Rocks'n'Diamonds

Where you (and anybody else) could help me here: Which are the most simple levels where you encountered this bug? Zelda / Zelda II are just too heavyweight for debugging, but I know that this problem also occurs on "standard" R'n'D levels (that do not feature lots of complex custom elements). I als...

I already have an updated Supaplex level collection available, which I still haven't managed to release as an update to that old download... I will try to release it in January 2018! :-) I have to postpone the release to February, I'm afraid. While I was working on that new level collection, I've f...

The tape issues are the main one's that bugged me. e.g. I played the the Zelda game, and the timer had wrapped around twice, but when I went back to play the game(after exiting R'n'D), it had me dying around the 1st 94 minute mark. 100+ minutes of the game gone. From start to that point by Warp Forw...

From the start game menu (or whatever you call it) If F2 is used to continue from tape save, and then it is stopped in the middle of it's count up to where it's left off at point, that'll be the furthest in the playback it can go[i.e. can't stop and play it back further than that point], even if the...

Also the level preview is missing. It was a the bottom of the menu that had 'start game' in it. Might be neat if the level preview was faded and the background of the menu as well. Although, depending upon how it's done this might negatively effect readability of the text, and might be annoying to s...

Here are the one's I couldn't beat, How to beat them? Is it possible? both CLASSIC ORIGINAL GAMES - SUPAPLEX, and SUPAPLEX 96 100 IQ! - Not enough red disks that are usable? Extra blockage that shouldn't be there? 105 One's Missing - How to unblock exit? (, etc...?) SUPAPLEX - SUPAPLEX 96 (The mirr...

Guessing all the 'empty' levels are ones that would be incompatible? No, I think they simply never existed... If it's not on www.elmerproductions.com (which is a fairly complete Supaplex ressource), it probably never existed. :-) Maybe the levels numbers that were skipped existed at some point at l...

I tried it, it works, this definitely could make it more fun playing on higher resolutions screens. [I don't know how the internals of Rocks'n'Diamonds works, and haven't studied the source code] Still some (minor?) issues... The Rocks'n'Diamonds menus are less of an ideal size The "HALL OF FAME" re...

I'm starting to wonder if tape gets messed up when saves are done quickly and close to another save.

Yes, you're right -- all these problems with the level set "Supaplex 96" (and all other Supaplex level sets from the old Supaplex level colletion download from the "Levels" page) are due to the fact that the levels in these sets are still converted levels in R'n'D format from a time where the nativ...

I noticed this with Supaplex 96 but it is possible this could also apply to other levelsets For Supaplex 96 which is supposed to be a mirror of the classic Supaplex levels, the Electrons and the Snik Snaks don't kill Murphy on touch like in the classic ones. For Supaplex 96 gravity doesn't get turne...

Here's a tape from a level that got messed up. There was a difference between playing back from start and using F2 to load tape at a position. F2 was working, but replay tape from start wasn't. Then I exited and restarted the level, then both F2 and replay tape from start were messed up. By messed u...

Just thinking about it, the tape bugs seams to have happened more[ or only?] on levels with the 'Electron' in them, Then again maybe not.

Can't skip right to a level unless all previous levels have been completed, or manually skipped. Set "handicap" to "off" in the setup menu (game sub-section) to be able to select every level you want! :-) Thanks, that enabled skipping! Curious as to what the actual handicap(s) is(are). Is this the ...

Yes -- avoiding F1/F2 and only using the play/record buttons on the tape recorder should always result in tapes without such synchronization problems. That is, stop and replay the recorded tape (with normal or one of the faster speeds, optionally using "pause before end"), enter "pause" mode, switc...
