New loading screen for Vixen

Post by jpnz »

Some superb new artwork for Vixen by MAC was released earlier this week:

I have updated the Speedlock TZXs with this new screen - slightly adjusted by adding the timer taken from the old screen - download from here

Stunning work. I looks like a digitised version of the poster.

My antivirus (Bitdefender) treat that link like a virus... even when I tried to download it using JDownloader.

I don't know how hard would it be, but also I guess that the timer should be on the upper right side, printed over the Martech logo.

That's a great looking screen!

Now we just need someone to fix up the actual game to match!

I could access the files, but couldn't get the TZXs to load in Fuse.

Fuse sometimes has a problems correctly recognizing some custom loaders.
In Media option, uncheck "detect loaders" and "use tape traps" option, leave everything else checked, play tape manually with F8 and it will work.
I also tried it on SpecEmu, it works without issues...

Settings that worked for me, and don't require starting the tape with F8 or messing with the Tape Browser:

/ Auto load media
/ Detect loaders
? Fastloading - It's a lot faster when ticked, but unticked it loads at real time speed and gives you more time to enjoy the new screen
x Use tape traps
x Accelerate loaders
/ Use .slt traps
