I made a WAV file of SchoolDaze with TAP2WAV converter (option 8Khz and 11Khz ) without success, however the loading works correctly with Stormlord.

I had a similar issue on my Pravetz, worked in slow mode, not in fast mode.

I used the standard english rom, nothing special

I must be a total retard, but in oricutron 0.9 I tried to do a normal CSAVE"FILE" and did not get a file in my oricutron folders.
The ORT export worked, but I wanted a TAP file, and failed exporting it.

Depends of the performance you are looking for, but the PLOT and SCRN functions can be implemented like that in C: void PLOT(unsigned char x,unsigned char y,unsigned char car) { unsigned char* screen=(unsigned char*)0xBB80; screen[x+(int)y*40]=car; } unsigned char SCRN(unsigned char x,unsigned char ...

Have you people tried to use the warp speed option (F6) instead of the overclock mode?

Interesting. Do you know if Tyran is doing funky things with interruptions (like does it use an IRQ to handle the time of day in the game or trigger special events), or if it has some form of protection running even after the game has been loaded? What I'm wondering is that perhaps the fast forward/...

That's kind of weird.
Don't really see what could cause that, except perhaps if there's something different in the way audio is handled, like some clipping or banding if the volume is louder...

First time I hear of these Psycho games

I can confirm that the link is valid. I had a mail exchange with mister Moore in 2006 and he pointed to this page as well. I think Simon had some mail exchanged with him as well, so perhaps we can know more from him :) But yeah, as you probably figured out I picked-up Defence Force as a domain name ...

I remember that the game was incredibly difficult and that the version I had had some broken pixels in the title picture, perhaps that's related?

Nice, thanks for the link
My uncle had the "Laser 200" (shown on the end page), what a piece of crap

Are the sites about Pravetz all dead? The link above doesn't seem to work, and the one from Fabrice's website, linking to http://www.sofiaprint.com/pravetz8d_bul/Pravetz_8D_en.html , doesn't work anymore. Seems like there's been a quite active scene in easter countries but I'm totally lost about wh...

For impossible mission, it's because it overlaps the page 4 variables, so just loading it crashes the system.
Try the one I attached

Just try Tap2Dsk?

It's already there, since Cumana is 100% Microdisc compatible
