I believe it would just take loading it once to make sure, or LIST-ing it to see if any Copyright information will be displayed.

Given the system specs this runs under, it is just great! Thanks very much for sharing. The music sounds really nice, too... I wasn't expecting any such thing from the old Dragon hardware.

Congratulations!

This is great news, then. I will only have to "dump" all Basic programs from my ".vdk" files to such text files first, then go on with the FR > GB translation process. I assume memory must be quite tight with this game, so I will have to pay much attention to the length of translated text, though an...

That's a great trick - thank you! Just tried it on one Basic program from the 1st disk (the game seems to be packaged as 2 double-sided disks) and it worked. Yet... how does one revert back from a translated text file to a ".vdk"?! I checked the instruction manual and I understood the following: aft...

The easiest way to dump ASCII BASIC to file, is to run with "-lp-file filename" and type "LLIST" after loading. Easiest way to then load it in is to dump the text into a ".asc" file and CLOAD that. ..ciaran Ok. Just to make sure I got it right, did you actually mean: 1/ start the emulator as "XRoar...

But I remember getting to see a French, disk-based, role-playing game named "Graal Quest". At the momen...

Thanks very much for your reply, Ciaran: it sure was a great help. And, yes, having some kind of on-screen information display about any "specific modes" being activated would definitely be helpful...


Kind regards,
Lionel

Well, I do believe you should be able to find everything in there...

Going through the list of games on my "Arcade" disks, I could spot a few names that are very likely to be more Pac-Man clones, though not necessarily that "brilliant": Cyclops Gobbler Mega-Bug Pac-Tac 2 Pacdroids Pattipak Yellow Gobblers ... but I'm afraid you'll need to try those to find out how go...
