I don't understand these updates. When I click the link, I see the file has been added, but no mention of that its the Danish release, and the Danish red inlay hasn't been added. Am I missing the point here? Its also not added under RELEASES.

I'm pretty sure I did these, and included a comment about it being a Danish re-release. I'm not sure why they aren't showing. I'll check it out later.

I am little bit confused also. I would expect that ZX-DATA re-releaser will be added. Then I can add the inlay with a connetion on that re-releaser.

I've just checked the spreadsheet and I forgot to add the comment. I'll fix that in the next update. I didn't realise [mention]pavero[/mention] was waiting for a new ID.

But this is not a new ID is it? I thought it was just adding new material to the already existing ID 918?

[mention]Frankie[/mention], apologies. Doing the MIA is a convoluted process, so if you spot anything wrong please continue to raise it :-)

Not exactly for entry_id, even for label_id. Acually I was waiting for adding ZX-DATA as Re-release #3 for the ID 918. :)

Now we have TheChessPlayer(ZX-Data).tzx.zip file and wrong info about publisher - Quicksilva Ltd (UK). ;-)

Apologies for the radio silence over the last month or two. August through to October is my busiest time work-wise, so I don't get much time for other stuff.

Thank you :D

Just to clarify things, Great Fire Of London .TAP is not a bugfix per se, i.e. the game itself is not bugged; it is a working .TAP version for emulators and interfaces which do not support TZX files. The old .TAP file, inherited from the WoS archive, does not circumvent the game's custom loader and will never work.

The Seto games and chapters 3 and 5 in Cousin Horace were affected by the "AGD ULA Plus bug", a flaw in the game designer software that under certain circumstances, e.g. when running on a ZX Vega, made the game be displayed on the screen in false colors.

Cousin Horace chapter 2 revised edition also had a bug which on 128K models could lead to crackling parasite sounds being played in the background. This has also been fixed.
