The missing 80h character is indeed set elsewhere when possible to win a space (it is set on a unused sysvar).PokeMon wrote:Today I tired to load some of your demo games but there seem to be not ordinary. There is missing one character at the end (display file), the ZX81 tapeinterface said there has to be the character 80h. All files with 80h last character could be loaded with no problem. EightyOne can load them with missing this character but I don't know how about Original ZX81. ZX81 tapeloader cancelled operation due to missing 80h character.
Anyway I tried to load in EightyOne Emulator and save new with SAVE command. Files seemed to be loaded and started but could not stopped via break. Even it was not possible to play or use, just showed a screenshot. I expected a little bit more from the demo version, I don't know if it was planned this way.
When really needed I must set this back. All demo games should give a playable game (although all with restrictions like no score or just 1 level etc...). Can you tell me which games give the problems? It MUST load otherwise the game has no use!
