Re: New File Browser for ZX-UNO

On my real ZX-UNO, the pzx files works ok. No problems. Same here - works on my ZX-UNO - but someone who isn't the author saying it works carries far more weight. :) I'm not sure whether you need the 2mb version for pzx playback to work? You also need a recent core for it to work correctly as well....

Re: New File Browser for ZX-UNO

Today I played with the RVM ZX-Uno emulator and this new browser and I really like it. :) Tried various types of formats and everything works well, except the pzx. I made a few pzx images in the ZX-Blockeditor, copied LOADPZX file to the BIN folder, but when I try to run the game it shows Loading: ...

Re: Delta's Shadow

I've completed the game twice - on normal and on hard modes, and I'm playing it on a nightmare mode now. Still easy enough, but I've got a feeling that I'm missing some secret. Cannot find last stars and have not idea on where to find them. May be I would unlock them somehow near the end of the gam...

Everything's in BASIC - I haven't converted it to any form of machine code yet - so all the calculations will be on display in the listing.

Re: Delta's Shadow

I bought the game and played it a bit.
Great game.
On Spectaculator and PC Windows (here I played as Next and Classic Spectrum).
Need time to play well because there are too many buttons!

By the way, would it be possible to play this game in a 128K normal Spectrum model like the +2A somehow? Maybe in a Dandanator?
If I understood, it is a TRD game. So you will need a divIDE.

I gave up creating Android apps a few years ago due to the hassle of Google and the hoops you have to jump through. It's almost like now that all the "hobby devs" have fulfilled their purpose in creating lots of games for Play back in the early 2010's, they don't want pesky small-time use...
