Re: New Utility Z80onMDR - Transfer Z80 snapshot to Microdrive Cartridges

Post by TomD »

v3.0 of Z80onMDR and v1.0 of Z80onTAP released. http://tomdalby.com/other/z80onmdr.html

With the help of a couple of users (Steve & Massimo) I've adapted the snapshot launcher in order to have a high level of compatibility and remove screen corruption. Full details of how this new 4 stage loader works can be found on my website if you fancy a read.

Other major improvements include:
- Can load 48k & 128k SNA snapshots as well as Z80 including Pentagon
- Can force 48k to help with some wrongly snapped 128k snapshots
- Added a trainer so you can POKE memory locations to add infinite lives or similar
- Added a pause on load so you can admire the loading screen :-)

Some other small additions so you can tweak how the snapshots load to you hearts content.
