I have changed the code so that URL now comes out as:

http://torinak.com/qaop#~128#l=https:// ... KL2NMG.tap

Please can you test?

Just for [mention]pavero[/mention] who created code, the fIle changed was playonline.php

Code: Select all

$model2 = $row['machinetype_id'] <= 3 ? "48" : "128";
changed to:

Code: Select all

$model2 = $row['machinetype_id'] <= 3 ? "~128" : "128";

There's a new bug though (in ZXDB) regarding Line. These two entries need merging:

Erm, has the above merge gone wrong? When I look up the ZXDB entry for Line now I get a load of broken links (no images) and the emulator links don't work.

I'm pretty sure it will come good when [mention]PeterJ[/mention] installs the update at SC. There's just been a new ZXDB update and the screenshots have probably been changed at source, but the DB doesn't match them yet.

This Pete Carter is also credited on Incentive's Moon Cresta and should have the roles "Load Screen" and "Inlay/Poster Art" according to the back of the inlay.


This is almost certainly the same person as Peter Carter who is credited with the artwork for Incentive's Confuzion.

The Serf's Tale is listed as being published in 1986, presumably because of the date on the loading screen, but the copyright on the inlay is 1987 and all associated reviews are from 1987
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=6955

However... the connected, earlier version of the game, "Adventure" is dated as being published in 1987 when in fact it was, going on the earliest review, published in 1986...
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=11469

(It had to be out before The Serf's Tale, because Serf's Tale was developed from it)

NOTE: *ALL*, as far as I can see, of the non-review magazine references on that entry are INCORRECT. Referring to other adaptations of the Crowther & Woods original... not Nigel Brooks' Adventure.
