I am pretty cool with that inlay.

Where can I order a copy with it?

I have this cassette, (but not the Vallation128 underpants). I'll scan & type up later.
There really isn't necessary. I have sent them to Einar already. ;-)

It's too late for the cassettes already made, but the loading screen gets overwritten by the 'Bytes:' message. Needs a good dose of POKE 23739,111 :oops:

Yeah, I know. That totally slipped my mind and I'm equal parts embarrassed and annoyed over it :oops:

Could be worse: imagine burning a commercial era arcade coin-op like R-Type and repeating one of the levels :shock:

Anyway, you've already redeemed yourself by fixing SQIJ.

The cassette versoin hasn't sold very well though. Terribly in fact. I wonder why? ... could it be the legacy of the original?

Anyway, I've just spent a couple of days this week fixing more SQIJ btw - this time the arcade version.
It works perfectly in MAME, but MAME doesn't emulate the hardware 100% - only enough, so you're not sure it works perfectly in a cab before it's been burned onto chips and tried on a real JAMMA PCB. SQIJ didn't work 100% - there were 4 issues, but hopefully I've been able to fix them. I'll know later this weekend. Looking forward to being able to call SQIJ completely done 8-)
