Games that JSSpeccy doesn't LOAD or run on this site

[kolbeck]

The second block on the tape is 31036 bytes long (not including the flag and parity bytes). The first 272 bytes are loaded by the ROM into addresses 23755-24026, and then control is handed over to the custom loading routine. At this point in the tape block there is a series of 32 1s (00000001), which I presume is used as the pilot tone for the rest of the data that follows. Very peculiar indeed.

Yes, that's really clever - and when looking at the info of the TAP, I understand how it works, as the BASIC program loaded bye the ROM is only the first 272 bytes.

That is weird.

By the way, Removal Deluxe is similar: it also has a loading routine in what is contended memory on a standard 48K Spectrum.

I can't get this to load on either ZX Spectrum 48K or ZX Spectrum 128K in both SPECTRUM and USR0 mode.

It seems to be starting the custom loader fine, but it just hangs when loading is done. Used the TAP and a TZXDuino device

All of them work on ZXSpin 0.7 emulating Spectrum 48K. None of them look like a 128K program.

Perhaps the pause between blocks is too short in these images, so they only work in certain emulators.

Yeah, I got Removal Deluxe to load on Fuse as well - not sure which settings I did fiddle with

Some more I've found on my travels through the archives:

• Worm - TAP file is malformed
• A Mina
• Dark Star - first TZX LOADs Spectacle instead; second TZX fails
• El Constructor - unresponsive to keyboard input
• Saimazoom 2 - R Tape loading error
• Sea Fight
• Swiss Navy - "C Nonsense in BASIC, 150:3" when RUN
• Task Force

Okay. I have tried Krakatoa in JSSpeccy3: Must be loaded using LOAD "" CODE

Here are some 128K games that don't work in JSSpeccy on this site:

• Figus
• Logo: Part I
• Shuriken
• Ucieczka ze Spejs-Szipu
• Model Railway Timetable Software

FWIW, I haven't been able to get Fuse to LOAD and run these games either.

• Figus

It seems the tape version requires a Pentagon, but the disk version works with the Spectrum.

I haven't been able to get Fuse to LOAD and run these games either.

You mean the tape versions? Because I just tried the TR-DOS version of Figus in Fuse and it loaded and ran fine.
The tape versions might be automatic conversions, likely untested to begin with.

You mean the tape versions?

Yeah, I've only been checking tapes so far.
