Yes I dragged a folder named Striker.tzx with Striker.tzx file in it, to the Purchased Games folder ,it shows up in iexplorer when the phone is plugged in, but it isn't in the Spectaculator games library , it is strange as I did have it installed before but after the update it vanished ..Im using ios 7 btw
I haven't yet updated to iOS 7 so I don't know if something has changed, but I would be surprised if that broke anything in Spectaculator. Do you have a "Config.plist" in the game's folder as well, one which includes something like <key>gameTitle</key> <string>Striker</string> in it? The simplest way to make it is to copy the existing version for another game and change just that part of it. You can tweak the other bits later once the game appears in the list. The other files: "Artwork.png", "Icon.png", "Instructions.html" and "Addendum.html" are probably optional but you could just copy those files unaltered from another game to be on the safe side.
Hello ,no I just have the Striker.tzx file, it is a keyboard only game ,really basic controls,I can not get on the archive section of Word Of spectrum at the moment for some reason, but I am sure it came with just the tzx file, and it works fine on zxspin. I am at a loss with it !

The game starts but crashes shortly after a correctly spelled "Rise from your grave" from the ole' Zeusmeister. Anyone having the same issues? I'm guessing the emu simply can't support it. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #188 psj3809, Aug 20, 2014 Never tried it, beautiful version ?!? I love the Speccy and many of its great classics but was never a fan of this. Prefer to play this one on MAME for sure. Was going to try it but the games denied on WOS. Like you say i presume it cant support it if you've tried those different formats FuZion Well-Known Member Jul 18, 2011 146 0 16 #189 FuZion, Aug 21, 2014 Seems to be working fine for me (Emuparadise). I'm using model 2. Not sure if that'll help, but it's worth a try. FlightOfTheFelines Member Jan 28, 2014 5 0 0 #190 FlightOfTheFelines, Aug 23, 2014 Hmm, I checked all three z80's they had on Emuparadise but none worked. One is even a demo. What do you mean model 2? I think my version of Spectaculator is the latest. FuZion Well-Known Member Jul 18, 2011 146 0 16 #191 FuZion, Aug 23, 2014 Within the config file, you can specify which Spectrum model you're using. Most other settings in the config file are about the game name & controls so I can't imagine they'd have an impact. Try using the following in Config.plist to see if that helps: <key>model</key> <integer>2</integer> and maybe this just in case there's some sort of loading issue: <key>allowNormalLoading</key> <true/> FlightOfTheFelines Member Jan 28, 2014 5 0 0 #192 FlightOfTheFelines, Aug 24, 2014 Oh, wonderful!

Used to love playing Sabre Wulf on this little beauty.

The necessary folders cannot currently be access with the likes of i explorer right now under 8.3. Whatever you already have in will probably be fine, but you won't be able to add or remove anything for a while. spooky23 Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2011 266 0 16 #199 spooky23, Jul 14, 2016 I need Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing on iOS.
