Hi Mark, thanks for info.
I must admit that I'm not very keen in having the rated voltage of a 'lytic too far above that needed, although it does depend upon where and what the cap is being used for. Tank caps on a rectifier it's fine, but it can ... -

I think you missed a boss on your playthrough. It's actually hidden and easily missed. It's also quite possibly the hardest boss in the game too! Once you've beat that alien boss (the big boss with loads of small aliens knocking about) and the lantern pops ... -

Rich! scans the same way as me, 600dpi always, not cleaning tidying or suchlike as having the rough cut means we can always use software at a later date to tidy and as that improves might do us a diservice if we need to do it again if we find a newer bit ... -

Hi,
I've been having a look at the 128K game, and it's nice to see the improved loading screen and in-game graphics, it's a good work. On the other hand, then I decided to load it at normal speed, still using emulator, but without the "fast load" ... -

I suggest using the Firebird Beeploader for that extra special longer loading experience. Going to the supermarket, getting the weekly food shop, queuing at the post office then do a highstreet taste survey. It might just have loaded by that time. -

I wonder if it can be made any faster than this... I mean, without resorting to something like precomputed multiplication tables. Four more cycles could be shaved off by particularly aligned table, but I guess that's about it.
