 'FTL' loader (and Lightforce was published by Faster Than Light).

Thankyou! That's just what I wanted. Is there any reason why you can only search for 7 different schemes on this site compared to the old WOS Infoseek which had 32+Custom ? And how come they're not mentioned in the main SC version, only in compact ? Also, is there an easy way that I can save that li...

I was wondering if there was a list of different Loader types and the games that used them ? For example, which games used Speedlock 7 etc. I see that you can list all Speedlock games using the site search but it doesn't tell you which one it uses. This site also only seems to be able to search for ...

E-SWAT and Double Dragon II have smaller screen sizes in the 48K versions.

That sounds great!

Thanks for the list. 30 games, is that all there are that have a seperate 48K & 128K version ? Seems a very small amount. Maybe these are only the 128K only releases ? I'm sure there are a lot more that had a 48K version on one side of the cassette and 128K on the other side.

Is there somewhere or someway to find a list of games that have a separate 48K and 128K version ? I've been sorting out the filenames of my old collection and remember that I only downloaded the 128K versions (many years ago). I would also like the 48K versions but don't know which have both. I trie...

I bought an Amazon Firestick 4K at the beginning of the year when it was reduced to £35. It's not bad but because of the Android version you get laggy sound which is quite off putting when playing retro games, they are hard enough as it is ! The sound even lagged horribly on KODI. I had to make an a...

People have been asking for years (literally) for an update to lr-fuse but nobody seems to care if it works or not. There are several options that don't work at all like 'tape loading speed' and if you change the fire button then the virtual keyboard stops working ! Huh? I use lr-fuse every day and...

Fuse seems to be unloved on Retropie. The standalone version is up to date but you can't map any of the buttons when using a joypad/joystick and one of the main buttons keeps opening the menu which can't be changed ! Plus there is no shader support etc. People have been asking for years (literally) ...

Wow! This is by far the best one i've seen :D . I used to use KodeMunkie's 'Image to ZX Spec' but your's creates much better images even at default settings. Would it be possible to add an option to make a slideshow tape in Spectrum format (similar to what KodeMunkie's does) ? I found one that can m...

These are a great nostalgia hit ! Is there any way to download them all at once ? I don't want to leech the site.

Thanks for all the remasters Pavero! How's it going with the US Gold inlays ? Just wondered, are you waiting to get the full set before posting because I think you said some of the compilations were missing ?

Thanks for the list. I take it you've cleaned the list of all the inlays that you have but haven't posted yet ?

@pavero Hi, are you keeping a list of what's missing when you do these inlays ? If so, any chance you could share it ? For instance, what's missing from the Codemasters inlays, maybe the CD Pack. I saw the basic list on the previous page but what are the '+' signs next to some of them mean ? Thanks ...

That's what I thought. Only the white AcroJet inlay has a US Gold mention. Also, the Kixx release of 'Project Stealth Fighter' is in the MicroProse category.
Looking forward to your work.

Thanks for the link but i'll have to pass on that as the filesizes are way too big for my internet connection ! I found another popular publisher almost completely missing from your remasters, 'US Gold'. There are only a couple of games in there. Are 'Acro Jet' and 'Silent Service' correct as US Gol...

How's it going [mention]pavero[/mention] . I was browsing a few inlays today and noticed that there is no 'Elite Systems' inlays !? Only the very old WOS ones. Do you have any good quality Crash + Sinclair User etc. covertape inlays in nice quality ? Keep up the good work !
