Reckon there'll be a future Gollop pack for sure. Having rebelstar on my Ipod which i can come back to and resume is brilliant. Love that game. Do you put everyone through the single hole in the wall or go through many different points and meet up near the reactor ! By the way make sure you check out those Spectrum Games Bible books ! I've heard theyre very good and feature over 1500 reviews Okay okay plug over !
How do the controls compare with Elite? I found the elite controls really good on the IPOD version. Also (apart from the HD) are there any differences between the IPOD version of Elite and the IPAD version? Is there such thing as a HD speccy game??? Does the HD version improve the graphics enough to pay the extra £2.99. I love the idea of playing the Monty games, Wally games and Jet Set Willy !!
Hello, I find out how to add games, but I need some help, how to configure kempston joystick and configure buttons (fire button, additional buttons etc), I think there are some codes to put into config file
I bought the Elite pack just for gollup pack and to be honest it was disappointing. The main game I bought it for was chaos which me and some friends used to play almost constantly and I still love to this day. I found that emulator crashed before the end of almost every game while on the original Spectrum we used to play it over and over without any crashes or if there was very rarely. I've taken to playing a remake on my pc instead called chaos groove.
Where are these available ? As pdf or printed only ? (I would like to read it on my iPad on travels ;-) )
For me, it's Spectaculator all the way on iOS. I've spent a few hours having a play & managed to add a small collection of games I had as a kid & it's great. I'll do my best to share what I understand, but there's a few things I haven't worked out & hope someone here will know the answers. - Does anyone know how to configure the 'Break/Space' key in the Config.plist file? - On the same note, other keys, such as 'Caps Shift' or 'Symbol Shift'? - Does anyone know if it's possible to assign multiple keys to a single button (e.g. Both 'Caps Shift' or 'Symbol Shift' to a single virtual button? Thanks, Russ.
umm I have the modified plist file here is example code: I edited it from my Sim City tape. before use delete my edits

Thanks for the response, I see there you have no additional buttons assigned. Assigning additional buttons is where I need some help. Here I'll share my findings with some of the less obvious settings to help people may trip a little on: The Thumb Pad & buttons are as follows: And lastly, gestures. These work very similar to the controls: And lastly some system type options: I know there's a lot, but if you've had a go at these it should make sense. Again, if anyone can work out those non-standard keys, I'd be well grateful. Russ.
Ace, Had some help on this & to configure the Break/Space key you can use something like the following line: Again, make sure you use joystickType 6 for keys to be assigned. Thanks for the pointer, Russ.
Yeah you`re probably right, its just that i`ve done over a 100 custom games for the C64 emu and I cannot be bothered with all that ball-ache again My main problem is finding the time to do all this. Dam Apple and all their restrictions!
I agree, this isn't the place to distribute things since there's a perfectly good World of Spectrum that we all love, but I'd be happy to paste my Config.plist files here (They may not be exactly set to everyones liking, but you can tweak them). You'll have to create your own Artwork.png & Icon.png files for fortunately, the App resizes them regardless of the dimensions so you don't need to be exact. Also, the Instructions.html & Addendum.html files you'll need to create, but I've been using the .txt instructions from WOS for these. If you know basic html, you'll be fine. If you'd like any of the following config files for the following, let me know & I'll post em here: Advanced Lawn Mower Simulator After Burner Americal Football Ant Attack ATF ATV Simulator (Recorded from my own tape way back, since the Codies won't allow distribution ) Back to Skool Ballbreaker II Batman: The Caped Cruisader (Parts 1 & 2) Batman: The Movie Blind Panic Bomb Jack Bounder Brainstorm Buffalo Bills Wild West Show (or Wild West Rodeo) Cabal Chase H.Q. Confuzion Crazy Cars Crazy Golf Cybernoid Cybernoid 2 Cyclone Russ.
