Back to forum Reply to this topic Go to last reply Posted By Ulysses777 on 2003-03-07  Just wondering... ...I've noticed that Wolf Pack, UXB and Gnasher don't have .TAP files, and Wolf Pack and UXB don't have covers either. I have all these games somewhere, is it worthwhile getting .TAP's and scans of them? Posted By Csabo on 2003-03-07  Re: Just wondering... Absolutely! We would love to have those... If you find them and have the time, TAP'em and scan'em, they will find a good home here at Plus/4 World, and will be appreciated by many! Posted By MIK on 2003-03-07  ... Ulysses777 your now looking into the scarry stuff I haven't done yet. All 3 are normal loaders and yep they take time to create and test. Looking at a blue screen is head doing and then to find out it does'nt work on plus4 let alone the TAP is even more of a nightmare If you get the time that would be cool. Some day I'll get back into gear and do aload more. Kind regards, Posted By Ulysses777 on 2003-03-07  Done... Here are the TAP's... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ulysses777/gnasher.tap.zip http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ulysses777/uxb.tap.zip http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ulysses777/wolfpack.tap.zip And here are the covers...(I've got higher res scans if needed ) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ulysses777/uxb_cover.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ulysses777/wolfpack_cover.jpg Note that only UXB has a completely normal 'blue' loader. Wolf Pack seems to have an normal loader, but it loads one program which then loads another program (and turns the screen purple). It's also a bit erratic, sometimes there's a cursor flashing, sometimes not. This happens on both my Plus4 and on Yape. Another strange thing about the tape itself, is that it's completely inaudiable on a normal cassette player. (But I know nothing about how tapes actually work ) Gnasher has a turbo loader which I could only get to work in a halfwave TAP. Posted By MIK on 2003-03-08  .. That shows you the last time I loaded Gnasher up (many years ago). Golf and Skelby from YES! Software don't have turbos The higher res covers would be cool if you could be so kind. What DPI did you scan at? Looking at your piccys they look great. My scanner was cheap so I jumped upto 300DPI so i did'nt get the odd colour clash lines in the picture as seen on some older scans Cheers! Posted By MIK on 2003-03-08  .. Gnasher and Wolf Pack instuctions I'll sort out soon and as for UBX leave that to me as I'll scan the instuctions much like Psychedelia I don't mind typing but UXB has way to much Posted By Ulysses777 on 2003-03-15  Hi-res covers Hi, I've finally sorted out the hi-res covers, you can get them here and here. (suggest you right-click and "save target as...") (Images are 1.44MB and 1.16MB respectively, 600 DPI) Back to top Reply to this topic Copyright © Plus/4 World Team, 2001-2024
