Psychedelia in "line mode"?

Post by Bolton80 »

Hi all. I'm trying to load Psychedelia (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3 ... sychedelia).

Looking at Crash 93 (it's on the tape) it says you need to load it in "line mode".

I've never heard that term before. What does it mean? I'm using a +2a.

The text column continues below the screenshot, it should read

Load Psychedelia with

Code: Select all

LOAD "" CODE
The "line mode" refers to one of the features of the program itself (press the L key to toggle Line Mode on and off).

It's seems to crash on +2A (at least in my emulator) though, even in 48K or USR 0 mode.

Thanks @flatduckrecords

That's the problem with pdfs. Can't see a lot of the page at once and can occasionally skip to the next column without realising what's below.

Quick fix:

Code: Select all

1 CLEAR 29999: LOAD "1" CODE : LOAD "2" CODE : POKE 46061,59: RANDOMIZE USR 44124
