Strange, are you sure it's not a problem with the cable? Have you tested it with other programs?

Yes I thought the same at first. Tried other games with no sound issues..
Strange....

So the UDG game can't be played with ZXspand+.?

BATZ is another good game with sound support, although it was written recently.

No the ZXpand+ has some Hi-Res capabilities, but requires some form of UDG interface such as the UDG4ZXpand or D K tronics board for UDG,sadly both are rare and coveted items.

Correct, the ZXPand with no other expansions will do WRX hires graphic but not UDG. I wish more software would support WRX hires mode.

Chroma81 is a rarity too..
We will end with lots of games for the emulators

May be the same
I only knows another graphically similar. But this is 100% accurate with the original, has 1 pixel scrolling and supports Chroma as well. A but slower. There's the spectrum version too..

I gave up on trying these downloads a while back as non of them worked for me, as in I always ended up with the full screen of pixelated pattern on loading, whichever version I tried. I'm using a real machine with internal 32k which runs all the other WRX stuff. And thanks to some of the game suggestions on here also now has sound!

Just tried the lateset version with my new(old) Zon x-81 and exactly the same.......Any suggestions welcome. :)
