.chr files from Chroma needed for support in SP-2-ZX81

Post by dr beep »

I found room in my latest emulator to add altered characterset from chroma interface.

I do need .chr files ( and the .p) from games to test and convert it.

Any files available or should I skip the development?

other positive fact; screenupdate is a bit quicker now.

Sounds useful. A number of .chr files for games can be found here, and the game .p files from www.zx81stuff.org.uk.

Thanks, so far I wrote a converter to alter .CHR into only bytes for character and data
The 18497 bytes JETPAC.CHR is reduced to 469 bytes of repeating char,8xdata and at end endmarker
Next is a loader to load that file over the characterset.
