|  Commando Libya CPlus4
Hi, I'm trying to play this game on VICE emulator.
Commando Lybia
but from what I've seen it seems that when i try to load it using autoload, it loads and run but stops there.

doesn't even show the message "this game is big bullshit". what could it be?
if it doesn't work then how are there screenshots? or are those fakes?

You have to force the loading at the beginning of BASIC, not using the generic LOAD command. Instead of it, you must use the DLOAD command (shortcut on key F2):
DLOAD"*" will work for you.
Oh and please: no more VICE, which's still a bugged emulator, use YAPE

Hi, because by default the emulators try to load the first program as a machine code program.
In fact the first program of this (that writes the BS text) is a BASIC loader.
So you should load it with LOAD"xyz",8: and not with 8,1.
I tested it with YAPE and Plus4emu, but will not touch VICE ( 9 out of 10 doctors do no suggest it  )
Not so bad for a BASIC game. Has music, sound effects, even HIRES animation and software sprite emu!

ok, i've loaded the game and it works.
but it seems that when i try to shoot the cursor only goes up and down.
also when i have to press keys to pass to next screen (intermission to game, etc) it seems that all the keys are fucked up, like i press random keys but nothing happens until i press a key (and i don't notice it) and goes to next screen.
for example i've pressed 3 once and worked but then no.

This should be the key "T", because it equals to the joystick shoot button, all joy buttons equallty mapped as keys.
(BTW "T" is visible in the initial BASIC code too)
I agree, only up and down was possible at my side too.

very strange indeed, since in the bonus level you can move in 4 directions.
maybe it's set like that? though i think it's kind of strange.

Nice to see the lack of love for Vice Plus4. I have NEVER used it and will NOT use it just because they ignored the C16/Plus4 scene for over 10 years!!! 
Yape aka Yet Another Plus4 Emulator for the Win.

another question, is it possible to rip sprites from cplus4 games? or the only thing you can do is to go for the "save screenshot" route?

Yes, of course. It is possible, but don't expect any convenient tools or way like on the C64. There's no hardware sprite feature, so everything is done in software. And there a "thousand ways" to do soft-sprites.
