New version: AL'S DOUBLE BILL
Hi everyone, the new version of the AL'S DOUBLE BILL compilation is out!
This is a collection of my first two games, Lost In My Spectrum and Apulija-13, as a disk-only release, specifically devised for 48K and 128K Spectrums equipped with Beta Disk or similar interfaces, or MGT Plus D, or memory card based interfaces such as the DivIDE or DivMMC, with the ESXDOS 0.8.5 or newer operative system.
It has also been tested (under SpecEmu emulation) for use with the Pentagon and TK-90X/TK-95 clones; these two machines in particular will be recognized as 48K Spectrums, and both games will run slightly faster on them.
The management program will automatically recognize if it is running on a 48K or on a 128K machine, and, for the Beta Disk format, if it is an original interface or a derivated one, such as the Arcade AR-20, IDS-91 or CBI-95.
File formats: TRD, SCL, MGT.
Languages: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese.
Please read the ADB.TXT file before use, and enjoy!

Thanks a lot Peter
In fact, the management program has been completely rewritten in Z80 Assembler from scratch, the previous one was in BASIC - slow as hell and unable to let the user switch from one game to another, as well as change the language.
Moreover, the old ADB was a 128K-only release; this is also suitable for the 48K, without any need for separate files.

Re: New version: AL'S DOUBLE BILL
Hi everybody,
I just found that a bug in the game management program for Apulija-13 128K TR-DOS version always made the Italian language version of the game (not of the user interface) be loaded, regardless of what language had been chosen by the user. This has been fixed.
The .MGT version was not affected by this bug.
Please download the file again from the link in the first post, the corrected files will (hopefully) be added to the SC archive with the next update.

I noticed your profile and would like to offer you my project. We can discuss the details over chat. The project is to create an arx program from an autolisp program.
