Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
The zip contains and SNA a BMP and a TXT file. The Sna is dual compatible between original 48k and Next. To use on a next, create a sub folder and place all files inside it and run the Sna file from the next browser. Instructions are in the TXT file on how to do this.
maybe things have changed in cspect since i wrote it? The sna self detects if it thinks its running on a spectrum next so there is nothing to do. Ensure when you run the sna under the next browser or cspect command line ensure to choose next rom and not 48k rom to run under. Ensure that the bmp file is also in the same directory. When you run and quit the game on the next it should also create a hi score save file in the same folder after playing the game. I dont have my systems setup anymore to test so just going off memory here, but other people have run it succesfully from other screen captures on youtube i have seen.
Cursory glance at the cspect readme i guess you will need to run cspect with command options -zxnext -nextrom -mmc=c:/path to folder/ ???
Well, this is a cool G&W port! I had to use SnaptoTap to get it into the TAP format required by the android tape loader app but otherwise it runs fine on a real 48K.

Juan.
I can only find the ZX Spectrum version within the zip file. Has the Next version been removed?

Thanks, but does it work in Cspect also, please? Sometimes I'll do that if it saves a bit of time (and a lot of faff when it comes to capturing :) )
yes it does.
When I tried it in CSpect, it just defaults to the regular Spectrum version, though. How do I make it specify the Next version, please?

This is just donkey kong jr
Correct. This was by design. If you read the instructions if was fairly evident. I fail to see your point in your statement?
Ok
