Hi @Gears of Games,

I'm locking this thread as the user has asked for their account to be deleted.

It seems unusual to ask for assistance, get help and then delete your account.

@_dw,

Many of your z88dk observations are answered in Derek's comprehensive guide. Z88dk was a mystery until I worked through it. The website documentation isn't great
