Gp2xspectrum Won't Work Most Of The Time?

[javaguy]

Hi, I have GP2X spectrum and it won't load half of my TZX files. It loads Thrust and 3d construction set but it won't load outrun, Starstrike II, Contact Sam Cruise and a couple of others. In the case of most of them it gets to the loading splash screen but then just goes to the BASIC screen. Im at a loss for what to do.. does anyone have any ideas? I've had a look around but to no avail.

thanks!


EDIT: I'm an idiot, should this have gone in the "I need help" section ? Sorry

Use .tap files instead of .tzx ones
tzx support is too basic

hmm, how would I go about converting my TZX files to TAP ones? I get all my TZX's from one nice website...

TZX Vault, I suppose.

Well, I would recommend you to enter in World of Spectrum and search the games you want instead of converting them from TZX to TAP. Simply because TZX is able to emulate game protections and TAP isn't, so I don't think it would be easy to convert TZX files to TAP.

hmm, I didn't know worldofspectrum.org did TAP files, I got all my TZX's from there, but wasn't sure if 1980s TZX files were considered illegial roms. :rolleyes:

heh, silly me. Thanks all! I now dont have to feel astoundingly guilty downloading SNES games, when I can have nice abandonware Spectrum ones
