Re: SpecEmu stopped working on my system
Well, it seems I found something. As soon as a file is opened, the emulator keeps writing its path and name in the specemu.ini file again and again, until it is not closed by force in the task manager. File0=E:\Spectrum\DivIDE\Fls.tap File1=E:\Spectrum\DivIDE\Fls.tap File2=E:\Spectrum\DivIDE\Fls.tap...

Re: SpecEmu stopped working on my system
I tried closing the program, reopening it, erasing it together with the INI file, putting it into a different directory, changing the priority in Task Manager, resetting the PC and trying again all of the above... nothing changed.

Re: Flying Shark mod fix needed
@Alessandro : Sorry for the side topic but I couldn't help noticing the original file is .trd and yet you were able to make a .tap file? Do you know how to do that conversion or did it work just this time? Put simply: You cannot convert a TRD file to a TAP per se. Even if the files on the disk imag...

Flying Shark mod fix needed
Another modification by goodboy , Slider and Tiboh, this time of Flying Shark. The mod adds sound effects and music from the Amstrad CPC version. Once again, when run on the 128/+2, it will show some nasty "snow effect" screen corruption, but only when game starts, not in the title screen,...

SpecEmu stopped working on my system
SpecEmu stopped working on my system today. I launch the emulator, open a file - tape image, snapshot etc. - and everything seems to work as normal. Then I reset the emulated computer. All of a sudden, and without any apparent reason, clicking on the menu items hangs the emulator, and I have to clos...

Re: Games with multiple parts AND multiple genres

Two games licensed from Spanish comic books, Mot and Mortadelo Y Filemon II, are divided into very different parts as well. A...

Re: Little bugs in the database 6
Not a bug, rather an integration. By perusing inside its machine code block with Tapir, I found that Spectron has been authored with Wye Compiler.

Re: Definitive list of games incompatible with +2A/+3 and of compatible versions (if any)
Ast A. Moore kindly provided a fixed TZX file that will work on the +2A/+3 under +3 BASIC and will show the mice from level 5 on as it should. For some strange reason, that does not seem to happen when you load the original unfixed file under 48 BASIC or USR 0 mode. The list has been updated accordi...

Re: Metro Cross AY mod - fix needed
Thanks
A TAP file of this fix will soon be added to the TAP files for the DivIDE collection.
Just for the record, the AY mod was made by Slider and @goodboy in 2013.

Re: i cant get this piece of assembly to do what i want
You also need to check if A hits 128 (CP 128), exiting the loop in that case (RET Z), if you want to print the character set only.

Re: Metro Cross AY mod - fix needed
When loaded under +3 BASIC or in USR 0 mode, the game - either the original US Gold release or the modification - will jump to 15872 for some unknown reason at the start of level 5 or, in USR 0 mode, as early as the middle of level 4. In the original Spectrum ROM, the standard character set is store...

Re: Metro Cross AY mod - fix needed
I don't speak Russian. Besides, I just found that the problem also occurs with the original US Gold release, so it is a case of incompatibility with the +2A not depending from the modification.

Re: Metro Cross AY mod - fix needed
Hi bob_fossil , thank you for the suggestion :) It seems that on later levels that address for the IM2 table is too low, with obstacles appearing out of nowhere in the lowest lanes and other glitches, so I moved it to 57856 and so far it seems safe enough to hold it there. http://disegnareconlaluce....

Metro Cross AY mod - fix needed
This is a hack of Metro Cross which will play the AY music tracks of the Amstrad conversion in the background. It will load on 128/+2/+2A/+3 Spectrums with a DivMMC and ESXDOS, or with an emulator like Fuse which can emulate the Beta 128 interface attached to them. http://disegnareconlaluce.altervis...
