Thanks Pau1ie and Shawty, this is really neat!

Chet, agree it would be nice to have the Play and then Download buttons appear first before Explore...

Ooh, and if by chance somebody is ... can we have an Elk version too pleeeze?

I have this - Stuart I can happily loan/post you the manual if you're happy to do a nice scan?

There's a program called Cumana Disk Aligner (on the BBC Lives website IIRC) which I used to use in conjunction with head cleaning discs. It allows you to step the head across all tracks and also 'flex' the head back and forth between Track 0 and Track 40/80. Edit: here's the link - http://archive.r...

Happy for it to be posted to Pernod if that's ok with the two of you?

Tried both demos. Impressed! Eagerly looking forward to the next (and the next and the next and the next! ).

I have the weekend off and can't wait to try these Kees, thanks for releasing them all (and thanks to the original programmers too!). Fantastic achievement!

Now that the Retro Software website is back up and running (thanks Richard Toohey!) I've updated the Zap! page with downloads for all three formats that the game was originally released on: BBC Micro DFS (.ssd) BBC Micro Tape (.uef) BBC Master Compact ADFS (.adf) So you can now grab the Tape and Mas...

Hi Richard, have emailed you login info for the Retro Software site! Let us know how you get on! Thanks!

Thanks Richard, I've only just got round to swapping in your updated render.php file and it appears to have done the trick!

As it's now freely available to download (as of today) how about Retro Software's first release, Zap!? http://www.bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=1889 The Krystal Connection is also now free to download, but from what I remember, when we used to run it at events, the scoring mechanism wasn't ideal for hi...

Hi, this has happened before (where php upgrades have broken the indexer scripts, which were written many years ago!). If any php wizards can identify anything in the attached /render.php and reclist/reclister scripts that may be causing the problem, please let me know. If FTP access is needed, agai...

It did make it to market, as the Electron RX.

There was one advertised for sale here a few years back, if you check this link there's a PDF doc containing photos etc: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10740

Oops post corrected, I meant nothing in issues 3 and 5.

Ah sorry you're right, the corrections I posted were from Issue 2.

Have just checked Issues 3 and 5 have no Labyrinth corrections featured. Issue 4 has five corrections which I believe you're aware of.

Nothing in issues 5-8 either.

It's your lucky day, Lee!

Cheers Dave,
I specifically am looking to see if they printed any corrections to "Labyrinth" from Issue 1.
Thanks

Lee.

OK noted! Have set myself a reminder to check on Sunday.

I think I have this Lee, should be able to check on Sunday.

Can you check for the Gremlin ROM manual as well, please?:

Sorry, still haven't been able to access those pallets!

Okay, now that most have had their say,... I’m sure that this has indeed come up in the past. I think that as well as the idea of having a fund to help to buy rare/hard to get original software, the idea was also floated to assist in new developments (both hardware and software), and that one possi...

Can't make Cambridge sorry Richard!

Ah, that label was never designed to fit a Pegasus case - it was originally intended for the 'top' end of the case on a Cumana Disk Interface (as the original 'SEDFS' was a ROM upgrade for the Cumana product, which incidentally was supplied in a much larger case). I've seen a few original Slogger Pe...

Thanks all for the advice, I don't have an iphone but I'll give the VLC suggestion a try with another video when I get a chance, for now though I'm all sorted for the Mario vid (cheers Topcat! ).

Hi, does anyone have any ideas on how to download a video from the BBC website (it's one that's embedded within an article, rather than an iplayer vid). I managed this with ease a couple of years back but it looks as if they've locked it down since then, as I've tried various online tools and third-...

It's just the photo (screen appears rather over-exposed), it's looking and running fine

Ah, I took that during a break, sell-out session this afternoon!
