« Last post by geco on 2023.September.05. 18:17:48 »I gave up at level 10 also after some attempts 
, then i turned into fixing the 52 seconds issue 
Other small thing could be added, using FF segment if it is an ep64 machine, in this case the game could run on ep64, and a soft reset routine could be added also

I miss the sound effects.

That's much better.
I found 2 not critical bugs:
The first one came from the CPC version.
When the level is restarted, the cursor outside the redrawable area does not disappear.

Second - keyboard has some strange keys definition
IJKL keys - OK
Classic QAOP keys (P doesn't work - ` instead)
External Joy 1 has wrong definitions
ExtJoy1Up - not used
ExtJoy1Down - Left
ExtJoy1Left - not used
ExtJoy1Right - Right (OK)
ExtJoy1Fire - not used
ExtJoy1Fire2 - Restart level (OK)

Thanks, that made it simple to fix, I would have spent days trying to figure out the LPT page issue.
I've fixed that problem as well the header size byte. I've added some sound effects and updated the colours (I had the rgb colour bits around the wrong way).

Kicsit mégis túl gyors volt a tempó, visszavettem belőle. A zene közben is változik most már a tempó, ez talán nem feltűnő. Így is maradt benne rész, ahol a tempó ugyanaz, mint a korábbi verzióban. Egy részen átírtam a kíséretet más hangzásokra, hogy ne fájduljon meg az ember feje a sok berregő gitárhangtól. Talán jobb lett.

« Last post by geco on 2023.September.03. 14:51:27 »The problem was that FF segment was used for Graphics page, EXOS LPT is located on FF segment, and the program deleted Graphich page 1st and then changed the LPT from EXOS LPT to Game LPT, so LPT pointer remained on empty segment, and took 52 seconds until it reached a "reload" bit somewhere in the memory.
I changed Graphics segment from FF to FD, 2 byte should be patched 1 where FF segment was paged in, and other at Graphics address in LPT.
Now the game starts immediately.
