    Sam - this is just a continuation from your topic at dcemulation, as soon as the plain files are up, I'll recompile the readme etc. to correspond to the current release, I can then recompile the image with the Z-Code files. Hopefully, if all goes well, I should an image up by the end of the week for you (at the latest).

    Sounds good :) Plain files and source have been uploaded to the website, you can grab them from http://www.c99.org/dc/frotzdc/

    Thanks for making the images. I increased the amount of files per directory the file selector can display to 512, so go crazy :)

    The image should be available very soon, it's uploaded and a page is being made, it contains 318 Z-Code files. Almost the entire IF Archive has been included, when I say almost, I mean I've left out some of the vulgar titles so hopefully we won't offend anyone plus a few others.

    I'm glad you got the file selector working Sam, it was (and is) one of the best features of the later FrotzDC releases. I have noticed though, if you press any other button (apart from START) before you press START on the colour scheme menu, the DC reboots?, it's not a serious bug though, because it tells you to press START on the screen :oops: .

    I can't reproduce that here :-/ Does it happen consistantly? What devices are attached? What buttons cause it to reboot? Are you self-booting, or booting from DreamInducer?

    After reporting that problem, it took me ages to reproduce it, I was testing with a standard controller, no VMU, and no Keyboard (pointless without both really).
    I was testing the image for colour schemes and booting the Z-Code files, I got fed up deleting the frotz.ini and the beep noise (no batteries), so I removed the VMU, this was only because of testing for the image release. With a VMU in the controller (slot 1) and Keyboard (slot 2), everything is just fine, I didn't play the games to completion obviously, but the save/restore function works ok also in this release.

    Sorry if I caused any panic over here :oops: .

    hi, i just signed up to ask this question,
    does this new release have an option to move the display, because on my tv it is too far to the left and all the first letters are cut off, so Its just not usable, and i would love to play zork on the tv on my dc, can you answer this please as this is a big problem that needs fixing. i really would love to be able to use this one day ;)

    Not yet, but it is something I am looking into for future versions. Perhaps the larger font (40 column mode) will work for now?
