Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Long shot I know, but I thought I'd try here before trawling through Ebo. Anyone got any games gathering dust for this exotic machine? Check your lofts, because I want them and am prepared to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Taped over most my tapes...but I remember a website years ago that had mp3's which you could hook up to your tape machine and record to get working copies!!Might still have a couple at my mums house though.In the meantime though....http://www.worldofspectrum.orgAlmost EVERY speccy game available to play/download online!Except the OCEAN and CODEMASTERS games who fucking complained....I can't remember seeing speccy tapes in the shops since 1991 so i fail to see how they think they're loosing out on money!!#------------------------------------------------------Here we go...You need this tool...ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/pc/tape2wav.zipThis converts the TZX spectrum archive image format into a windows WAV file so you can audibly heard. You could hook the PC up to a tape deck and record the noise, then load the tapes in the machine.I imagine the WAV files might turn out quite big so make sure you have a spare bit of hard drive space.As for the images, loads of good (legal) images here http://www.worldofspectrum.org/stp/games.htmlAin't that much great games in a perfect TZX format (which is what you would need) but enough to get you started.I want a speccy again now!

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Oh Christ Keilan, that's far too technical for a Luddite like me! Yeah, I know about the WOS site. Codemasters complained? The absolute cunts, that means no Dizzy games. Guess I'm keeping an eye on the P+J small ads, someone sells Speccy stuff there about once a month.
