Re: Little bugs in the database 5

That reference has to be wrong then, like the mentions of label and price, which are correct in the database instead.

Level 5

The end-of-game message says "Programmed by Marc Symonds", yet a certain Steve Joyce, not otherwise known, is listed as its author.

Re: Definitive list of games incompatible with +2A/+3 and of compatible versions (if any)

A small update:
  • The Erbe and Hit Squad re-releases of Batman are compatible with the +2A/+3. I added a TAP file based on the former, which can also be found in the TAP collection for the DivIDE/DivMMC, and removed the fix from section 2.
  • I found Regulus to be incompatible and made a fix for it.
