Darkman on SpectaculatorI'm using version 5.2 of Spectaculator but am unable to get Darkman to load. I've tried it on Spin and it loads fine. Anyone else have this problem?
Seconded. The Vault team do indeed do a fantastic job (I'm not having a go either)
I'm sure they'd appreciate some more donations to help them source more tapes as well :)
Cheers,

ZX81 and ZX80 emulator on Spectrum 128KA couple of weeks ago we were talking about a new ZX81 emulator for the 128K. Someone beat me. More details at [url="http://www.fruitcake.plus.com/S…
Hi Jon,
No worries, I wouldn't have posted the URL to a public forum otherwise ;))).
BTW, any chance of CSW2 support for the next release of Spectaculator ?
Cheers

Krakatoa (original version on the vault) seems duff as well.
Loads on RealSpec with flashloading on but nothing else.
Re-release on the Vault is fine though.

There a few utility type progs on WoS for it and I spotted a 'Magazine on a tape' in Crash but little else. Probably not worth the effort.

Already did on Monday (or was it Tuesday?).
No reply yet though. Perhaps the e-mail went into the ether!

I expect so. AFAICT, it's the same as CSW1 but with Zlib compression.

Are any of the C=64 emulators GPL'd? If so, you could always add support yourself :)

It could easily just be a bad dump. Doesn't take much for the data to be wrong and the checksum (if you can call it that) to be correct.
The re-release looks, at a glance, identical apart from using different filenames.

Interesting Jon, cos there was absolutely no way that anything would load through the MIC on my 48k+, but would on the rubberkeys we had previous to that.
Which is why I think it's a board issue thing.
