Soko Ban

Whether it's Mire Mare or a BASIC tape you found in the attic, it needs to be preserved digitally. Post here and experts can help to do so.

Cheers both, I've added the files to the queue and sent the correction for model. Can I ask Massimo where his original file came from?

Sokoban is a good game but it's just a set of minigame levels in NetHack isn't it ;)

Hi mate :),
the .tap file is not 'strictly' the original one (sorry André, this was probably not clear in my e-mail), but the more similar possible to the original we currently have. I derived it from the original .z80, which was uncorrectly saved by the author as a 128K snapshot. It's not the first time I notice this (I often find/see 48K programs saved as 128K/+2/Pentagon .z80s, and I fix them whenever possible).

The previous .tzx file on Planeta Sinclair was derived (with the Z802TZX v1.2 utility) from the original .z80, but can't be loaded on a 48K Spectrum, and is missing the initial copyright message.
So... my .tap file is not original from the author (or sampled from tape), but surely is more original/correct than the .tzx file :).

Maybe it's probably better entitling the post on Planeta Sinclair as " Soko Ban (versão melhor)" - or something similar - instead of "Soko Ban (versão original)" ... :)
