Re: Mazogs for the ZX80
I've fixed a nasty bug in the port of Mazogs for the ZX80 that would randomly cause the game to crash. I've produced a fix for this and uploaded the new version of the game to my website. It can be downloaded using the link provided in this thread's original posting.

Re: New release of EightyOne available
In OPTIONS there is "TV emulation" which can be ticked or unticked but it does zilch except show the tick, no "BOX" brought up. Only just seen this posting. Does the problem still exist? It might be that the dialog is being displayed but is just appearing off screen. If so then with TV Emulation ti...

Re: Chroma 81 - SCART and Colour interface for the ZX81
It's no big issue, but do you know why in the EightyOne emulator the PC's cursor keys worked with the previous version, but not with this one? Here both keys move the base to the left. It's no big problem as this seems to affect only the emulator. The patch checked for the standard game keys (SHIFT...

Re: Chroma 81 - SCART and Colour interface for the ZX81
It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into the colours used and so I say run with it as you intend.
Attached is a new patched version of the game that supports both the standard control keys and the cursor control keys.

Re: Chroma 81 - SCART and Colour interface for the ZX81
Nice work! :D I agree with you that the first version looks better. Have you tried making the blue and green characters forming the aliens the same colour, which would give their colouring full symmetry? As requested, attached is a patched version of the game that uses the cursor keys. spaceraiders(...

Re: Chroma 81 - SCART and Colour interface for the ZX81

Re: New release of EightyOne available
On SourceForge I collated all the versions of EightyOne (and their source) I had collected over the years and also those I could find scattered across the Internet. Although I doubted anyone would ever have a use for these very old versions, it seems a shame to lose them. However, the set is far fro...
