Trap Door - minor glitches

Both the TAP and ZX Megafiles versions have some minor glitches that weren't in the other releases that I've played. They're not game-breaking, but I'd just thought I'd point them out anyway.

First off is Boni's head. When you pick him up for a hint and then place him down, his positioning is lower than it should be.

Lastly, the floor detail in the room where the weight is is missing!

Like I said. Nothing game-breaking, but worth pointing out.

    Hi mate, the very first thread I started on this forum was about this problem. Here it is :)

    I think you'll find that the problems are actually game breaking, if you read what I posted about them. You can't place the tray on the stove to cook the eggs so you can't actually complete the 'boiled eggs' task (and therefore the game). Use the tzx file instead :)

    Wow! Cheers for pointing that out! The version that appears on the ZX-Megafiles tape is the same as the TAP. Obviously it wasn't tested properly!

    In the meantime, the TAP version should be labelled as corrupted/broken.

    I do use the TZX version for playing on emulator, but I've been trying to get this game onto +3 disk and have difficulty in understanding the loader code for the game (loading stripes are cyan and black, and Berk's eyes move). Now I've done similar tape-drive transfers before, but this has really left me stumped! Normally with machine-code based loaders you look for IX, DE and JP instructions, but I can't seem to find any of those in this code. Perhaps someone with more experience with machine code than I can examine it?

    Just noticed that a new TAP version has been uploaded :-)

    Same loader though.

    No the bugs don't appear on this new TAP version. It's just that it uses the same loader as the TZX version. Weird considering it doesn't use the normal ROM loading routine.

    Here's where I found out about the new TAP: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34826

    I think the Alternative Software re-release uses the same loader as well if I'm correct.
