Re: My homebrew games for the Laser 500 and VZ200

Ok so I couldn't get any to work. I converted them all to WAV (using CVZ2WAV), and ran them with "CRUN". They all loaded up with the same nonsensical name and rebooted at the end of loading. IMG20230116192920.jpg I don't have th 16K RAM expansion so it may have just been a memory issue, but in each ...

Re: My homebrew games for the Laser 500 and VZ200

Thanks for making these for the community!
