Re: EightyOne variable bug

A fix has been implemented and should appear in the next release of EightyOne. I'm not sure when that will be.

Re: RAM Packs Alternatives?

I have an ZXpand+ and having trouble with wobble all the time. I ask the family not to breath near the table when I use the ZXpand+. Stange we can have so different experiences.

I did a bit more work on this, but still have some white bars at the top and bottom on the 60Hz build. The problem is that eliminating the white bars slows gameplay too much. So, here is where I've ended up.

Re: Tricks in BASIC

Hi, In BASIC, after a FAST/SLOW process, an unsightly scrolling can occur when exiting the FAST mode. To avoid this dropout of the screen frame, just add a PAUSE before the SLOW commande: 10 FAST (... your code..) 1000 PAUSE 0 1010 SLOW Have fun. ...and don't forget to add this line if running on f...
