well, choosing a way to go..im using the moreinfo for it in this way [alternative loader], because, in essence, thats exactly what it is.
As to the legitimacy of foreign games...how can a spanish release of a english game...possibly be considered a foreign release? its a re-release, nothing more. UNLESS they added to the game, of course.
As to speedlocks? well...i admit, i use Speculator, some of the nice TZX makers, included info on the loading scemes, which helps alot, i seem to recall something way about about spotting them..by watching them load but..thats not 100% (i think the load headers are actually called speedlockxxx...i could be wrong)
Bleeploads are easy as hell to spot....so are turboloads, give speculator a try..with slow load, and the info tab open, helps alot.
And..you want me to be quiet? after the lecture pandemonium gave me about work in the community?

[Vaxalon say: which is why we decided, a LONG time ago, that the [!] flag was damn near impossible to certify, even if you converted the game yourself.]
Ok this is tricky, but let me give you an example....take one the the adventure international games, adventures, release by at least four different companies. EXACTLY the same game...but maybe..different load schemes......now given that they are all the same....which one would YOU, call the best....original.....perfect...version?
now an old company i used to playtest for once gave me his "master" tapes.....does that make them perfect? or as close to perfect as possibly? i cant really answer that with any certainty myself. And yes, your quite right...exacly the same game....made with maketzx..., five...or six times..would ALWAYS have a different checksum.
But...use [!] if you think its your due
im probably wrong
btw....2 UK speccy channels? do tell...i would find em handy
Ok....not sure about adding the software you use to make the file as a field......any comments on that chaps? not entirely sure i see the relevance.
