The Salora advert is strange, in that it just advertises creatiVision software.
Now we need to find a Laser 2001 advert!

I finally got an original Joystick for the Laser 2001, to use on my Salora ;0)
It will need some Retrobrighting (i will do some lightbrighting as soon as the sun comes out :0))

Yes, it works! only strange thing is: in Astro Pinball the left and right firebuttons are switched... very strange...

Great finding.
Yes Astro Pinball on Manager plays with inverted joystick buttons.

I am still not 100% sure the CV and Manager cartridges are different.

The quick patch to invert the fire buttons for Astropib.bin is to switch the tests at $AE14, file offset $E15

Hi all!
With immense pleasure, thanks to the help from two Finnish gentlemen, I announce that our little community now has excellent scans of the Salora Manager technical manual!
128 pages with extremely detailed reference to the computer hardware, a programmer's guide and complete technical data sheets for every single piece of circuit!
It took me quite a few days to clean the original scans. I made it into a PDF and uploaded it to the CreatiVEmu server. The file is 38 MBytes and it is now accessible for free download from:
