Code: Select all

ld l, 250
cp l
jp nc, geater

I wanted the program to jump to "greater" label if a > 250. But obviously, it's "jp c", and not "jp nc" as I did.

Obviously not

Using "jp c" will jump if a<250, and "jp nc" will jump if a>=250.

He didn't recall exactly how to unlock it. Is there any additional information?

The key scan routine starts at location 0xbec3 and will jump to 0xc45f if I is pressed

Thank you!

This Crash review refers to Smash Out! from Pirate Software, not Smashout!! from Digital image.

What exactly you have to do to make it work?

Awesome!!!

Old WoS had 2 entries for the same game Lost in the Desert (aka Crash): https://web.archive.org/web/20180828133149/http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009914 https://web.archive.org/web/20171221153001/http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0015920 One of them says it was orig...

The following game IDs were removed from ZXDB, because they were duplicates of other existing entries: 10675 -> duplicate of 5106 12197 -> duplicate of 11417 15920 -> duplicate of 9914 26392 -> duplicate of 5007 These game IDs need to be changed in ZXSR too. Also: 8737 -> duplicate of 12286

A new ZXDB release is available now!

I couldn't find it either, but it's mentioned here:

http://loadnrun.speccy.org/lnrita/sueltos/sueltos.html

There are also 2 games created by Luca Bordoni in a similar situation, although from different years.

Game Arm Wrestle was supposedly published in magazine Load'n'Run. A few sources reference the Italian magazine, others the Spanish magazine.

However I could not locate it in any of them.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Awesome!!!

Was this mod ever finished? [MOD] The Hobbit 128 The name of the TAP file is Hobbit128_BETA.tap, so I'd like to know if a finished version is available somewhere or if it's planned to finish. It's not finished yet, but I plan to get back to it soon. The final version will contain more detailed loca...

About game Top Secret : According to old WoS , it was originally published in Italian magazine Load'n'Run and later republished in Spanish magazine Load'n'Run. However there's no evidence of the Italian version in the Load'n'Run issues. Since Spanish magazine Load'n'Run basically published either pi...

I noticed that the one I finished recently for Avalon was automatically put in the game's entry as 'source code - remote link' Notice it's also marked as "Source code repository - Disassembled". I guess others may go onto ZXDB as links in the same way? All disassemblies are stored in ZXDB...

Issue 31 of LNR ( see here ) lists the author of La casa stregata as a R. Vidoli (pirated games were presented without attributions). So the authors' initials would be T.S. = Tony Sherwood and R.V = R. Vidoli. It would not be the first time in the magazine's history that someone hacked a game and s...

Congratulations. Thanks to your extremely creative suggestion! You are properly mentioned in the credits :) EDIT: you didn't like my last forward standard optimization? in exchange for a byte you get 2% extra speed. I found it interesting enough 8-) Sorry, I forgot to post a reply for your last pos...

OK, it's done! The latest optimizations are now available in the official ZX0 repository: https://github.com/einar-saukas/ZX0 IMPORTANT: ZX0 version 2 now uses a different compressed file format (technically value bits in Elias(MSB(offset)) are now inverted). This new format allows ZX0 decompressors...

Thank you!!!

A new ZXDB version is now available! Just to keep count, ^this^ update marks update #121 (plus however many there were before SC). 121 is a very special number,* it's a star number and a centered octagonal number. Whatever the bloody hell that means. Also: The electricity emergency telephone number...

About game Snookered : According to old WoS , it was originally released by Top Ten Software in 1988 as "Snookered", then re-released by Crash in 1990 as "Break Point", and also included in covertape "Crash 75" in 1990 as "Break Point". I suspect most details ...
