Spectrum Computing

game has non-standard loader and the version in the CoverTape is digitized with mistakes

game cannot even be begun
I managed (having bought the cassette) to make (by means of friends) the correct dump

Hi @goodboy Just tested the version on the crash tape, and seems that I'm unable to play the demo, is that the error you mention?
Thanks!

yes, early the known version contains mistakes

But this is the version that was distributed back in the day, correct? Or is this something related to the preservation?

the known version is digitized with mistakes
I made the correct TZX

Thanks Goodboy!

I believe we could add it to the database. It already contains some game images labeled as BUGFIX with corrected bugs and bug decrcription,
I suppose it's the case here.

Yes thanks goodboy.

We'll need to decide exactly where to put it - inserted into the Crash demo as a bugfix of the compilation, or with StDragon. I'll have a chat with the guys and we'll find a home for it.

Why mark it as a bugfixed version if the bugs aren't in the original release?

Yeah, just update the Side B of the magazine’s TZX with this working version of Saint Dragon. No need to draw attention to it.

yes, this correct decision

Okidoki, I've put it together to create this Side 1* (not B as stated above).

I can't get goodboy's file, nor the StDragon in the Side 1 above, to load in (my favourite) ZX-SPIN 0.666, but it works in Spectaculator.

Good enough?

*the final file will not have this name.
