OK, cool, I'll have a go in the none-too-distant future.

I seem to have some issue when trying to play both versions of If I Had A Million (Adventure). Whereas on the Dragon (the actual machine), the game shows the title screen and then starts me off with a large amount of money, on XRoar the game shows the title screen and then starts the game by saying ...

This is well underway and I have tried to source all the different games, cover scans, inlays, etc that are available on the Internet (from MANY locations) and also create proper instructions. I've also added all of the reviews from the magazine Personal Computer News (www.personalcomputernews.co.uk...

Wow, well done guys. I felt sure someone would be able to rescue them. I am slowly trying to learn about the Dragon but it's not necessarily very easy when I didn't own one in my youth and there's no real Newbie's Guide out there on the Internet. When it comes to rescuing BBC and Acorn Electron game...

I think the cassettes were recorded on the same cassette recorder so I don't think it'll work, unless I can source a high quality cassette recorder to record the output of the Dragon and swap them around during loading/saving process.

Will probably take about 12 mins or so to download as big files.

They will load ok on the real Dragon yes. It's a second hand one and it has the same cassette recorder with it that they were presumably recorded on.

The .wav files are quite big, but I'll certainly upload them and you can have a go. Give me a half an hour or so and I'll put a link to them.

I've been buying up Dragon software on eBay recently. I find most of it transfers to .wav format pretty easily, which can then be loaded into xRoar, but I've hit problems with the above two titles. They don't seem to be available anywhere on the Internet. The tapes I've got are pirated versions and ...

Heh heh, ye of little faith. Wait 'til I unveil it...!

I am starting to take an interest in the Dragon 32. I never owned one back in the day and the information on the Internet seems to be scattered around a variety of places and is not too easy to locate with just a few mouse clicks. I am thinking about putting together a site like: http://www.acornele...
