New Adventure Game - The Crystal Frog

[gus]

I'm afraid I'm having trouble too.

I've tried it as a fastload, standard load (!) and loading from SD card. I've tried 2 different 32k ram expansions with the same result

This is typically what I see:

*edit*
My expansions are mapped from 8..40k - the binary is 32k - I think this may be the problem

Any chance there's an 8k data block that can be relocated?? Perhaps you could have a 2-part loader - part 1 copies data to 8k then load""s the second part ???

/me wishes hard

Hi sirmorris and thanks you for your very good bug report
I think that the problem comes from the D_FILE location, I can change this where I like, but, It will help me to know how to make it fail on the emulated emviroment too. This way I can check the problem and then test the fixed version.

I'm using EO on and I see when the program starts some screen special effects some effects that I do not program , so I think that in the real hardware the effect is not the same but have the same root.

If you can help to make it fail on EO I will try to resolve the problem here and then we can try again on the real ZX

Thanks again
Gus

Hi,

Sad New !

- It may be the "P" file... The original one seem to have 2 display memory in.
- There are a bug while the D_file is beatween 32k and 33k ! (due to the /M1)
We had to create a black rem filled with garbage to rise this display memory.
/or/ diet the rem, to lower the D_file segment...
- load the text part in the 2000h to 4000h, but fast-load can't be used !


Have More fun ?

Hi Xav !!!

I will try to make it fail on the emulator first, then I will made the changes in order to sort this little problem

Fun must go on

Okay, so it might not be my RAM Packs being a bit on the dodgy side - this is good to know as they work independently from each other.

I hope that this can be fixed so I can fire it up on a real '81

Regards,

Shaun.

Hi,

The XuR had been updated - Rel. 16-07-10.
(a bug on the disassembler window: after the 7FFFh memory offset !)

I know this is a very old thread, just wondering if Gus or anyone else has progressed The Quill for the ZX81 and if it's still available?

HI,
I started a TheQuill mapper in VB, but it steel a project… [edit: VBmapper]





I advice you to use "the city of Alzan" ("The ZX81 pocket book"), engine…

Thanks for the info on Alzan, I'll take a closer look although I'm particular interested in The Quill.
How does your on-going Quill project work? Can it load ZX81 files or are they standalone maps?

Hi,
Yes, but not on a zx81. (??? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=320)
You had to script it on a Spectrum …
