Yes, I noticed that the previous 2.16 version was much slower than 2.15! I'll see the last one! Thank you, Johan!

Faster than light!! You rock!!!
Thank you so much, I will do some further testing tomorrow!

I must compile a new version. This version has a debuggerroutine active which slows the emulator down Wow, this sounds great! I'm looking forward to it! Furthermore I will inform geco about the potential bug in his Spemu, he may want to fix it, as his latest compiled version is from 2014. Thank you...

The difference between 1997 and 2020 is the fact that after loading the old emulator created n RST 8 error. Since my games write over sysvar the new emulator makes a JUMP to the NXTLINE-command. Otherwise my games could not run on the new emulator. Aha, so it's a matter of functionality... I see!!!...

Just out of curiosity, could you please think about what modifications you've made in the way that the emulator loads the converted .p to .tap files? I'm asking because of ...

dr beep, Okay! Next hurdle, convert .p files to .tap. What's the quick-n-dirty trick? . . keep it simple Hi butchi, in order to spare dr beep some time, here's all you need! ;) There are some games already converted by me, most of them run flawlessly! I even converted the excellent Biggoil and it l...

Yes, I imagined that, but nowadays most Zeddies are upgraded to 32k anyway

@Johan: Thanks for the detailed answer, I was just wondering (and hoping)... Now I understand that even though it IS possible, it is useless... Well, our beloved Zeddy is capable of many other impressive and unexpected things, so I won't consider that as a big disadvantage... ;) @Mark: Wow, thank yo...
